Response to most common comments: 1. First I didn’t make any prediction who would win or lose. I simply pointed out the logistics. As one commenters said, “Amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics.” I’m only pointing the reality of logistics and likely outcomes of social chaos. And currently the US citizen is completely dependent upon the system, by huge margins, very few families self reliant, and you simply can’t fight if you aren’t self reliant. Period. Every insurgent force in history was self reliant or had supplies from foreign countries. 2. Second, the Taliban didn’t win. They only managed to kill 3,000 soldiers in 20 years. Pretty abysmal success rate if you want to call that a win. The Taliban had almost their entire population of military aged men wiped out by the Russians, and only killed 15,000 of them. They didn’t beat them, they just got slaughtered until the other team got tired of killing them and went home. And if you haven’t noticed the pattern, we like to leave our enemies our weapons so we have an excuse to come back and kill them again. Got to feed the military industrial complex on bullshit never ending wars. Its just what we do these days. 3. The Vietcong, was a standing army, with artillery and aircraft. They are in no way comparable to the US Citizen. They were also some of the hardest toughest people to fight in modern combat. In no way comparable to the 40% obesity rates of US Citizens. And again, they got slaughtered till we left. Almost 2 million Vietnamese people died while they only killed 50k of our soldiers. We didn’t win politically, but we didn’t lose the battles either. 4. The revolutionary war was a fight against a foreign invader with long supply lines. The Americans were food self reliant, well trained, hardened outsdoorsman. I totally agree Americans could easily repel any foreign invader. Thats different than modern civil war. During the revolution though, they had manufacturing capacity and vast wilderness to hide in. There is no wilderness anymore. And even if there was, any group that forms in mass is easily detectable by a whole host of surveillance tech. The revolutionary war is in no way comparable to any future conflict we are looking at. George Washington talked a lot about guerilla fighting, but he always came to the conclusion it was best for agitating the enemy and precise operations, but that you still needed standing armies and logistics to defeat other large armies. None of which exist or could exist with the current state of technology. Ukraine has taught us that. Any large groups that form up get bombed and annihilated. 5. The civil war is the closest comparison to what a current event might look like. But again, the southerners were food self reliant. Could manufacture what they needed to a degree. But still ultimately lost because they didn’t have the manufacturing capacity to sustain constant combat. Many people believe the red states outnumber the blue and surround them and while they do control the most territory. All manufacturing is in the city centers and controlled by corporations. 6. I’m not a liberal. I’m libertarian, You do you and I’ll do me and its none of my business if it doesn’t hurt someone else. Never been a cop, and only worked for the federal government when I served in the army. Just because someone doesn’t agree with you, doesn’t make them left or right. Or the opposite of you. 7. I’m not trying to sell fear or that there is no hope. Just that violence against our own people is the worst possible outcome and historically its shown time and time again, it leads to the demise of empires. Watch Ray Dalios videos, he will teach you the history. 8. Also no foreign country would come to help fighters. There is a massive ocean and massive US Navy to compete with. Our enemies wouldn’t be able to help revolutionaries even if they wanted too. And a deal with the devil is no deal at all. The hell with China and Russia. Americans only need each other. 9. And yes there are millions of combat veterans just like myself. Most of us are over 40 with a wife and kids,. Do you really think they are going to leave their family in the middle of crisis to go fight a war against their own government, especially with food shortages and social chaos. Every group that has organized in any capacity to take up arms against our government is now sitting in federal prison for 20 years or more. People like to talk about what they would do to their buddies to sound tough, but in the end, they will do whats best for them. Period. Does it mean we do nothing. Absolutely not. Use the system in place to get our rights back. It’s the whole reason we have a constitution, even if they trample on it regularly. We still have rights if people will stand up for them. I’m only saying that a peaceful solution is available and the optimal choice. 10. Organization is required for anything to happen, and the people most angry about the current state of affairs, have not organized in any meaningful way to change the status quo. So nothing will change until people get loud and organized. 11. Yes there are millions of foreigners crossing the border. You can call it an invasion if you want too. I didn’t address that at all, and don’t intend too. 12. Lastly, I’m not perfect and I can’t elaborate every view point in a youtube video, most of you don’t watch the whole video before commenting anyway. I try my best to cover the broad strokes in a short time, so more people will tune in. The point of this video was to get people thinking. Not sell fear or the idea that there is no hope. Just pointing out logistical realities for all the keyboard warriors that talk in the comments about how we need revolution. 13. Last point, get some training. Get some food self reliance. Have more babies. And stayed armed and prepared my friends. Hard times are coming. But the end isn’t nigh and things aren’t near as bad as the media makes it seem. The media is baiting people into division and infighting, for the purpose of their agendas. Stick together people. Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate all of you!
As soon as the C war starts, the US stock market and dollar crashes, the China yuan reigns supreme. They provide armaments to the opposition just like we do to Ukraine and Taiwan. Uncle Sam may win, but at a cost of the empire.
The problem is that you risk your children's lives, should you get into war on the home front. That's why so few in the colonies participated for or against the Kingdom. You have to be OK with that risk, unfortunately, majority aren't. Thus, we all get to enjoy the fall until there's no more ability to be lazy about this. By then, it may be too late.
Democrats push the "Threat to democracy" when we are not a democracy. Those who seek power love the idea of democracy because they can manipulate the useful idiots into giving them more power. Just ask any North Korean defector. Shoot! Just ask anyone who has ever lived under the hand of a tyrant. They always talk about democracy. The U.S. is a Constitutional Republic which means the minority is protected from the majority. You have rights that can not be taken by a majority rule system. A true democracy is nothing but a mob rule.
Because a democracy is without a constitution which is socialism. People hear democracy and think voting. Which in a democracy the majority rules without individual rights.
@@rogerbarnstead7194 Democracies always fail, that’s why the Founders wanted us to be a Constitutional Republic. Democracy is more of a term for order or fairness under the law and the distribution of Democracy refers to helping maintain and distribute fair law and order; Democracy was never supposed to be a term for our own form of Government because like I said Democracies have always been known to fail throughout History.
Interesting question asked at a Trump rally recently: "Which would you rather have, 4 years of Biden as president or Donald Trump as dictator", and 100% of those asked said they would prefer to have Trump as dictator. Do you think this is the feeling of a majority of Americans and especially republicans?
@@tbren9341 We don't live in a Biden dictatorship and I ain't votin' for Biden. Biden is just another crooked politician. Trump, who now hates country singers and football players has already said that he wants to be a dictator for at least one day. I keep stocking up on ammo for fear of the coming Trump dictatorship. And now the republicans are waging a holy war against Taylor Swift and her boyfriend. Pretty chicken shit don't you think?
You can be left alone. Go to Alaska and live in the wilderness. Tell no one where you've gone. No one will come looking for you to pay taxes. No one will come for your guns. No one will give a damn about you. Is that what you mean by, "left alone and self sufficient"? If you want to exist in society with everyone else, we need a set of rules to live by. That's what we have today, an elected government that establishes these rules. If you don't like the rules, vote and put someone in office who will make the rules you want. But, don't bellyache about the result if your candidate doesn't win. Don't make up bull about unfair elections, or "deep state", etc. Grow up and act like an adult. Talking about a "revolution" is simply nonsense. Most of us have good lives and we typically try to help those who don't. Ranting about "revolution" is not only silly, but very counter productive. We are not going to tear down our civilization, because someone doesn't like the election results. Go find something useful to participate in.
You don't fight F-15s and Bradley fighting vehicles with ar15s, you fight the supply and support system that keeps them running. Edit: this comment thread gives me hope for the future.
Not only that, but who’s protecting the family of the people operating these pieces of military equipment? It’s easy to go to war in a foreign country when your loved ones are safe at home. It’s a little harder to go to war in your backyard.
@@LifeConsistsOfWildness Exactly; on top of that, think about how small a country like Vietnam is and how many troops we had there at the height and we still couldn't subdue them. Think about the troop density, or the lack thereof, in the Continental US.
Lol,we were invaded long ago. The enemy now holds positions in our political system,courts and law enforcement. What your seeing at the southern border is the bi product of that.
Since the US Government is in violation of the Constitution in regards to repelling Invasion. I would have to say that the Government is invalid. We are on our own, the reorganization of the country will occur once the DoD mercenaries find their paycheck has no value.
@@caynine29What’s he going to do ? Stand with his gun on the border and get arrested by the border force who are under orders from government to facilitate your replacement?
@@nickdial8528 Yeah, I thought that was a super smooth brain take. You don't go up against the armor column. You go around it and take out their comms, their on-base gas tanks, their munitions, etc. This isn't even new. Sun Tzu wrote all about this stuff. Attack the weakest point to get the most supplies, and you can't "get" those supplies, you destroy them. With millions of people, encircling and overwhelming all the weak points in a "perimeter" isn't that hard. It takes someone with an IQ above 90. Shoot, if anyone's ever played Star Craft, they could probably pull it off. The hardest part, is organizing people. We have a very me me me type culture, and that makes it difficult to command organized, quiet movements.

Insurgency pretty much has a 100% success rate, in the long game. Army’s are pretty much fighting the civilian population which way outnumbers the uniformed military.
@@sigma3survivalschool Soviets gave up against mujaahideen. US gave up against the Vietcong, Taliban/local insurgents, Iraqi insurgents. Pretty much every French Revolution. Irish repelled against and won against England. Iranian revolution. Gaddafi in Libya. CCP overthrew the Chinese Dynasty. Russian Czar conquered by Soviets. Could go on an on. Point is, is that none of the invaders are currently in power of that territory or claimed power for any good amount of time and the civil wars/revolutionaries had a pretty high success rate. Either way, insurgency works. Military kills one insurgent which creates 10 more.
@@OccupyByForcethose insurgents you are talking about knew what war was, they lived it. People here in the United States freak out and get in the fetal position if their phone goes down. Very few of us are actually mentally and physically prepared for any sort of confrontation or conflict.
Look what happened in Mogadishu. A small military operation that was supposed to take a an hour ended up last a day and fighting the citizens of the war lord controlled city, forcing the US out of the city.
EMP taking the grid down would absolutely change this entire conversation, I don't believe that we would be able to hold it together as a Country and then add in the illegals of military age that are now in this Country, can some one say Trojan horse.
2/3 of the population would die in an EMP or CME event within a year. A huge portion of the US population don't even know what the US Constitution is for or how it works.
I do so wish, that people would understand that we are being divided in every possible way. This is being done on purpose. Every comment made on social media is met with a bitter response, rather than sensible conversation.
My secondary in the army was logistics when I was on my Division G-4 staff as assistant Plans and Operations Officer. This guy is by and large correct, however I do find he’s a bit simplistic. Number one rule of an insurgency is LIVE OFF THE ENEMY. Number two is the tried and true doctrine of TRADE UP: If I have a KNIFE, I can GET a handgun. If I have a handgun, I can GET an assault rifle (a REAL assault rifle). If I have a real assault rifle I can GET damn near any piece of equipment I want. Including artillery or armor because those crews have to crap sometime. Also, yeah an AR15 won’t stop a Bradley Fighting Vehicle… BUT judicious use of commonly available BARBED WIRE can easily stop a Bradley and even an Abrams tank. I left the army as a tanker 03. I was a branch transfer from infantry in the reserves.
Only so much I can put in a RU-vid video. And while I agree about insurgent tactics. You can’t trade up much because all heavy equipment require a massive logistical chain to support. None of which citizens could support. Look at Ukraine. Best force we’ve seen in a long time. And they have the full support of all western nations logistically. And they can’t move the Russians an inch. And when we stop supporting them the nation will fall. None of that support would be available in a civil war. Not to mention nobody is good self reliant.
Without tax payer dollars the feds couldn't do a datgum thing, those big billion dollar military budget bills they spend every year would disappear. Those spending bills go quick... Now, all of that coupled with the decline of the dollar and the fact that the U.S Empire has waaay over extended it's military logistics across the world and is not willing to sacrifice it's territorial control abroad to deal with anything at home. Americans hold the power.
@@sigma3survivalschoolwell, if we can’t have, they can’t either. Insurgencies work. And the toll it’ll take on their own wallets while killing a significant portion of the population that once filled those wallets is going to catch up with them eventually.
@@sigma3survivalschool That logistical weakness is a double edged sword. All that heavy hardware requires lots of logistics to support. Very hard to have that support when everyone is possible hostile. Sabotage, etc.. would take a heavy toll on that supply chain. All those F16's, Abrams, Bradleys etc. are pretty useless without fuel. Especially the Abrams which are gas guzzlers extraordinaire. Supply lines are a fragile thing, look at WWII Germany and any other country that lost when their supply line was cut off. In a theoretical CWII they wouldn't need to trade up just render the enemy weapons useless by interrupting the supply lines.
It seems like every single video he makes talking about this, he basically says it would be impossible and nobody stands a chance when history is full of examples.
@@davidowens1424 You wouldn't have to do anything with nuclear subs. what does a nuclear subs have to do with an inland Civil War on the North American continent taking place? You're not going to use nukes on your own homeland where you live among the population.
There is hope. But we might be kind of fucked lol 😂 so get some survival skills. At least you’ll be eating well and staying warm while idiots fight over politics
Logistics,we already are the logistics. Communications,there’s a lot of us that can physically reroute that and tap into it and completely bypass it in ways most have never thought of. Weapons,we make those along with the ammunition just change out whoever imagines themselves to be in charge. Food,farmers and ranchers by and large loath the way things are now. There’s so many things the alphabet soup has never considered that can and will bite them and bite hard. They lose no matter how much they try to convince themselves otherwise. Never forget we are indeed a nation of thieves and pirates. Why fight a thing when you can steal it?
Look at the voting maps by county and that will tell you who wins a "civil conflict." One side controls the food, the majority of the water, and most of the power infrastructure. Winning such a conflict has little to do with actual fighting. Understanding where the demographics of the "Blue Authoritarian" power base is, and how to snuff them out is what really matters (and it's pretty rudimentary). Whole cities could be removed from the chess board by very few people and minimal amounts of arms, in a fashion that was very targeted and left the "Red" counties and regions virtually unaffected. Furthermore, the infrastructure supporting those cities is typically widespread and virtually indefensible.
It appears that the vast majority of the military aged males coming across our southern border are being sent to the big blue cities: possibly as reinforcements/cannon fodder/boots on the ground to hold those cities for the Democrats during a civil war?
You thinking in terms of blue and red is part of the problem, and why these goons are robbing you blind, while poisoning your family, and erecting a control network capable of keeping you, your kids, and your kids kids in that situation indefinitely.
If the 'red' people don't take accountability for their own shitty "elected" leaders that have done jack shit for 60 years on issues like immigration, then you'll rapidly be back where you were. They're all crooks.
I followed that situation very closely. From the very beginning to the court case. The Bundys were in the right. And the more the court case went on, the more it exposed the government and the corruption from the likes of Dan love(fbi agent) and the local sheriff and so on. Even the judge in that case very early on showed extreme biased against the Bundys
The bottom line is do we want to live on our knees or die on our feet. Will we be happy living with just a little freedom. Sometimes the tree of liberty has to be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants. I agree with a lot of what you have said however I do not believe every one in the military and law enforcement will just simply fall in line.
If you believe it will become tribal/racial, then you can understand how the government , institutions, military and police forces will disintegrate. There effectiveness depend on a chain of command and continuity of steps. You only have to remove a couple of pieces to completely shut the whole thing down.
@@BigTomInTheBasement problem, is: if you pull down the establishment because they are corrupt and don't follow the constitution, then you are not left with a constitutional system, you are left with one based upon force. you can tar and feather them if you like, but why would some other group not just do the same to your tribe later? if you break the rules because the others are also breaking the rules, you don't restore the rules, you end up with no rules.
@@theoverunderthinker if they aren't following the US Constitution and they took the oath to, my oath compels me to action. Violence isn't always necessary, but if it is, then one can follow the guidance of the declaration of independence. It's a matter of freedom vs slavery. My ancestors were enslaved for 400 years in their own country. I don't intend to allow such a thing for my descendants.
The Vietnam war needs to be studied more as the jungle fighter did a lot of damage to a major superpower. Another component not mentioned by anyone is what other countries will do in an American civil war. As in our first civil war, the European powers were drooling at the prospect of picking up the pieces. I’m with you on this. I don’t want a civil war. I like my warm showers and hot meals.
"Democracy" means "rule of the people;" it doesn't necessarily mean a pure/direct democracy, which historically has been quite rare. When the term "democracy" is usually used in my experience, it's just being used to differentiate the relatively free countries of the world from the unfree ones. There are several different kinds of governments that fall under the heading of "democracy"; Constitutional Democratic Republics like ours are one example, but there are many others. In theory England is still a Constitutional Monarchy, but in practice it operates as a very democratic county with institutions of power that in practice are very similar to ours ("Bicameral legislature," which just means two branches of the governing body that writes laws), Supreme Court, executive officer pretty similar to the American President, etc. Opposite side of the coin is countries that call themselves Republics but aren't. China calls itself a Republic ("People's Republic of China") but very few would agree that they're among the freer countries of the world.
@@armedinak9095 I'm not trying to insult you, I'm just trying to present the facts. I double checked to be sure; I am using the terminology correctly and there's even a John Adams quote to go with it. John Adams (writing in 1784): No determinations are carried, it is true, in a simple or representative democracy, but by consent of the majority or their representatives.
@@armedinak9095 The words "separation of church and state" are also not in the Construction or Declaration of Independence but undeniably this was an important concept to the Founding Fathers they tried hard to set up with thing like the First Amendment.
I have a different take on the food plant issue.Great video by the way.Liking and subscribing. My father ran a food processing plant from the early 80s till the early 90s before getting sidelined/replaced/outsourced. One year later that plant burned to the ground. My father was never home.He would be at work running that plant.He was a vested and invested employee.He cared and he wasn't letting things like janitors smoking in the box room happen. Dad wasn't there and well no one was there to really care. People don't really care anymore as they are not well payed or taken care of by employers. A vested employee is worth 10 temps....atleast.
FACTS! I Currently manage a large food distribution center that ships out to multiple states. Were in charge of supplying these grocery stores. I could tell. Ones of us who truly care anymore. Are just a handful out the entire building. Alot of our heavy equiment even. Is contantly breaking down. Stuck in the shop multiples of weeks to months on some. The maintainence personell are now constantly rotating. Logistics got bidded out to another company in which they honestly seem like a bunch of cons and the delivery service is not the same either.
We patriotic Americans will not comply with any infringements to our constitution. If the government cannot support our constitution there's no need for American citizens to support the government. A want to be dictator can start a conflict.
As I get older, I think about these things a lot, wondering what we are leaving for our children. Not sure about LE, I've got mixed feelings on this. Sometimes I think we would be Fd, that they would roll over us but other times I am not so sure. I sure hope we never have to see this but I play these scenarios in my mind as well. Look how many towns were brought to their knees during things like the Rodney King riots or George Floyd and those weren't even the ones we would consider "well armed". The good citizens held back. I've worked in LE and still have both friends and family that are LEOs. If push came to shove and the gloves came off AND if the typical family knew someone that was injured or killed by "authorities" I think it would devolve quickly and most places, especially places with smaller forces would not be safe for LE and/or they would join the people or be decimated. Once things become 'tit for tat' like you see on other countries like Israel and Palestine, it would come to life on its own and LE would probably have to fall in line with the will of the people whatever that may be in the area, ranging from regional theocracies to ethnic warlords. Mil on the other hand is harder to predict. Would state guards fragment away from federal forces? Would other countries step up to try to save the States or simply invade in our moment of weakness? In my opinion there are already forces from WITHIN weakening The Republic. With the Woke military that can no longer recruit, this looks like an orchestrated Op to me. Many younger people, children of heartland Patriots, see the face of 'Rachel Levine' when they think of our military. I don't believe for a minute that this wasn't done on purpose. With a weakend military, culture war underway and states that can look longer see eye to eye, it seems like balkanization may be the best we can hope for. Interesting times for sure.
You know I feel the same ,what is there to leave for our children nothing the super greedy destroy the world. They did not help the country like the first generation of wealthy people did .when we had our manufacturing jobs .it was a way to service and build a community.they had to outsource it to other countries so the could make that much more money.for what now the country is dieing because of their greed they sold out our ancestors that created America.when they moved all the jobs to countries for cheap slave labor. And told all of us to get Lost it's all the old 80 yr old mother F*******. That fucked us . Making apps to destroy our minds and children's. I cant see it any othernway .it was all done intentionally.everything going on in this country to day is a plan they have crafted yrs ago the wrench in the system is TRUMP.and look what they are doing tomjim it is plane as day after everything we have seen. We are fucked.
Hold back until the innocent people are attacked, and start protecting your Community, our Community is all about protecting each other and we will if we have too but we are not going out looking for a fight we will wait for it to come to us.
We would roll over the government in 3 days if we finally got pissed off enough to USE force. It's us as a nation that holds each other back, and gets us to enforce each other on behalf of the government. Hence why 4 generations have been cucked/cunted by communism.
As far as LE goes , they are under attack themselves. They have been portrayed as white supremist , ie the George Floyd false flag . Most likely they will be replaced just like our military has gone through changes . Now Senator Dick Durban has called for the immigrants to join the military and police forces .
The second you claim that the woke is the issue. You've lost. There's a reason "Project 2025" is out in the open. It's because your side is too stupid to realize that they're showing you that they plan to implement authoritarianism, but you are fine with it because it's "your" authoritarianism.
I think for those of us who did serve especially those of us that served in combat roles like infantry Army or Marines are aware of the logistical problems But I take into account that it's likely assuming government did something so agregist to pop off a civil conflict that there's the possibility that they will not have complete control of the entire military at least not for the intire duration and that many of those weapons platforms would find there way into resistance hands And even if it's a loosing proposition it really doesn't matter because sworn oaths were made dieing fighting to preserve our freedoms is preferable then rolling over and becoming prisoners or slaves
Actually your sworn oath includes the part where you; will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.." I remember all of it well, not just the parts that feel good now, and i hope you do too. The determination of what constitutes a lawful order, who is an enemy, etc. is given to us by the UCMJ or from the lawful chain of command. Those determinations are NOT made by whiners who are unhappy they lost an election, or when the right to possess a firearm gets well-regulated, or when they lose the right to own other humans. However the law of the land is clear on insurrection. There are three kinds of actors in this modern revolution farce of the ignorant; those who vote for change (citizens), those try to cheat by buying change (the super rich) and traitors. Perhaps i could include the foreign provoceurs who post in the comments, who are paid to make you feel validated in order to undermined the regular and peaceful transition of power. Know them by their fruits.
That, and the fact that everyone who has served knows, If this goes down, the only military people that will be left are the goobers and idiots that can't be bothered to give 100% to anything. Plus, everyone who left the military knows exactly how you do business and could disrupt ops in a big way.

I would say, I trust individual people in the military. But I don’t trust the military itself. In case people don’t think they wouldn’t turn on the people, reminder that during the American civil war, when the New York draft riots were going on, union troops fresh from Gettysburg were sent there to crush the riot, they even had warships nearby fire their guns into the city. A lot of people died. So yes, if ordered, there is very likely to be a large force of the military who would do that.

All vets know how to go into the bases they have been at where everything is and how to use it. The Military is screwed if you stop the trains and semi-trucks that supply every one of them. Most bases' Water electricity and natural gas are from civilian sources and can be cut off by almost anyone with half a brain, The same goes with every government office /agency federal and state alike, even their comms towers can be turned off with little trouble by the common man. And the Banking system and wall street their whole damn power base and financial systems can be shut down in a few days by the common man. no power no fuel no water no paychecks and little to no food and very few of them can even talk to each other, So who is going to out last who.
@@christianstadler6099 Every base I have been at had on-base housing many officers and NCO's families are on the Base so they are stuck there protecting their own,. It is easy to cut power water natural gas take out train locomotives and railroad lines going into the bases and stop all semi-trucks that resupply the bases. that leaves them one option to resupply and that is by Air. And those Aircraft have to land sometimes and they do not have enough fuel at the Air Bases to fly very far. And they get fuel from the civilian depots and refineries just like everyone. So i do not see any Government personnel military or civilian holding out very long against the people. who builds the computer chips/ brains in every missile smart bomb NVG Thermal device everything the US.

The entire point of an insurgency isn't to send your enemies running and screaming for the hills; it is to outlast them and make your enemy come to the conclusion that the fight just isn't worth it anymore. As far as weapons, ammo, and food; even in the worst conditions, there are always places to buy food, and if necessary, steal ammo and weapons; both the Taliban, and Viet-Cong had the support of the local population which allowed them to strike their enemy, hide, rest, refit and resupply themselves for the next fight. This guy talks as if everything shuts down and nothing will be available, which isn't the case. I cannot think of one example where some sort of society/business wasn't functioning even during the worst of times. This is just more scare porn to promote a business. Guys, listen up; take care of yourselves, prepare the best you can and live your life.
@@user-gz5un4jp9v yes, actually you can; it's amazing how people come together in the worse of times, especially when we know we're all getting screwed by the same people. Some of us will be able to fight; others will only be able to provide a warm bed to sleep in and a meal, and still others will be able to hide us out for a few days. It's literally how an insurgency works. Everyone can provide something and nothing is insignificant. The entire point is to keep the fight going.
Vietcong did not shoot down B-52's during Operation Linebacker II; the North Vietnamese Army did. Additionally, both of the parties mentioned had heavy political, military and monetary support that allowed them to churn out well-trained soldiers, and had supply lines running in politically grey "uninvolved" countries where friendly forces were allowed to move largely unimpeded. People need to get the "dirt farmer with an AK" image out of their heads and get more of a "dirt farmer conscripted by a popular political party, sent to China for a couple months and put in a professional army with MiG-21's, S-75's and counterbattery radars" image instead.
During the Revolutionary war there were many loyalist to the Crown in the colonies. I agree about the long logistic ocean routs a vast wilderness with natural supplies and the limitations of the weaponry of the time put the British at some disadvantage. However Washington lost most of his battles and if it wasn’t for divine providence we might have stayed subjects of the Crown a lot longer if not be just like Canada today.
@@freddyferret2313and contrary to then I don’t think a world power is gonna wanna help us considering both sides of conflict will have their own agenda on one side you got the WEF and on the other you got the Bricks nations were the ones in the middle
Many modern people fail to mention that the American insurrection aka revolution was a smaller campaign with the context of a much larger European war. Most of the British Army were fighting in Europe not in America against the French Army. Had Britain have deployed 100% of their Army in the US, then the insurrection would have failed and America would be part of Canada today.
If you haven’t already, check out “one second after”. Great book, food for thought. It’s about an emp attack, not civil war... but the results would be similar in many ways. Thank you for the video. Hopefully folks will realign their priorities a bit. No rational person wants war, but if it’s foisted upon us? I agree, freedom will be hard fought.
I work in basically a grain mill. Back in December one of our leg belt motors caught fire close to the ceiling. We had to climb fast up a ladder with fire extinguishers . We put that fire out quick enough fortunately. If we didn't we definitely would have had an explosion from all the grain dust
The problem is that the system is at least as dependent on infrastructure and logistics as any given insurgent group would be, possibly more. The system has an obligation to preserve law and order so they can maintain legitimacy. They also have far more visibility in terms of their operations and resources. Compound that with the fact that a lot of the people they'd be suppressing know their doctrine intimately as veterans, and you have a completely different landscape than any of the examples of insurgency you brought up. One of the reasons the US tried to use economic means to cripple Russia is that the standard Anglo-American method of Naval warfare is unusable against a country with a massive "heartland." That aptly summarizes "flyover" country in the US where anti-system sentiment is most extreme. This requires ground occupation and resupply, which is far more complex and vulnerable. Additionally, morale in the military would suffer greatly. The notion of combating citizens does not appeal to most of the best and brightest in the military. Resistance to mandatory vaccination is a good proxy for this. I forget where I saw the numbers, but over 30% of the military were morally opposed to the vaccine mandate. This was highly concentrated in combat arms. Desertion rates, if not turncoat rates, would be extreme and with many likely sabotaging equipment irreparably on their way out. Crippling vulnerable supply lines would also lead to rock-bottom morale as SMs are on an MMM meal schedule or not fed at all and ammunition and water isn't reliably delivered. This would force the system to reduce vast amounts of spearpoint units to guarding their supply lines to reinforce other spearpoint units and effectively grind any and all operational capability to a halt. Generalized lawlessness would also come into play. If insurgents sabotaged power grids, water lines, and other things in cities, you'd have rioting and looting nationwide. Military and law enforcement would be required to maintain law and order in these areas rather than go hunting for insurgents. The critical infrastructure that keeps cities from falling into concrete wastelands is relatively simple to break and difficult to repair and maintain. The majority of the energy of the system would be spent on maintaining martial law in areas where the insurgency isn't even operating. Again, much of military logistics would be funneled into cities to keep the population and the units imposing law and order fed and supplied. Imagine the equivalent of hurricane Katrina in a half dozen or more major US cities, and you'd have a good idea of the operational complexity plaguing the system. Finally, foreign powers will come into play. The US regularly takes advantage of instability around the globe (often times instability they instigated) to usher in favorable regime change by supporting insurgent or dissident groups vying for control over foreign governments. It's downright naïve to think other national powers wouldn't do the same. It's not a stretch to imagine that Russia would lend materiel and intelligence support to insurgents in the hopes that they'd establish a less bellicose and more isolationist government and that the years it takes to establish a functional government would allow them a major advantage in global economic and diplomatic control. Finally, the primary enemy of the system is the clock. The longer any insurgency persists, the less legitimate they are and the more vulnerable they are. They can only burn through PrePo and their warehouses for a fixed amount of time. The amount of debt the US incurred occupying Iraq and Afghanistan was massive and took the full weight of the US economy. Now apply that to territory the size of the US and factor in that the economy would be crippled and you have a very finite amount of time for the system to regain full control and return to normalcy. And even if they do manage to wrest control after a few weeks, they'll be far more vulnerable to another insurgency. The reason for the overreaction over J6 was to psychologically cement the costs of revolt so overwhelmingly in the minds of the dissident populace that they would not view resistance as an option. The only way for the system to maintain itself is to prevent any and all insurgencies from occurring in the first place. It's a zero-sum game for them, and one that they're not well-equipped to win once it's started.
you know any building has enough fuel for a week if you knock out the electrical grid you can wait it out for a week maybe two and they no longer have electricity and become blind as a bat.
j6 was not even close to insurrection. The plan for insurrection would be to destroy infrastructure and cripple the USA take out bridges power grids natural and lpg gas areas and fuel depots snd railroads that is what true insurgency is all about!!!
I know a guy who is an M1A3 Abrams Battle Tank Mechanic. He said that Tanks and planes run off Jet fuel and without roads or sand. They would get stuck…..often. Also……. Parts supply would be provided by rail. Which is neigh impossible to protect.
As an American-loving patriot, I have to say that you're correct. It absolutely is the internal powers of division that spell our downfall. If only the opposing side wasn't so hell bent on allowing millions of foreign invaders into our wide-open southern border, chopping children's genitals and breasts up and fomenting racial division like we haven't seen since pre-WWII, I could conceivably agree with them on some things. Thanks for the level-headed information and advice.
... and yet China is still refusing to airdrop us pallets of money and AK-47s. If nothing else, that shows they're far less powerful than the US. The CIA would be all over this shit if it was happening in the homeland of a foreign power.
24:42 "Probability of a foreign invasion is almost none..." Have you looked at the border lately? It's mostly unarmed military aged males. Sorry that flew over his head.
@@blackonblack...9244 You're absolutely correct, but once the foreign invaders are inside our country, I look at it as division from within. Staying vigilant, staying locked & loaded, your's truly, Captain Fantastic

You know, I'm almost wondering if he's some sort of paid opposition, fronting as a survival patriotic content creator but yet spreads this message that there's no hope and any sort of resistance is futile, because basically that seems to be his message in every video.
Something left out of this discussion is an evaluation of the large number of military age men illegally entering the country's southern border. While there is a senator advocating incorporating them into our military, if they manifest into a source of internal conflict it will inject several other dynamics. For instance, would the government choose to resist or condone them? And if they do follow through with enlisting them, would they then be used against our population?
They are the ones that the government will use to fight us back when we revolt against them knowimg most police and military will not fight their own people and kinfolk,Unfortunately for them it will not matter because patriots fighting for their family's , homes and future, will fight more fierce than any hired henchmen.
Great video, brought up solid points and conclusions of why we should stand united as a country. Our politics are the cancer here and all politicians should have term limits. Being food self sufficient is probably the #1 thing we should all start thinking about. Again I really enjoyed this video.
I enjoy the videos but not really sure of the purpose because it's on the gloomy side. Taking a Bradley with an AR-15 is hilarious. Digging a deep hole for it to fall in... Well then, I think that's an entirely different approach. The logistical chain to support one Abrams is enormous and they get stuck all the time. If the video is to instill fear and hopelessness then ok. If there's wisdom to be gained about how to overcome and move forward, then that's truly valuable. But I can tune into any other channel for doom and gloom. Just sharing my honesty with yours. Thank you for the mind-stir though. Just really curious how you and your production staff are wired. Seems like it's the type of get back in line and do what we're told. And btw I do have knowledge of DoD.
Retired military and what you say is true. As for large scale logistics, that's a smoke and mirrors comment. We wont need that because most of us would be in small groups of 20 to 50 people. For all the logistics needed we could raid their convoys or warehouses. If you cut off or impede the logistics to any large city it will collapse into anarchy in days. Same goes for military installations. They can survive for a little while, but without a specific target all that weaponry is useless. I really don't see the "woke" military of today wanting to fight for this country.
@10:35 Times the US National Guard killed US citizens: Kent State Massacre, The Great Railroad Strike, Bay View Massacre, Morewood Massacre, Pullman Strike, Lattimer Massacre, Chicago Teamsters’ Strike, Paint Creek-Cabin Creek Strike, Ludlow Massacre, The Battle Of Blair Mountain, Memorial Day Massacre.
I think everyone should be growing as much food as they can. Imagine if everyone grew different stuff and we all shared. Things could be so different. Your videos are amazing man. I really love your logic and reason here. You paint a very realistic picture I think most overlook. Cheers.
Have you not noticed what has been taking place in our skies we the people have been under attack by NATO, the WEF and our own government for decades. From all the crap they have been spraying us with the soil and water is so contaminated with toxic metals mainly aluminum that anything you grow is riddled with disease! Everyone quit paying attention to the sky because they couldn't get their head out of their GD phone!
Yea imagine the freedom of a nation comprised of many combat ready gardener carpenters, proficient in growing, building, and defending what you've grown and built. You can even remain a productive member of more specialized industries, while doing all those things. I've made great strides in the human-scaled low-input food production and resourceful carpentry spheres, needing to work on the combat readiness component.
Amazing insights, Sigma III! Very eye opening. Civilization really has it made in these last 250-500 years or more, and we need to hold it together. Hold the line! We do not need to devolve or it’s going to be tough to survive a Reset, if not impossible. 😮society really does hang by a thread, when you get down to the meat of it.
It's all about the long game. We pulled out of Vietnam without success. We pulled out of Afghanistan without success. When the fight is at home, there's nowhere to pull out to. What makes the U.S. military so powerful abroad is the citizens at home. When you turn on your own supply chain you'll ultimately fail if your opponents stay in the fight to the very end.
Stock up for at least 5yrs provisions, cut caloric intake buy one half, and hibernate until the breech hits the fan/big thanks to my sgt. for a start to a cool game plan
The one thing i rarely hear civil war conversations talking about is how much of the military would defect? Id be curious if whole bases would defect. Idk
@@anthonyg.4761 yeah, but all the people I served with from red states were very proud of their states. I can't see them abandoning their families like that without the news being suppressed from them.
I think another angle worth looking into is the response from the international community. Other countries supporting, or even out right playing a part, in Civil Wars. Historically, there have been outside backers of the rebels, outside backers of the government forces, as well as some instances where other countries will back both sides of a Civil War. Wonder how that would apply to a Second Civil War in the US?
It is likely that a black swan event (asteroid, mass corona ejection) could set off an internal conflict as groups compete for resources. Never let a crisis go to waste, indeed.
I do appreciate your work and this subject. The one thing you and others miss almost every time is, almost 100% of the men and women that would participate in such an event believe we have a Constitutional Republic! No one wants to install a new or different Government! I'm not sure why thats missed so often. The biggest in the open "insurrection" happened in our last two election cycles as well as the Senator election in Virginia.
I’d also like to note, that if those would-be dictators weren’t concerned with small arms, they wouldn’t be expending so much energy on trying to ban them. This video made it seem like small arms wont make a difference.
@@hardlylivin6602 Totally agree. An individual with a gun poses next to zero threat. Millions of people with millions of guns and tens of millions of rounds pose a huge threat. As you so perfectly said, they wouldn't try and ban something (and expend that much energy in doing so) if it "didn't matter". The gun is the great equalizer and nothing else* that has been invented since the semi-automatic firearm levels the playing field as much. *Physically that is, the internet and modern communications are the other big ones - the ability to near *INSTANTLY* spread a bit of info, globally
Also consider foreign military invited in by the ruling party to help quell any resistance to the tyrannical party or power. So yes, for example Chinese soldiers as peace keepers to enforce compliance.
It becomes at test of commitment. Usually the larger opponent, if unable to eliminate the insurgency, will become weary of dealing with the issues caused and will eventually settle.@@sigma3survivalschool

Exactly, this video and others he's done are total nonsense. it's completely ridiculous. Much of what he claims can be totally debunked, secondly his claim there's no examples of successful insurgencies is complete and utter nonsense history is full of them. He sounds like a fed
Belief in a system and the desire within to be free, is given no credence in this presentation. The US military is comprised of US citizens (for now). Those personnel come from all over the US. They come from diverse ideologies, cultures, beliefs...and families. This "military" question isn't new. Cunningham (LtCmdr USN) fielded a survey to 7th Marines back in '94, with that question posed. To believe that one soldier is going to stand by while another attacks his family (multiply that x1ks), is ludicrous. The very first "pillar" to fall would be the military. There are over 20+M veterans in this country. Veterans with skills in every aspect of military operational planning, logistics, medical, combat, etc. Enough to organize a very capable adversary. But...they would just sit back and accept whatever's thrown their way? Highly doubtful. The USG is a minority in this country. Every means they would use to oppress the population would affect ALL of the population...not just some. Many would operate against...from within (see the Irish Rebellion 1922). The French Revolution is a more likelier scenario than the US Civil War. Somehow, unarmed and starving population brought down an entire empire. Underestimating an adversary is dangerous. The same applies to a population who has had enough and decides so.
@@michaeldalton8374 "Rule of Threes". 1/3 are "for". 1/3 are "against". And 1/3 will "sit on the fence", waiting to see who wins. Pretty standard approach of people, when faced with most serious events such as discussed here. I wouldn't underestimate what people will/will not do. Especially when faced with life altering events. Underestimating another usually bears bad consequences. History is full of examples proving that. See reactions of the American Colonies in 1775, the French in 1789, the Irish 1922, India 1947...etc., for reference.
The party in power would not depend on our police or military but would invite in a military force like China to be peace keepers and help control citizen population centers. Just think on it my friend. We would not be invaded but occupied until the resistance is given up
I did a deep dive on a good number of the food industry fires, etc. I almost wish I hadn't. The number one cause was facility maintenance. During covid lockdowns, you had massive supply chain dusruption combining with the competency crisis very few are aware of. I very highly doubt more than a small handful of people have seen a 24" blow off valve, or the controls and sensors that run a 5000+ gallon industrial boiler plant. These plants were the cause of 4 out of 10 facility fires I looked into. One was no kidding capping a blow off valve on a boiler. They simply could not get the parts. Due to manpower shortages in numbers and competency they were not monitoring the systems effectively. Higher up the chain the choice was shutdown lose money or take a massive risk and rely on insurance. This is going to continue to happen and those in charge are likely to try and cover up things by pointing fingers at a foreign power or domestic extremists. Anything but the truth which even for me was kind of hard to swallow.
excellent point, i am an electromechanical maint tech at a large plant. I have had to put out SEVERAL fires on my own in the last 2 years, even one 2 weeks ago and I prevented a gas line from exploding. We have a severe lack of parts and a huge lead time on parts we order. As the guy who knows my job and does the job, execs don't take heed when People like us tell them to take caution and schedule more preventative maintenance, they just keep pushing to maintain profit increase. I shouldn't be putting out fires, but I spent many years as a first responder and jumping to and taking action isnt something that I can leave behind me. I mightve saved a few people in the process.

I agree with 95% of tour video, in fact I will be using and reference it for some groups and discussions. The one problem is... your already being invaded and people need to rethink what defines war and invasion.
That's what I can't understand about this. The alternative is that we all just roll over and take it. What if our forefathers would have done that? What kind of man does that make us. I've never really been someone to roll over. And I kind of live by the hole. I would rather die on my feet than survive on my knees. If anything ever happened here I would pretty much accept the fact that I more than likely will not make it out of it. But but I d*** sure wanna leave my mark while I am here. And try to make sure that my children have somewhere to grow and thrive that actually resembles. What America is supposed to big government has gotten too big. They fall in very far from the liberty tree from which they have grown. And if we just sit back and hope that it will get better because we think we can't win .... well that never ends well
I live in Pennsylvania. Grew up in military family up and down east coast. I know dozens of law enforcement both emplyoed and elected. The truth is that the majority of the Military, Police and state troopers Especially Sheriff's and Constables. Will actually side with citizens over orders from politicians and elites.
@@sigma3survivalschool If there was civil war I cant seeing WALMART being open. What good is a paycheck during severe civil unrest, chaos etc. Stores will immediately be emptied and supply trucks would never make deliveries. Maybe Im wrong but thats the way I imagine it. I see it as more of a survival scenario and paychecks mean zilch in that situation.
And if there is no food or stores. You can’t fight. Armies march on their stomachs. I can survive entirely off the land. But the average ruck burns 500 cals an hour in level ground. Can’t sustain that output without consistent food
Yup, I disagree with every claim he's made in the video. One of the biggest flaws is the claim there's no successful insurgencies he can think of, I can list 9 off the top of my head.
As you layed out pretty good... There are no revolutions that happen from inside alone. It's always a country from outside, that is interested in a revolution or regime change. That's why the next time your news tell you, it's people who want a revolution, check out who is supporting them. Ukraine, Syria, Iran, whatever it is... It's always a country from outside who is paying for it to organize it. Mostly of the time it's either the USA or the UK.
The reality of a civil war is horrific, the cruelty and devastation inflicted on the population on both sides will alter history because the societal wounds will not heal.

" I don't agree with this guy on anything, but I do agree you need more than an air 15 to take on an Abrams" And who said 1 person with an AR15 is going to be taking on an Abrams? This is a ridiculous statement that's void of any real analytic thought or substance. it seems you're missing a lot of things and making assumptions. God forbid, if it ever came to that, it wouldn't be one guy with an AR15, and if an Abrams was stupid enough to get into a dense populated area where an insurgency would have advantages, it would be much more than 1 guy with an AR15, and there's plenty of things that people would be capable of when it came to countering such weapons, and you're also talking about a country full of millions of former vet and law enforcement that know how to fight, know how the military fights, and knows ways to counter such weapon systems. You think there's people in this country that don't know how to build IEDs and effectively deploy them? Come on, all the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan should have taught you and everyone else pondering this topic, that's a fighting force that's motivated doesn't need sophisticated equipment to counter and push back. You really think there's not caches of weapons and ammunition stored around this country? If you don't think so, I got news for you.
dude. We spent the last 20 years fighting insurgent groups that didn't even make a dent in us and they had exponentially more firepower than the US citizen has at their disposal. They live harder lives and don't need walmart to survive.
@@sigma3survivalschool🤣🤣🤣 bro stop. You sound foolish! We spent 20 years and couldn’t win the “war”. We didn’t even come close to winning in Afghanistan.
@@sigma3survivalschoolIncorrect. The US citizen has MUCH more firepower than any Middle Eastern country. Afghanistan only has around 10 million small arms. There’s close to 400 million guns in the United States. Artillery and explosives? US citizens have that, too? Ignoring the fact an RPG is legal in the US, you act like nobody in the US knows how to make an IED or create a technical. What about the artillery in storage that could be operated by civilian vets? Nonetheless, OP is right. There’s a reason why tanks and IFVs are falling more into support categories. Infantry beats armour. A tank or Bradley is only as good as its infantry on its flanks. If you travel into an ambush with a company’s worth of AR-15 wielding rebels, chances are, your armour isn’t going to win. We’ve already witnessed this in Ukraine. Situations where tanks and IFVs are getting stuck in trenches and traps, and small arms wielding soldiers and resistance fighters swarming the armour and overtaking it.
@@sigma3survivalschool It's funny, you probably think the comment about needing Walmart to survive is cute, but clearly you haven't spent a lot of time out in the country where good old boys are, or where I live up in the mountains. there are a ton of people in this country that know how to survive just fine on their own. There are a lot of self-sufficient communities out there, especially agricultural based. your comment smacks of ignorance of somebody that's used to living in the suburbs or city. As far as your claims about fighting in Afghanistan, Boy...you really haven't thought this through. You're not talking about operating in the mountains of Kandahar, you're talking about operating within the confines of the United States Borders. you're talking about populated cities in the United States, and in the countryside, you're talking about trying to root out insurgencies within the same region that you live. both sides live there along with the native populace. You know what that means? That means all the shiny toys that the US got to use an Afghanistan don't apply here. you don't get to drop Daisy cutter's on neighborhoods and expect to keep the support of the loyalists, you don't get to use C130 gun ships over heavily populated areas, you don't get to use Heavy armor rolling in to populated areas with US citizens, everything that the US enjoyed over there doesn't apply here on the same level. You go heavy-handed like that, and you're going to lose any support that the loyalist population would have for the sitting government. It becomes a phone booth dagger fight, which means door to door fighting, and a lot of boots on the ground. You're also talking about a massive country. Not just a country you're operating in the size of Texas, you would have pockets throughout the entire United States, and if only 3% of the population decided to resist, that's 10.5 million motivated insurgents. If for any reason the government could get the full cooperation of the military, and that's a real hard ask, they still would be massively outmanned and have major problems fighting an American insurgency that lives and operates within the same region as the military is fighting, and can blend away whenever at once and would most likely have massive support within the population. You're talking about millions of people that are also combat veterans and know how the military operates, their tactics, the weaknesses, and ow to exploit them. I hold a degree in counter terrorism, and it's part of my formal education along with my law enforcement background, so we actually had to dive into some of these topics, and I don't think people really understand how impossible it would be for even the US military to successfully stamp out a motivated insurgency within the United States. I'm not trying to be rude, but you're position and arguments on this are very entry level and you have not done a proper deep dive and thought this through. Chances are though, that you wouldn't just have an insurgency, you would have actual leaders that hold the respect of troops, men like General Flynn for example, that would probably step up and inspire leadership and followers, soldiers follow leadership they respect. If you had factions break off and ally on a state level, now you're talking about states with its own military leadership, and states also have access to lots of military equipment. In Arizona, they build missiles and Apache helicopters, As well as ammunition. The majority of the conservative states produce food and the backbone of American infrastructure, when logistics comes to a halt because conservative truckers don't run, with conservative farming communities no longer wanting to provide, you have a massive breakdown in logistical support of normalcy. Depending on what states decided to ally with one another, you're talking about access to F35 aircraft, bombers, various ordinance, you even have access to nuclear weapons... So whether it's an insurgency only, or a divided nation where factions break off, it's a mess way beyond the capability for the US military to simply step up and easily stamp out as you seem to think.

So after viewing all the discouragements that you have highlighted, why would anyone take any training or classes that you offer.? I mean if you want to learn to grow food you don't need survival skills to do so. But you do need land that you own, and you need to be able to defend that resource. The message seems like it is coming from the Borg, and it is saying "resistance is futile" That is the antithesis of being an American. It is not in our nature. If one doesn't have freedom, one does not have anything. I mean, why would you need to take survival classes to play army? We did that as children. So, I guess the message is to bend over and enjoy what tyranny has to offer. We are sadly in need of some George Washingtons here.
George Washington talked a lot about how little overall effect insurgent forces had and how standing armies were needed to defeat standing armies. And I’m only trying to instill reality because just go read the comments. Many many people believe war is the answer and it’s not
Historically speaking no one wins really in war, "war is hell". Let's not forget Washingtons engagement in the battle of Trenton, his standing army was experiencing difficult times, they were on the run and outnumbered, losses, enlistments were down and expiring, men were not getting paid, many did not have the proper gear for the weather, the proper provisions, their morale was low, but they had spirit and proper leadership and his faith. In regard to history if memory serves me correctly that there are many occurrences that point to insurgencies that have defeated their occupiers. Vietnam and Afghanistan are but two. @@sigma3survivalschool .
Interesting video. There are a lot of ways things could go, but I notice that "revolution" and "insurgency" and "civil war" are mixed together, and they are not the same. I think we're likely to see a number of secession events, rather than one huge War of Northern Aggression like in 1860. Sure, Texas is going to be one state involved almost certainly---they don't have to secede, because they joined the US as a republic under a treaty, that's been confirmed by the US Supreme Court as recently as the 1950's. There are secession movements in many states, including California, believe it or not. I see secession in multiple states to be more likely than a revolution or civil war. Just my opinion. I would call the First Vermont Republic a win, btw. They seceded from New Hampshire, New York, and Great Britain all on the same day...the first Boer War was a win for the Boers, but the British, who came from far over the seas, won the second by murdering 25% of the population via starvation, incidentally inventing the concentration camp. The British landed a force greater than the Boer population in order to accomplish this.
I am glad you called out the police and military. People should ask themselves why police have really become militarized and why they are trained to treat everyone as a threat.
Read "Unintended Consequences," by John Ross. Theres a free PDF online. He lays out exactly how an insurgency would succeed without latge scale coordination and communication, high level weaponry or a command and control system. The book drags a bit in the middle but gets there in the end.
Yes absolutely we would win. Thats not an egocentric or arrogant ignorant nor delusional answer. We would not stop until victory is secured and if it takes successive generations the American spirit would prevail.
Good video… However… If 25% of the military, LEO and States move to civil war your assumptions are out the window. There is also advancement? Military, industry and the food/equipment could shift sides. This would need to start at the State level, along with their resources. Again, this defeats your argument. The individual revolt, not a chance. But at the State level, absolutely.
The states don’t control much military equipment and they certainly can’t control the food. There are no food stockpiles at all. But if anyone does control it, it’s corporations beholden to the government
@@sigma3survivalschool I was referring to a sympathetic Governor, who has the support of like minded command at the bases located within their State. Each State has different agriculture, but that would help with supplies. If there’s ports, international borders, supplies can be imported.
The facilities are in states. A fractured country contains those states, which may or may not be under control of the separatists or loyalists. OP's point stands, you are simply to arrogant to consider other points.
The truckers and pilots have those corporations by the balls. Nobody will have enough food. The plan is called continuity of government not continuity of the United States. Also the leaders of these corporations have all build bunkers in other continents. Why do you think they would do that? Because they plan to stay here and rule over us or because maybe they know the ship is sinking and they are extracting/ stealing all the wealth because they stand to gain more personally from a collapsed us? Just some thoughts
@@sigma3survivalschool That's not true at all what are you talking about? The military is spread out in various states, every state has military equipment. In Arizona they build Apache helicopters and missiles, not to mention they have fleets of F35 fighters. other states have naval forces, etc... depending on what happened, if states divided, you would have all kinds of military hardware and equipment that would be dispersed, so to sit there and say states don't control much military equipment is factually false. It is not centralized.
Keep in mind that our forefathers did not have any more than we do now, in fact, they had less to overthrow a world power. So yeah, I think we could if we had people who were willing to. But the majority of people are not willing to mass the big difference back then everybody was in together supporting each other and if we don’t have that then we really don’t have a way to win.
Just FYI this has gone really far. I am also on the domestic terror watch list. Was fun to find out flying with my wife and 3 kids to see grandma and getting harassed. Even the airline lady was like wtf. You speak out you are on a list. You join a group you get upgraded. Make a mistake and break any law while on that list and FBI swat teams will just follow orders.
@@sigma3survivalschool The Article IV of the Constitution very explicitly exclaims that we are a Republic, and that article is part of the Constitution. Constitutional, in this context, literally means to be Governed by the Constitution, and that part of the Constitution exclaims in legality that we are a Republic. HENCE, the Constitutional Republic. = A Republic Governed by the Constitution. The Constitution’s Article IV requires every state of the Union to be a republic. Article IV, Section 4 commands: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.”
Thank you for this video and covering in depth those things that would be needed to fight a revolution in modern times all of your points are well taken and well thought out.there is one area though I think is worth mentioning or that was not covered .The soldiers that patriotic well meaning revolutionaries would be up against may already be here I don’t mean only those combatants in our own military.It could be a possibility worth mentioning that a lot of those military age males are already here and have been crossing into the United States at our southern borders for the last several years and a majority of them have not been vetted not to mention the ones who got away and no one knows where they are .I don’t clam to be a military strategist but if I were ,it would be easy to invade a country if my army we’re already in place living amongst the very people that they would in engage especially if the government were feeding them and providing for them until it was time to strike .they would know our weaknesses our strengths our infrastructure and how to disrupt and intimidate the population (physiological warfare) classic text book right out of the Art of War keeping your enemy distracted looking where you want them to look while you strike somewhere unexpected, possible exam the political climate and division in the US today divide and conquer .”know your enemy “ just an old veterans humble option 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸thanks again for your video
14:18 this is again a misunderstanding of our "Revolution". Although Loyalist armies were supported by foreign aid, they were many comprised of colonists including one of Benjamin Franklin's own son William was a Loyalist leader who after the war fled to England never to see his father again. Colonists fought against one another it was not just a Red Coat invader army
“NUMBERS”… sheer numbers; that is how success can be achieved. Having an overwhelming number of courageous freedom-defending men & women coming together to stand steadfastly together as one massive nationwide roadblock would be the #1 most important aspect of success. And this is exactly why the enemies of America spend so much time & effort on “dividing Americans” & pitting them against each other. Because they know full well that if the day ever came that the 200+ million man army of American citizens were to “in unison/simultaneously” unite all across this country in full on resistance against them, that their reign of corruption & dominion would come to a swift & definitive end. Americans must “unite” in order to stand any chance whatsoever against such a corrupt & evil power. But “together” Americans most certainly can achieve anything that they set their minds to (“UNITED WE STAND” - divided we fall”; it really is that simple). And the 2nd most important aspect of a success would obviously be to get the police & the military & as many federal agencies as possible on the side of the people; this would be a profoundly crucial component of success. Difficult to achieve yes; but not impossible (as contrary to popular opinion, there are in reality still many moral & patriotic men & women serving in American law enforcement & military agencies). And without the police & military on their side, the enemies of America would instantly lose their ability to threaten & control the American people. Naturally it would be extremely difficult to get “all” law enforcement/military personnel on the side of the people, but Americans nonetheless would be wise to use their enemies’ own tactics against them… in the form of at least “dividing” the law enforcement/military agencies against themselves (which is accomplished by succeeding in convincing at least some of their numbers to join the people). Because if even just a minority portion of law enforcement/military personnel were to join the side of the people, it could cause great angst & turmoil among the remaining ranks of obedient order followers; & such a division among those strong-arms of America’s enemies could/would certainly have tremendous benefits for the cause of the people. So basically THERE “IS” STILL HOPE. But it all will come down to whether or not the American people can find it within themselves & within each other to finally UNITE…
