That's very naive, the open border has already allowed our enemies army into the country diguised as refugees . The US has already been impregnated. Plus, they can easily acquire the weapons needed to build their militia.

It is coming within the next year.

Poorly. We have alot of guns but very few are organized. Thinking they can just hunker down in their homes while organized units roam door to door. Factor in prolonged power outtages, communication outtages, and food shortages- lack of refrigeration. Will be difficult to haul around several hundred lbs of ammo while being flushed out.

Also consider if dc wants this to happen? And will purple hair troops uphold the constitution?

a. That would make no sense unless it's Venezuela. Mexico may be our closest ally and they are our biggest trading partner.

b. Still impregnable

this is the reason we haven’t won a war in a really long time.

The last time we lost a war was what? Vietnam?

We won Iraq (twice), Afghanistan, etc.

It is already happening and we have lost.
We are doing a great job letting 500,000 illegals invade monthly. Escorting and flying in Africans, Muslim terrorists and spending a trillion a year on these criminals domestically and internationally.

That’s funny because we always seem to be told every war we contribute to is so important to our national interest.

I think we might be in a rude awakening,


Historically the US enters every war unprepared to fight it, that defense strategies were focused on a different threat.

Imagine putting Afghanistan in the win column. It is actually a prime example of what I’m talking about.

I’d say about 20% of population would be protesting and burning our flag. And of that 20%, 95% of them would be crazy white people nutcases…

We would see it and bomb the everliving life out of any sort of Mexican/Canadian forward operations base based on satellite imagery years before it could become operational.

Are we talking wars or nation building?

We failed at nation building for sure. We won the war.

It seems we intended to remove the taliban from power. Theyre still in power.

We controlled Afghanistan for almost 20 years. We won the war.

We are not nation builders. I never said we were good at that.

Nobody "Ran us out". Nation building was expensive with no ROI. We chose to leave (which was the right choice).

We could take over Afghanistan again within a few months if we wanted.

Update: we don't want to.

We would be fine, thanks to all those supposed gun crazy white supremacists that reside all over the country. IF we were to be invaded, then this bullshite narrative of how dangerous this group really is would come to light....except those who love the country would realize they are on their side.

I also think the girls with penises would be a huge help as well. Put their mentally unstable asses on the front line and tell them the intruders are right wingers.

That "war" wouldn't last long.
