No amount of tanks or planes will stop boogaloo-ers from fighting for freedom if they really believe they are right

pretty much

Hey quit Civil War posting

Imagine how much better Americans would be at insurgency compared to poor uneducated middle easterners

not nearly as good

lol, Americans as an insurgency would literally be impossible to deal with.

difficult

not impossible

impossible.

@A. Spader by Americans i dont mean liberals in cities lol

you have such generalized knowledge in the general public. You can't go far before you find someone who knows how to make everything, explosives included.

Other nations are far more lobotomized.

oh I mean the rural areas too

Iraqi insurgents only suvived because they stole from old military depots from all their wars and Iran supplied some.

as long as the structure of state power (nukes, planes, etc.) remains one sided it would be a bitter fight, but no side would be assured victory

If they didn't have ready-made bombs, they would have had spitballs to use as IEDs.

look up Rex 84

if you don't believe the government is capable of action very quickly to attempt to put down such resistance you're mistaken

How are nukes useful for the govt in an insurgency type situation?

They can what, blow up their own cities?

any large-scale WMD, nuke or otherwise, is too destructive for the gov't to want to use against an insurgency.

Only China has the surveillance establishment to quell an insurgency before it gets out of their control.

USA has the tools, but not the legality to use it that way, even in practice.

China is barely hanging on during good times

if you think that you severely underestimate the lengths the state will take to subvert the law in wartime

Even if they wanted to, they don't know what they're doing. Frankly, the USA's three-letters don't know what the're doing in suppressing domestic dissent as China does.

drones will be able to do arial surveillance of alot

Ya, and again, generalized knowledge in the public negates a lot of that.

it won't get forested areas or mountains as much but of course they'll have 24 hr updates

plus infared tech being what it is, they won't have to concentrate too much

@A. Spader you're right. The govt would do a lot of horrible things and they have a lot of tools to use, but they cant beat 25-50 million armed men spread across the country

if 25 million are fighting, yeah

but the government's strategy will be to prevent the number from every getting that high

Infrared is defeatable as a surveillance tool.

Yeah probably. Propaganda and such

pick off people slowly, bits at a time

believe it or not.

@Jeremy-Retard oh I know. It's just illustrative of the power they have

They will portray any resistance as terrorists but most who arent left dont trust news and govt info anyway

as long as numbers are thin they can use the door kickers to take out most of em

Its hard to say, but civilians guns are such a huge factor that govt cant be sure they can win. Thus they cant go too far to quickly. Only small increases that they can hide and mislead about
