Cut off their water supply and you will have them surrendering within days.

So then what do you do with 7M people who just surrendered to you in NYC?

My point is that a war has to have a starting point, something that initiates violence, and the government, and the forces it commands, will take a side.

The American Civil War happened because of a breakdown in the chain of command (I mean, that’s why there were two armies that could face off against each other).

I have not heard a civil conflict scenario yet that splits the Army and Marine Corps. If “conservatives” are fighhting “liberals” because of an imaginary event (assassination of the President, for example), there will still be a Commander in Chief, there will still be a Secretary of Defense, and they will be giving orders.

What they order the military to do is probably what they will do.

And, most likely, they will be on one side or the other.

In a Red Dawn scenario, where the country is invaded and there are areas with no US forces, I can see the deer hunter army being effective in the way a lot of posters here imagine.

But I cannot come up with a CW II scenario where the military forms up into two armies.

And it’s no leftist fantasy to believe that, if the civil government means for an unorganized group of men with rifles to disperse and is able to transmit legal orders through an intact chain of command to make that happen, that the deer hunters will outfight real soldiers.

Well, if I had my way all leftists would become refugees by leaving the country, but that’s not realistic.

Once they surrender the only thing we could do is to simply turn the water back on, restore the flow of food and other supplies, and allow the garbage trucks to start emptying the city of trash.

Doing anything else would be like what Russia did to its people during the last century.

God truly has a disturbed sense of humor allowing such a high percentage of people to be inflicted with the leftist mental illness. It’s almost an advertisement for DNA controlled birth to prevent leftists from ever being born in the first place. Of course that assumes leftists are born and not made into mentally deranged sociopaths by the education system, media, and defective parents.

Grateful Dead. Interesting.

I've also notices their Christian allegories in other songs. Especially Terrapin Station, but others as well. Interestingly enough.

After all these years...

"Who Would Have the Advantage in a US Civil War?"

The side that didn't tell the other side all about itself and its plans, of course. Probably the liberal, global "investors," who so easily get their conservative enemies to vainly spill their guts.

The rot from social perversions and neo-socialism has invaded every institution including the various types and shadows of the Navy as well as other branches. Because of the bizarre political and social situation, cohesiveness is more tenuous than it appears to be, even from within ranks.

American men, including the many who have served, are not equivalent to gangs of third world monkeys. A very few prior servicemen do broadcast leftism loudly and often so as to appear to be more numerous, but they are rare and odd indeed.

And moving manufacturing shops overseas for a few decades did not remove ingenuity from western culture men. The laziness that we’ve seen is only a temporary result of our business, academic and political leaders giving their jobs to foreign, communist enemies for a while. And...of the fatherlessness inflicted on them. Many of them have begun to listen and awaken.

The following headline and article generalized too much, because not all of the wealthy are paranoid liberal lefties who plot against us. Many of them support our President’s Administration, for example. But the article reveals a few very interesting facts that were heretofore hidden.

There’s weakness, and in their fantastic, hypothetical imaginings, even they don’t expect their political influence over the various departments to protect them unconditionally.

“Almost one third of the nation believes a civil war is imminent.”

imminent???? imminent?

It started a couple of years ago, but is still in it’s “Cold War” stage. Various members of the left from Politicians to Activists to members of the MSM are egging it towards “Hot” stage. (God forbid).

The next few years wil be telling.

Don’t forget the activist judges and the radical left college professors.

It’s obvious that the globalist, anti-American, communist faction believes that the situation in commerce, the media, etc., makes the U.S.A. ripe for a takeover. But we only see talk.

Where’s the action? Let’s not continue to publicly discuss what real Americans will do. What will the commies do next? That’s what we want to know.

I agree a guerilla war, but so far we are losing. Or not even fighting.

Seth Rich, Scalia, the entire Clinton Arkanicide list which is in the hundreds...

We on the right still seem to think we can resolve this with a equally applied rule of law. I hope it can, but as Hillary and Obama and the deep state and all the scandals of the left seem to drift off into the past unresolved with no justice, it looks like this is going to end up being a test of the limits of our (on the right) denial and wishful thinking.

God I hope I am wrong.

The advantage would go to the side willing to look their neighbor, fellow parishioner, PTA member, mailman in the eye and kill them.

Like the last one, this would be up close and personal.

Exactly so.

Tell them to speak upon who might know something, tell their tale, name names, give corroborating information?
