Not to mention no one ever remembers our enemies when they talk about civil war. This isn't the 1800s. China would be here in a heartbeat.

Everyone seems to believe that our enemies will sit idly by while we murder one another.

China would not be here in an instant. What, you think our navy just disappears the moment a civil war breaks out? China cannot get their troops to our shores. The best they could do is try to fund the communist side.

Not defeated. Annihilated.

Let's use the term "Marxist." They do. Communist is too exclusive, and difficult to pin down in this environment.

We really do have the best Anti Ship Missiles Folks! (Australia just put on a massive order with Uncle Sam, because we're not fucking around, and neither are they). Not just a Pep Rally(Although I'm often for it.) Our weapons range vastly exceeds theirs. BIG TROOP SHIP GO BLOOP! Any idea how big Naval Intelligence is??? We'll know they're loading ships, before they know they're loading ships.

Far be it for me to compliment the Swabbies, but as a Ground Pounder, my hat is off to The Lads riding the waves. Our Navy will FUCK CHINA'S LITTLE RED WAGON UP!

Have more confidence in what we've been working on for the past 2 Centuries. We came out as Top Dog after the Cold War. All that tech, all that spending, all those weapons systems, all the options that some of you have no idea even exist!

Gentlemen, and Ladies, Salute! To All Those Who Serve! And this one is for the US NAVY, and the US MARINES. They're Damned Salty! And you can bet your bottom dollar that they've got what it takes to obliterate any CHICOM threat on the High Seas.

Also: Please see this reference for Chinese Air Capabilities

It was more the point. So if our military has to go to war with China, Russia, and Middle Eastern guerrilla fighters, do you think that's good news while we all engage in civil war?

I thought not.

Don't presume to know what I think. You don't know me.

I expect the military to do its job and defend the Constitution as written. Hell, an invading force could prove to end the civil war quicker as there is a significant chance that both sides having a common enemy would unite the country faster.

So we should engage in civil war to bring us all together? Sounds like a steep and unnecessary path to follow.

No, I think I'll stick with violence as a last resort. Or at least wholesale violence, anyway.

They don't have the navy to do that, and this stupid point keeps getting brought up. You just want us to never fight back and to lose.

Oh yes, you caught me. I WANT to lose the culture war. Oh, yeah.

I'm so sorry, let me get out of the way so you can start murdering people.

Moron.

What you want is fairy tales. Fairy tales don't exist. Time to wake up and smell the roses. At this point in American society, there is but one solution to the Marxist Left.

Guess I'm just not jaded enough, yet.

What is the point of the Gadsden flag?

It means don't tread on me, not "let us murder each other because they're infringing on our rights!"

It means I won't let people here push me around because they want open war in the streets, just like I won't let Marxists push me around.

Dunno why you were getting downvotes, because you're right.

The instant we decay into massive civil unrest, the door is wide open for China to come marching in if we're too busy caught up in something domestic to pay much mind overseas.

Either that or they're going to use it as an opportunity to expand their influence further in our hemisphere than they already have.

Things like that only happen if we dawdle. If we finish it in one night our own military has no time to deploy, and we wind up with an intact military. THAT is what prevents foreigners from interfering.

I just don't see that happening. Guerrilla tactics are too easy to employ and too effective.
