When we discuss the future of American Civil War in Russia we usually drift towards images from own past with large scale clashes, mass civilian casualties and general terror. But I think it is indeed going to be a slow-boiling decentralisation resulting in a gradual loss of steerability and decline in civil rights required in order to restore some semblance of order. In the end America is going to become an agressive and dysfucntional police state suffering from a ever-present crisis of competence. What a loss. We could be great allies. Take care.
Not that I would advocate actually trying it, but I’d be curious to see how well you could actually train these guys to be a part of a modern military. We all saw the disaster that unfolded when trying to create an army out of Afghan citizens, would a disparate bunch of Central American migrants do better?
The Regime is fully on board with the notion of the "blank slate." We are all the same...the guiding hand of the state will magically turn 3rd world people into a fighting force equal to the 101st Airborne. Imagine their surprise when push comes to shove.
This is indeed a guiding belief. Plus growing evidence they actually believe we are interchangeable.
So if their game plan is New Americans taking over, they are in for a shock. The third world isn't dysfunctional because it is poor, it is poor because it is dysfunctional. That isn't fixable.
The highest form of flattery! Thieve all you wish 😜
I find rejection of inherent differences between peoples takes real effort. Most of the effort involves not mixing with other ethnicities of course, and viewing human society like you are Zeus looking down from Mount Olympias.
Who’s going to train them? The DIE non-coms? Good luck with that! Imagine a macho Central American male being yelled at by a female DI? How about a Middle Eastern male? Yeah, that’s going to go well!
My God! If you could just see the number of obese women holding NCO rank in the Army... one or two is simply mind-blowing, but it's become almost the norm. I witnessed this during all eight years when i worked on military bases around the world, most in actual combat zones like Afghanistan and Iraq.
I realize this is anecdotal, but having trained (back in the day) some of these 3rd world folks to a modern standard, maybe 5% were capable, and of those, they were mostly officers who are not likely part of the immavasion groups. No, the Bidet /0bama regime doesn’t care if these folks can be able to fight a peer 1st world force, only that they can fight and destroy lightly armed American citizens. That sadly, is what I think their ultimate objective is.
Well on the downside, the foreigners will be much more willing to shoot at us. On the upside, I think most of us will be much more willing to shoot back. I'm not too terribly worried about it to be honest. Without military discipline and coordination, or the freedom to bomb indiscriminately (after all, they need that infrastructure too in this case), I don't expect the fancy toys to add up to much.
The problem (for them) is that all of these DoA and PSP employees have families and if things go totally sideways, who is going to risk their life when their family could be at risk?
It's all about perception. They're on what is likely to be seen as the "winning" side. They have nearly unlimited resources to use while they're following orders. Choosing the other side means life on the run with whatever you can carry. Most of them already have authoritarian personalities, such a career naturally draws them, and some enjoy being part of the mafia.
I'm sure this is correct. Going back a couple of years, there were persistent stories that cops brutalising cronyvirus lockdown protesters in Germany and England were dissimilar from 'normal' cops. Reports from France and Ireland too. Now it might well be the case that fully equipped with quarterback padding and hot shot helmets, truncheons and shields, turns the mildest guy into a pumped , fearless brute, when backed by numerous peers. But plenty of people testified to the contrary. these guerilla type cops mostly have seemed to disappear lately: the beta test completed.
I saw that attempted transformation of Afghani people into a disciplined military up close and personal. It was a complete failure, and we knew it would be while doing so. I remember when we turned part of the base i was working at in Kunar province over to the Afghani army. Frightening.
You have to think about the proportions though. Given they'll be largely untrained vs. mostly untrained, you're talking about a "zerg rush" of maybe hundreds of thousands to millions nation-wide vs. 70+ million armed people on the other side. People who are already entrenched, trust each other, and know the territory. It's a less-than-ideal situation for them even with beforetimes capabilities, which is why the wargames they run always show them losing.
IMO that war-game was a psyop to lead us, by opposing the feds, to the slaughter. The right sadly often underestimates its nemeses only to get trounced; just because one has the best warriors and soldiers doesn't mean squat if your opponent has unlimited numbers and money, "the sinews of war". I'm fond of the lessons of the english civil war, where the nobles turned on each other, for lack of funds, while the roundhead-zergling -very untrained & untalented by the standards of the nobles, who could produce the likes of a Lord Ormond or a Prince Rupert -dominated in the end, via control over the cities, & the ports, no matter how many battles they lost at first.
TL;DR: their lack of training doesn't matter when they have a pool of manpower nearly 3x ours; they can afford to lose. (nor am I sure that, this arg. is invalidated by the existence of nukes, either)
It doesn't matter much if they can theoretically buy more mercs, it matters whether they can supply and coordinate them. And eventually even buying them becomes a problem. Printing money is well and good when someone else is willing to accept it as payment, but that's contingent on them assuming they can buy something with it later. The GAE is already on shaky ground there. How much more so when they're too busy fighting a civil war to maintain the hegemony? They're already doing a pretty shit job of that too.
The real multi-trillion dollar question is, if such a thing happened, would there be new elites ready to assume power, and would they suck less or more than the current ones.
There are no new elites waiting in the wings that I know of and expect the Five-Stars to take over as interim leaders. I also don’t expect any hot scenario to be over quickly. I expect decades of ultimate struggle.
Possibly retired military officers will. But not the goofy fuckers who are presently in charge. I wouldn't count on that though - like you said, decades.
The Feds have nigh-unlimited resources. 10k or more invaders flowing in every. single. day. Agents wired-up, armed, well-funded, trained, with every surveillance tool imaginable at their disposal, full backing of MSM and courts, on patrol and on the move in their districts at this very moment. Every place. Every where. Federal and State agents active right now. They've already got lists of identified dissident, whether legit or not they have them.
And yet it took them years to track down a handful of boomers who took an unauthorized guided tour of the capitol. They're incompetent, lazy clowns. That's not going to magically change when thing get "spicy." It's only going to get worse when the few remaining ones with integrity get pushed out as the regime's paranoia escalates.
The thing you should be worried about is not them winning, it's the total chaos that will ensue if nobody else can either. Which, the way things look right now, no one can.
Their agents are not so lazy. Promotions are on the line and repercussions for not executing orders bring financial consequences. Once the call goes out, they have to put the donuts down, for a while. Competency is largely irrelevant when dealing with state and federal agents, on the whole it's nearly a given that they're not. But they're empowered with vast resources and motivated by their own self-interests. Additionally, they've got administrative, legal and media backing. Then, they can return to Dunkin' until the next call.
No, you cannot turn a bunch of sub-100 IQ illiterate Somalis into a competent and cohesive fighting force. But you can use them to sow terror, chaos, and strife in a nation. As we've seen in Rwanda, South Africa and other places around the world you don't need marksmanship and small unit tactics to stack up massive body counts.
Not for nothing, but why do you think they started by filling the ranks with women and homosexuals 30 years ago? It was always going to lead to substituting foreign mercenaries for citizens because the objective was always to create a service that would not hesitate to turn its sights on Americans.
Historically, empires that hire mercenaries because their own people will no longer fight for them find themselves either ruled by the mercenaries themselves, or by the barbarians whom the mercenaries join because the Imperials treat them no better than they did their own people.
Think African and Central American migrants will make good, loyal troops for OUR bunch of sociopaths running things? Think again.
And thanks for the reminder that I need to get to the range.
Great article, what I fear as someone north of the border is that once Ottawa sees the collapse in the south, that they will resort to open Stalinism and shore up their power, by tapping the foreign men they have brought in. Truth is, they are united in Canada in contrast to the US, and the foreigners we've brought in are even more open in their hatred of us and their desire to purge us from our lands.
There is hope for you Americans I think, but there is none for Canada, and we are in for a bloody violent time. That said I only hope we get French or American intervention to back us up against the 'occupiers' shipped in.
It is precisely these kind of conditions that bring people together. As for the New Canadians, I know of whom you speak. All talk and no trousers. It is the Northern European mentality they lack, along with organizational ability and restraint, both needed to prosecute wars.
If the last election cycle was any indication everyone with a brain should be preparing for violence. They’ll cheat their way to a win again, but with more state sponsored civil unrest this time.
I've already seen "influencers" suggesting that these invaders be drafted into the military to "work for their citizenship". They don't see that allowing millions of low-IQ, non-English speaking, culturally alien people into the country will destroy what's left of our culture and civilization.
In London for the police to meet their diversity goals they are now considering black men with criminal records. What is that if not total insanity. A complete refusal to accept some cultural groups have very little urge to serve in the police or military. This is primarily a European trait, which is of course verboten to discuss.
I think most are completely oblivious to how the world works, and how civilized the West actually is. In many parts of the world a young woman cannot walk around freely without being molested. How many Western women are aware of this or why that is the case?
One thing I'd caution is some actual literal communists may be our friends in this. No not woke, DIE, DIE, DIE HR bitches, but actual serious men with a material class analysis with AKs, and Mosins in their closets who aren't going to put up with gun grabbing anymore than we will.
The left and right distinction has pretty much broken down and what you have now IMO is the neo-con and woke establishment which contains both "left" (woke) and "right" (neo-con) elements v.s. everyone else. IMO we need a popular front against the woke/neo-con establishment. Don't let the globalist assholes divide us with psedo-politics.
I am willing to hear the counter argument, but make it good, the hour is too late for bullshit.
Abbott to be assassinated by a "deranged civil servant" in 3,2,1....
The always lurking glowie is why open resistance to the feds is pointless imo (but who knows maybe the system really is in USSR style collapse-mode?).
It is fun however, when the feds proverbially "get what they deserve". (texas could simply raise the price of oil for leverage)
RE: outlawing "private militaries" the hypocrisy is next-level. Surely TPTB will count their own BLM, Antifa, gangland goons etc. who do their dirty work -not to mention their stasi-police -as "private militaries"? lol.
The only way for the disempowered is to live, work, and fight for themselves; if our masters want to keep an unlimited number of house-negroes their hypocritical dumb-assess shouldn't be surprised at mass revolts.
Philosophically, i agree with what Texas is doing at the moment. It is the right thing to do.
I don't think it will last, though. They'll capitulate in the courts because the weapons of Lawfare and sanctions available to Federal Gov't are virtually infinite. I don't see any way the Feds relent.
There are no legal or political remedies to fight tyranny. They make the rules, break them when they want, change them at-will and disregard the ones they don't like. The courts, prosecutors and agents are captured assets who will comply with their directives.
If somehow, Texas maintains its course, it can only lead to some sort of secession, as far as i can tell. Again, philosophically, i agree with such a decision. However, the rebellion would be put down and they'd be made an example for any future dissent. I think TPTB in TX realize this. They don't want to lose power. They'll capitulate.
I don't visualize any sort of organic movement that could endure a sustained Federal assault either (Waco?). I will admit there's a part of me who wants to see the action finally come to a head. I'm tired of fighting paper and bad ideologies. Folks need to hang. Even if TX were to lose a potential stand against "The Union" it might energize the dissent to action. But i don't want to dissenters with whom i entirely empathize become sacrificial lambs on the NWO grill pit.
Selecting the time and place for such a battle is very important. We need to be sure such factors are not chosen for us by the enemy. If that happens, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
I tend to agree, but the odds that the Supreme Court goes the right way on this in one way or another are non-zero. There is the fact that the Constitution explicitly states that FedGov SHALL protect each state from invasion. It's going to be hard to spin this.
Meanwhile, should the SC go the other way, Abbott always has the Napoleonic option, which is to say, "how many divisions does Chief Justice Roberts have?"
I don't think it will be a hard spin, if it makes it that far. TX would likely capitulate before then and there's also no guarantee that SCOTUS would take the case. Look at how they refused to see cases of voting fraud, with MOUNTAINS of evidence proving it.
True re: voting fraud cases, but things were very, VERY hot then, the incoming regime wsa intent that absolutely nothing upset their apple cart while they were seizing power, and cowardice won the day. My sense is that public opinion on this is very different.
From my experience the Commonwealth troops are the least competent, less the Gurkhas who are specifically selected for excellence. Fijians pretty decent also. Other dregs e.g. Afro-Caribbean et al frequently unmanageable and lazy.
- a bill that would ban “private military activity.”
They are going to define what private military activity is. As you said, Paintball could be considered team building, as could lasertag, and target shooting, or even playing Private citizen and corrupt police officers.
Good luck with that in Texas. Texas, by constitution, has a State Guard, that doesn't answer to the fedgov.
“The Border Patrol union confirmed to Fox News that agents were being blocked from entering by Texas soldiers, and praised Abbott for taking matters into his own hands.
"Governor Abbott is not harming Border Patrol operations, he is enhancing them," National Border Patrol Council Brandon Judd said in a statement. "His seizing control of Shelby Park allows our agents to deploy to troubled spots that experience high numbers of gotaways. Governor Abbott’s actions should be seen as a force multiplier."
The hope of a Soviet style slow decline in America run aground on the rocks of one simple fact: the Second Amendment. American citizens own more small arms than the rest of the world combined. Millions of guns, trillions of rounds and a culture of semi-legitimate disregard for ATF restrictions on "other weapons". Are we capable of some kind of concerted, grass roots resistance movement? Maybe, maybe not; but the fact is that some people will at least TRY, and authoritarian governments usually respond to resistance by bringing a hammer down. All well and good in Moscow or Paris where the average citizen doesn't have access to anything more dangerous than a cricket bat or kitchen knife, not so clean in a country with 46 million+ firearms. Guns aren't just an equalizer, they're an accelerant. Somebody will shoot back, the feds will go full Waco/Ruby Ridge and it will snowball from there.
When we discuss the future of American Civil War in Russia we usually drift towards images from own past with large scale clashes, mass civilian casualties and general terror. But I think it is indeed going to be a slow-boiling decentralisation resulting in a gradual loss of steerability and decline in civil rights required in order to restore some semblance of order. In the end America is going to become an agressive and dysfucntional police state suffering from a ever-present crisis of competence. What a loss. We could be great allies. Take care.
Sadly, already there.
It is going to be much, much worse, unfortunately.
I am truly ashamed to be American at this point. We will have to hit rock bottom before anything changes.
You don't have to. America is a great nation and even though there are bleak times ahead please stay true to yourself.
Oh yes we have to be. We allowed our country to be subverted and destroyed.
Not that I would advocate actually trying it, but I’d be curious to see how well you could actually train these guys to be a part of a modern military. We all saw the disaster that unfolded when trying to create an army out of Afghan citizens, would a disparate bunch of Central American migrants do better?

Who’s going to train them? The DIE non-coms? Good luck with that! Imagine a macho Central American male being yelled at by a female DI? How about a Middle Eastern male? Yeah, that’s going to go well!

"The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture conducted the search with the help of the Pennsylvania State Police."

just b/c they're zerglings doesn't mean they should be underestimated; zerg come in unlimited numbers and a zerg-rush can be a formidable thing.
You have to think about the proportions though.

Maybe. But not everything is 4d chess.
It doesn't matter much if they can theoretically buy more mercs, it matters whether they can supply and coordinate them. And eventually even buying them becomes a problem. Printing money is well and good when someone else is willing to accept it as payment, but that's contingent on them assuming they can buy something with it later. The GAE is already on shaky ground there. How much more so when they're too busy fighting a civil war to maintain the hegemony? They're already doing a pretty shit job of that too.
The real multi-trillion dollar question is, if such a thing happened, would there be new elites ready to assume power, and would they suck less or more than the current ones.
They already have a network. It's in place, and very active. Federal agencies and State police will facilitate.

The Feds have nigh-unlimited resources. 10k or more invaders flowing in every. single. day.

No, you cannot turn a bunch of sub-100 IQ illiterate Somalis into a competent and cohesive fighting force. But you can use them to sow terror, chaos, and strife in a nation.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Texas is fully in it's Right.
The 2nd amendment is two parts. State's Rights to form a Militia necessary for security, as well as the people to keep and bear Arms.
All of it created to stop Federal over reach.
I've already seen "influencers" suggesting that these invaders be drafted into the military to "work for their citizenship". They don't see that allowing millions of low-IQ, non-English speaking, culturally alien people into the country will destroy what's left of our culture and civilization.

Destroying our culture and civilization IS the goal.

I don't think it will be a hard spin, if it makes it that far. TX would likely capitulate before then and there's also no guarantee that SCOTUS would take the case. Look at how they refused to see cases of voting fraud, with MOUNTAINS of evidence proving it.
True re: voting fraud cases, but things were very, VERY hot then, the incoming regime wsa intent that absolutely nothing upset their apple cart while they were seizing power, and cowardice won the day. My sense is that public opinion on this is very different.
It was clear cheating on numerous levels. Easily verified.
In any case, no one really can say at this point.
However, i will hold the strong opinion that TX capitulates sooner or later.
From my experience the Commonwealth troops are the least competent, less the Gurkhas who are specifically selected for excellence. Fijians pretty decent also. Other dregs e.g. Afro-Caribbean et al frequently unmanageable and lazy.
Ask a guy that can’t count- how many tanks? See the bewildered look on his face.
- a bill that would ban “private military activity.”
They are going to define what private military activity is. As you said, Paintball could be considered team building, as could lasertag, and target shooting, or even playing Private citizen and corrupt police officers.
Good luck with that in Texas. Texas, by constitution, has a State Guard, that doesn't answer to the fedgov.
Correct on decentralization and DC collapse.
Further the Border Patrol supports - Texas.
“The Border Patrol union confirmed to Fox News that agents were being blocked from entering by Texas soldiers, and praised Abbott for taking matters into his own hands.
"Governor Abbott is not harming Border Patrol operations, he is enhancing them," National Border Patrol Council Brandon Judd said in a statement. "His seizing control of Shelby Park allows our agents to deploy to troubled spots that experience high numbers of gotaways. Governor Abbott’s actions should be seen as a force multiplier."

This isn’t secession, it’s dissolution of DC.
The hope of a Soviet style slow decline in America run aground on the rocks of one simple fact: the Second Amendment. American citizens own more small arms than the rest of the world combined. Millions of guns, trillions of rounds and a culture of semi-legitimate disregard for ATF restrictions on "other weapons". Are we capable of some kind of concerted, grass roots resistance movement? Maybe, maybe not; but the fact is that some people will at least TRY, and authoritarian governments usually respond to resistance by bringing a hammer down. All well and good in Moscow or Paris where the average citizen doesn't have access to anything more dangerous than a cricket bat or kitchen knife, not so clean in a country with 46 million+ firearms. Guns aren't just an equalizer, they're an accelerant. Somebody will shoot back, the feds will go full Waco/Ruby Ridge and it will snowball from there.
