    and with such vast power and influence… name the victories the US has had verses am insurgency on their own turf?

    and that’s considering untouchable industrial military complex and logistics pipeline, more better trained, and armed forces, unlimited money, and no real push back from the american populous.

    if one appeared within the US… it would be absolutely devastating to the military

      name the victories the US has had verses an insurgency on their own turf?

      None. Because they have only been tried once and failed because the odds were even. But now…

      The military can send missiles to any point on the globe with an accuracy of centimeters without losing a man.

      If you think the armed civilian populace of America can stand up to the full weight of the military Bering down on them…. I wish you good luck. But we both know how much all the internet bravado only looks good in writing.

        since the 1770’s i know of two wars the US has won against an insurgency.

        the US has been in a LOT of wars though. and one of the things they learned was that bombs were not very effective, and the us would have a much worse time off it bombing their own cities. A-wall’s and desertions would go through the roof, they would be out gunned a thousand to one, with literally more guns then people. Isfulstructure they would rely on is vulnerable from every angle, the government would be prisoners in their own bunkers.

        it would be devestating if the us has an insurgency

          For all of our sakes, I’m sure we won’t have to worry about it because it’s not going to happen anyway.

            For all of your sakes, I hope you’re right, but what is happening right now is literally every single right is being stripped away. Even the right to vote is in a thin line. Is it worth fighting if you’re no longer allowed to vote? If not, the american people are as spineless as I always thought they were.
