I still haven't gotten past ChileG counting paper losses in his 401k from a single day as money Trump "cost him"
 
There is no organized and armed body to fight against the US military. This isn't Afghanistan where the culture, language, backwoods paths, caves, and supply trains all favored the Taliban.
This is always what folks think but revolutions happen. There are 2.9 million Americans under arms. There are 336 million Americans. Certainly some of those civilians support Trump and certainly some of the military don't but if it was just civilians against military, the military would lose handily.
 
Now I see why all of the Trumper’s on this board have such severe cases of Biden Derangement Syndrome lololol. Trump literally cannot shut the fuck up about him. I’m pretty sure at this point Sleepy Joe must be in the spank bank for Dementia Don.

If a civil war breaks out the U.S. military will fracture. It won’t be ordinary citizens vs the military. It will be the military vs the military. However, even if it also came down to civilians, this country has more guns than people.
 
Yeah, hence the qualifier that "a bunch of civilians" had massive advantages in Afghanistan, that they won't here. Also, you claim "if it was just civilians against military, the military would lose handily" is nonsensical; in no scenario is the entire citizenry aligned against the military. The US is effectively the North vs South, once again, except it's dispersed as rural/exburb vs urban.
Didn't realize you knew what qualifiers were:

"Certainly some of those civilians support Trump and certainly some of the military don't but if it was just civilians against military, the military would lose handily."
 

I guess Veronica would rather tax dollars go where biden was spending them.


Tell me zzl, which of these do you feel is a good use of your tax dollars:

Here is the list of USAID expenses:

This would certainly be a trump win right? Can't find the "atta boy trump thread". Guessing you guys didn't add to it while I was out of town.
 

The CIA Is About to Get a Trump Makeover​

Spy agency’s workforce receives buyout-style offer​

“… The CIA appeared to be the first intelligence agency to tell its employees that they can quit their jobs and receive about eight months of pay and benefits as part of Trump’s push to downsize the federal government. The offer last month made to most civilian federal agencies exempted some categories of federal workers, including those with national security roles.

… The agency is also freezing the hiring of job seekers already given a conditional offer, an aide to CIA Director John Ratcliffe said. Some are likely to be rescinded if the applicants don’t have the right background for the agency’s new goals, which also include Trump’s trade war and undermining China, the aide said.


A CIA spokeswoman said the move was part of an effort to “infuse the agency with renewed energy.”

In his confirmation hearing, Ratcliffe promised to launch more hard-edge spying operations and covert action, naming drug cartels and China as key adversaries. “To the brave CIA officers listening around the world, if all of that sounds like what you signed up for, then buckle up and get ready to make a difference,” he told lawmakers last month. “If it doesn’t then it’s time to find a new line of work.”

Trump’s CIA will have a greater focus on the Western Hemisphere, targeting countries not traditionally considered adversaries of the U.S., the aide said.

For example, the CIA will use espionage to give Trump extra leverage in his trade negotiations, potentially spying on Mexico’s government amid the ongoing trade spat, the aide said.

The CIA will also take on a significant role fighting Mexican drug cartels, the aide said, which Trump designated as terror groups on his first day in office. …”
