Why on earth would they do it as they are sure to lose and find themselves hanging from lamp posts?

The entire premise is flawed.

The above premise is flawed.

It is not at all clear "they" would lose.

Even if "they" lose, those pushing for the conflict win.

If the USA goes into kinematic war, the Chinese (and all our other foreign enemies), win.

Dean,

You mean a shootin’ war.

It used to bother me greatly to hear that term used by military folks to describe a shooting war. The term on its own is rather vague and meaningless unless understood as jargon. Jargon makes folks misunderstand things.

Shooting war. The end result of shooting wars is bullet and flesh meeting, that the kinetic aspect of it and the term.

Anyway, I agree. If patriots start the shooting, then the forces of the fedgovt and states will be brought to bear. If they start it piecemeal, then the media absorbs it and quashes the facts. Best is to be lawfully armed and make your own decision at this point. There may be a time when a general reset would be useful, but not now.

Sad to say, we need to look deeply at the Declaration Of Independence and study the long train of abuses and usurpations to understand what must occur first, before anyone or group stands a chance at “kinetics”.

Basically, the Colonists had to suffer absolute tyranny, no elections, no representation, no home appointed judges or courts and such. That is the litmus test of a tyranny. Screwed up elected officials notwithstanding.

even if a president has an election stolen....patience.

"It is not at all clear "they" would lose."

Add to that and the current paranoia the report that the Secretary of Defense will seek a Presidential wavier this week that will allow the military to make the vaccine shots mandatory for all personnel and will override a Federal Judge's injunction that has blocked DOD until now. Right after the military is vaccinated and purged of all who refuse, will there be a need for the troops to move against resisters in the US?
