    So far I’ve heard official statements saying “The goal of this is to bring about Armageddon so that Jesus can return,” and “there won’t be any stupid rules of engagement.” Both from SecDef.

    Meanwhile the official white house statement is that “the full scope and duration of military operations” is unknown.

    This is literally an act of world sabotage by the doomsday cult in charge of the world’s most powerful military…

    I’m gonna be sick…

        You don’t understand very much if you think any singular individual with a gun can simply “do something” about the military-industrial complex and militarized police force.

        Lone wolf attacks don’t accomplish shit but bad PR. Actuality doing something effective would take a level of organization and coordination that doesn’t exist and may even be impossible due to the surveillance state and even just the fractured state of american society.

        Even a well-ordered movement wouldn’t have the firepower to match what they’re up against. Virtually limitless federal budget, armored vehicles, a monopoly on everything bigger than a rifle, thousands of centrally-organized personnel, etc.

          You haven’t heard of guerilla war? It has worked elsewhere. In fact, it has worked against the US.

          I really would prefer it doesn’t come to that. However, the midterms will tell the world if that’s the only option.

          What’s the point of having guns then?

          Americans should give up their guns, at least less children will be sacrificed to Baal

            You’ll have to take that question up with the gun nuts who are actively supporting fascism. I can’t speak on their behalf…
