This scenario already played out during the Arab Spring in 7 nations.
"I think that we're going to see acts of sabotage, assassinations, detonation of bombs, starting wildfires," Chang argued. "And the Biden administration is paying no attention to this at all."
We still have our guns. Those must be removed before there is even a remote chance of this playing out successfully.
That is false bravado, fren, and a pretty narrow view. The big difference between us and them would be their organization and training, coordination and logistical planning. Chinese military has been in Canada for over 5 years conducting military training. They are rehearsing.
And when the POTUS is on THEIR SIDE, we won't be getting help from him.
Odds are tens of thousands of Americans would die and our worlds would be turned upside down.
Honestly, I'm surprised this comment is getting so many down votes. u/Oh_Well_Ian is absolutely correct.
If/when attacks begin on US soil, even though we are very heavily armed, I agree that we will be taken by surprise. Then there will be the psychological block that will require US citizens to first acknowledge the attacks, the presence of the enemy within, AND THEN to finally take action to defend ourselves and our country.
That's going to be a huge psychological process even for those who are awake.
I believe, if internally attacked, we will come out swinging as our fighting spirit demands, but there will be a delay while the citizenry gets over the shock. That delay will be costly. But the costs will also be what spur us forward to fight.
And it'll be harder to fight back because we've had years of the media labelling every antagonist in an assault as a "white supremacist" - even when the person is Black or Hispanic. This would be more of the same.
I would also expect the DOJ/IRS to crack down on anyone who's made patriotic posts to nullify any potential response.
