      The US is notoriously bad at dealing with insurgencies. Toppling a government/military is what the military is designed for, and has shown to be able to do in a matter of weeks, but stamping out an armed populace afterwards has always been where they falter. The US would be the most heavily armed insurgency to ever exist. More guns than people here

        But like, it doesn’t really matter, all that matters is that they will try and try to enforce it

        What happened in the countries where they tried to stamp out insurgency? They ended up in rubble for the most part. That’s the scary part
