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

guns don't shoot themselves

training and willingness to fight far outweigh equipment

They do if you build a sensor and set up shotgun boobytraps 🤔

hell most of the goat herders we're fighting have total shit tier equipment, let alone the sort of guns of the people of America

much less the types of people here

and yet they've fought us *very* effectively

"fought us effectively"

for some definitions of effective

*for goat herders with 30 year old sks

Well even if only a small percentage of Americans have the will, ability, and equipment to fight thats still many millions

We could do a lot more if we weren't supporting a reginme selling the weapons and material aid directly to these same "goat hurders"

Pakistan and Afghanistan

like 70% of all the military shit we give them just disappears due to the corruption

From guns to jeeps

@tomhastherage again, I agree with you. It hits the million mark it's an unwinnable war for the state. But I think they're better than we give them credit for at preventing it from ever getting that far

that's part of why ISIS had so much US stuff, it wasn't just that they had "conquered" US depots

A lot of the fuckery that makes the US so bad for us to deal with is all political

true

if we actually took control of the governments rather than doing the retarded shit we do

Even in Iraq

it'd have been 1000x better

if we just took over the government

even with the retardo decisions

yeah urban renewal in kabul is a God awful strategy

Good ol Paul Bremer

anyone get him a lead treat yet?

It wasn't going too bad Until Paul Bremer took over the CPA

Bremer, and by proxy since he pushed for the appointment Rumsfeld are almost singlehandedly responsible for all the retarded desicisions in Iraq

All the CIA nigger fuckery aside
