Rifles can’t stop tanks and laser guided bombs.

If this goes hot, and God I pray it won’t, all the small arms will have little effect in the short term.

And for those who think the Oath Keepers will not fire, remember that organization is probably a false flag. The Fed by now knows who will and won’t fire on citizens, and will act accordingly.


You might have some but not all the military side with the left, I'm fairly confident that the majority will side with us. Plus you have your State National Guards too. If that is the case, it would probably be the best way if things go hot, the military kicks out the corrupt civilian leaders, establishes an interim government and holds new elections, sort of like rebooting the computer.

Worse case scenario, there is alway "Assymetrical Warfare," like the rebels took on the Soviets in Afghanistan, the Viet Cong in Vietnam, the Finns in the Winter War against the USSR, Lawrence of Arabia and there are plenty of other examples.

IF it got to that point, we are talking over tens of millions of casualties.

The US has a very fragile internal logistics structure. Just in time stocking means that you can run out very quickly.

And I don't think that the majority of the military will side with us. They will follow orders, because the alternative is summary imprisonment and execution. Look at all the plots against Hitler in the German army. They hated the guy, but didn't take action because the military culture is one where you follow orders. Not mutiny.

Now, if the fight went long, more and more would cross over. But the likelihood of a long civil war in the US is pretty remote. If, say, Montana tried to secede, most of the infrastructure can be wiped out in less than a day by the Air Force.

We need to stop hoping for a civil war or revolution. Besides the millions of deaths, remember that very few such actions have succeeded without the support of another power.
