minus-squareprole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-219 hours ago (basically nobody can reasonably fight off an armed force on their own, it’s logistics, not a shonen match). To be fair, the only wars that the US has arguably lost, has been against irregular insurgencies.

minus-squareprole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-28 hours agoOh, it would be devastating… But if Ho Chi Minh could do it, I think a nation with ~1.2 firearms per person could end up on top… Also, the military are still US citizens and many would refuse to turn their weapons on fellow citizens.
minus-squareEvil_Shrubbery@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 hours agoWhere would the fighting take place? Private homes? City blocks? You can just torch those. And can these people leave their homes/jobs without starving (and no foreign aid)? ICE and the police are also citizens and don’t seem to have much problem with it.
