Let’s talk terrain and numbers. Remember the famous red v. blue voting map? There is a lot of red, and in the interior the few blue splotches are all cities like Las Vegas or Denver. That is a lot of territory for a counter-insurgent force to control, and this is critical. The red is where the food is grown, the oil pumped, and through which everything is transported. And that red space is filled with millions of American citizens with small arms, a fairly large percentage of whom have military training.

Everything that keeps the country alive runs through red...

Red Americans are Communist-Fascists. I’m a Conservative Blue, not a Commie Red. I cringe when I see intelligent people using the Orwellian media newspeak relabeling. It distracts badly in such an article. Down with the real REDS !

It is so easy to shut down food, electricity, fuel and water to cities, the leftist crazies wouldn't stand a chance.

No need to bother shooting them when you can starve and freeze them out.

The Left has been successful slow-boiling the frog for many decades, but lately they’ve gotten cocky and impatient, and the frog is onto them. Quick, get the lid!

You wouldn’t need a single gun to defeat the Democrats in either scenario. Just turn off (or, as resistance, disable or destroy) the EBT system and inside of 5 days every Democratic area would be brought to its knees by their own feral populations.

They don’t serve in the combat arms in the military if they serve at all...

They chop off their penises...

They dislike guns and do not have much background in them...

They really have no skills that lend themselves to anything outside a nice day outside Manhattan or DC...

They aren’t nice people and do not have the ability to cooperate with like minded friends...

They have never used 4x4 except possibly on a snowy road on the way to starbucks, and they sucked at it.

They don’t hunt, fish, or grow anything except pot...

They are the enemies of freedom and hate Jesus and our founders. Enemies of freedom ALWAYS lose. Nazis, Bolsheviks, Khmer Rouge, Jap militarists, Redcoats, Comanches, Klansmen, etc. Bad guys always lose in the end...always.

Unable to take the field until they figure out which latrine to use.

Another classic from Kurt Schlichter.

LOL reminds me of when I drove on I-84 in NY between Newburgh and Pt Jervis during heavy snowfalls, it wasn't unusual to see at least 6-7 4-wheel drive vehicles spun out in the median or shoulders. A WW2 historian noted that the then new 4 wheel drive Jeeps could go through just about anything as long as they were driven S-L-O-W-L-Y.

They think they have a plan and they are very patient, this was written in 1872 but really speaks to where we are today

Excerpt:

Albert Pike’s contraversial descriptopn of WWIII

The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the ‘agentur’ of the ‘Illuminati’ between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion. We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.

Another factor.. The cities, once cut off from supplies, will destroy themselves from inside as the liberal underclass mobs start rioting. They have been bred and raised for one purpose, to vote democrat in elections. They have no other use, not even as canon fodder.

When you break it down below the State level, there’s a lot of purple. States turned Red or Blue based on small percentages, for the most part.

It won’t be State against State, it’ll be neighborhood against neighborhood. Some on this forum call for secession.

And it might turn into something like the “Troubles” in Ireland.

Also, at the start of CW I, many thought it was going to be a short romp, that they’d win easily and quickly...many on both sides thought that.

There is enough food in the stores to last three days or four at the max. They’d start rioting within the first day and the stores would be looted. Damage the grid so power isnt there and they would kill each other off. The store owners would shut down because they cant run the cash registers and then the riots would start. No water, no power and a limited supply of food.

Your right, they’d kill each other off within the first couple weeks. If not, wait a month and they’d start getting sick from the filth. Hell, they’d s&^t in the streets like they do in San Fran now, no burials-would not happen, it’d be the dark ages all over again.

Wrong—The new People’s Republic of California would quickly become an iron Communist state—looters shot, firm laws, prisons armed and conscripted into the People’s Revolutionary Army. Guns banned, food rationed, Internet down and controlled. The State needs things—they would take them. A wall would be built by California at the border-TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM ESCAPING TO MEXICO!

Read about the Commune in Paris in 1870—Communist defended the city for months before it fell. That’s how LA and SF would be defended. Millions would die. Fight for the New People’s Republic of California—or be shot by the Red Guards! It would rip the nation apart—but I don’t think it would last long—maybe a year.

the destruction of Christianity and atheism


How is atheism destroyed? Force everyone to believe in something?

A lot of wars happen when both sides think they will win.

Some wars happen because of pure aggression by one side. The other has no choice: fight or die.

In the First U.S. Civil war, both sides thought they would win and had significant advantages.

It ended with horrible losses for both sides, but the South was mostly destroyed. The North used a lot of immigrant soldiers to take down the South, and the Northern elite arranged things so they suffered relatively little.

I like Kurt, but he ignores the potential for outside militaries to intervene.

Do you think Obama or successors would have any compunction on calling for NATO or Chinese “peacekeepers” to pacify U.S. rural areas?

There would be lots of Mexicans willing to fill ranks in the U.S. Army and Marines, if it came to that, for generous benefits and a promise of a piece of rural America confiscated from conservative “rebels”.

It would be no cake walk. It would be horrible and deadly. Millions would die.

It is our job to convince others, especially the Left, that this is so.
