Our forefathers won a war against the military might of the most powerful empire on earth, with little more than untrained farmers with muskets and guts.
The US military was tied up in Iraq for more than eight years by a few thousand uneducated camel jockeys with AK-47s and improvised explosive devices.
And you think a force of 90 million well armed Americans has any reason to fear ANY army? Get a grip on the reality of the situation.
Without France financing a huge part of the Revolution, those untrained farmers would of been destroyed eventually. Heck, before Franklin appeased France for more assistance the revolutionaries were running thin on supplies. First rule of revolutions, find a country that is well off and wishes to finance your cause while feeling out other countries as well.
What makes you think the UN won’t send millions of people from China, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, India, Africa, Saudi Arabia, and wherever else over here to “keep the elections safe” in 2016? Do you really think the Senate would stop a treaty like that? We have the worst president in US history in office, just got reelected on top of that. Why are you so sure of our future? The times to fight back have long passed. All that’s left is to wait for the knock at the door.
What times am I talking about?
Shay’s Rebellion was lost. The Civil War was lost. Nobody did anything during Prohibition. Nobody did anything in 1984 after Miller was decided. Nobody did anything in 1964 when the Gun Control Act was passed. Nobody did anything in 1994 when the Assault Weapons Ban was passed.
It really is simple. The people as a whole will accept anything and everything that comes their way without so much as a profane word. We were doomed a long, long time ago.
