@Deleted User They had a superpower (USSR) supporting them

@Maksim the military is trained to protect that right.

@Attika Not in practice

@Maksim I have spoken with veterans

And what makes you think China or Russia wouldn't support a revolution in the US?

Many say if the government initiated a gun ban the military would intervene.

Military will defend the government depending on what benefits them more, not based on morals @Attika

I’ve always been of the strong belief that if the government tries to go too far the military will push back on it’s bullshit. After all the military is made up of some of the most liberty-loving Americans alive.

@Attika This is proven historically

@Maksim I disagree. The military hates the government outside of trump.

US is a different animal.

@Attika The generals call the shots - not the individual solider

You cannot say that they will intervene agains the government - you simply cannot there is no evidence for it.

The American political system is not very well represented in history. @Maksim Shit could go very differently than expected.

military could fracture but we have no idea what the battle lines will be
guns could be useful in a troubles type situation
which is the most likely case for a civil conflict atm

I can however say they will not intervene against - because there is historical evidence for it

@Maksim true in practice. But you’re forgetting that many generals support the 2nd amendment.

If there ever was social collapse.

I want my gun.

the civil war is unlikely to be a pitched battle

More importantly the vast majority of servicemen do too. @Attika

Exactly. @DrRisen

Most likely the military would split into different factions

True.

But we all know which faction would be bigger.

there would probably be a large domestic faction and a foreign backed smaller faction

if the military gets deployed even

I'd join the foreign backed one if it's russia

*my Russian meddling senses are tingling*

Since mostly conservatives make up the military most of the military would probably back the 2nd

Proxy war between Isreal and Russia on US soil

Doubt they would in a real civil conflict

Damn.

That’d be messy

if putin was a little more right wing and less capitalist
i would pray for meddling

lmao

same

@Maksim What if Ukraine supports the real government instead of the Russian puppet?

*Less* Capitalist?

🤦🏼‍♂️

Damn.
