There is Fort Sumter, Colonel. The Lieutenant is ready to touch off the cannon. What do you say to him? Are you ready? I am sure not. CW2 would be a bloodbath, a horrible searing scarring trauma, and probably the end of the USA. I think we need to keep fighting the Cold Civil War. If it goes hot, we will all be losers.
That die has already been cast. They have already declared war against us and fired the first shots. Time and again...
Ruby Rodge. Waco. Elian Gonzalez. People die in outright illegal raids by government agents weekly....
Some don’t. The Hutaree and David Olfson. Red’s Trading Post. David Sarti...
Is it STILL a “cold” war just because we haven’t fought back?
I agree. I think they will push until they think they can't push any more, and if that isn't enough, things may go hot.
If that happens, it must be stomped, as hard, fast, and completely as possible. Keep in mind that media accounts may well be completely distorted, and limiting that might be a worthwhile objective.
