The US is basically one big unhardened underbelly.
The US puts most of its effort into creating the appearance of strength rather than strength itself, and its been baked into the military doctrine since the 1950/60s with Korea. Copaganda (shows like 24 or Cops), the Military-Industrial-Film complex (Top gun, too many movies to list), comic book movies (good guys have to always do the more “moral” thing), the shock and awe doctrine; you can genuinely attach the US’s security posture almost directly to one guy: Robert McNamara. This idea of creating the appearance of the thing being as effective as the thing is fundamental to US hegemony, and its currently falling apart. The man behind the curtain was never meant to be revealed because the theatrics were supposed to be so impressive you would never even consider trying to reveal them.
Take a look at Russias invasion of Ukraine, and consider the implications of what it means to have un-hardened infrastructure. Now the US continues to believe itself to be invulnerable in this regard, but consider, what would be the implications of an oil pipeline disruption at this current moment? Trump brags about how the US is relatively secure in regards to oil production, twice as much as the next blah blah blah.
Those pipelines run for hundreds of miles basically defenseless.
He said, as he gave out instructions on how to start Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Kind of reminds me of those frozen grape juice blocks they sold in the 1930s that did NOT contain alcohol, but gave a very specific warning on the back for the exact specific steps you absolutely shouldn’t do. Because if you did complete those steps, your 100% legal nonalcoholic grape juice would ferment into illegal alcoholic wine. They’re just warning you what NOT to do. Wink wink.
Saying “the US has unhardened infrastructure” is as obvious as saying “don’t attack Iran, they can choke off 30% of the global economy”.
Only the most obtuse and maladroit of players of the game would allow themselves to expose such glaring vulnerability.
Are they remaking Red Dawn again?
Nice try, Trump.
Please, you think this question is some kind of honeypot?
If it was, that wouldn’t work. 80% of his most loyal staff (especially the secret service) are part of the revolution, playing the long game to undermine his administration from within. Basically, everyone he truly relies on is plotting against him.
No, I thought it was a good setup for a cliche one-liner.
I used to bullseye womp rats in my t-16 back home
Just aim for the exhaust ports!
Who said it will be civilians
I believe the soldiers would back the citizens but trump’s private army (ICE) would defend him.
Arm up, wear a mask, wear something that says ICE on it and ta da now you’re in disguise.
You think American can run? Lmao
If Trump was the fascist the way leftists paint him, rebelion would be crushed by iron boot of the military and mass executions would follow. Do you really think common people could ever have chance against biggest army in the world???
