I get that. There's not better historical statement that I would be able to place there either.

Thank you for the clarification

How so?

In my opinion they're both threatening each other

Yeah but this is more like 53B.C. where Romans initiated the attacks no?

Can't blame China for mismanagement.

In the US market for instance no US manufacturer makes a car with 4 doors under $40,000. And even then the cheapest one is a Tesla model 3. You know how electric cars cost more to make, it means that it's possible to make one but they refuse or are too incompetent to do so.

Idk man this seems pretty apolitical

I assume he meant that just because someone believes in something separate from their scientific work doesn't affect their credibility.

An easy thought experiment is if an astronomer believes that when an ostrich is scared it buries its head in the ground. Does this affect their work?

If a surgeon believes in destiny doesn't mean that their work is subpar or that they sabotage their work because it might be someone's destiny to die.

True but by the time they decide to make a move they would've reinforced DC. And there's a bunch of military bases right there.

Even if you took them by surprise by the time you make it into any building VIPs would be secured and the military preparing a counter offensive.

There is no successful rebellion against the US government with support of the military

The US, or any country in fact, is unlikely to give up a chunk of its land because some civilians have machine guns.

I think they'd rather flatten it before considering doing so.

Lets say California through Texas want to have a rebellion. How long do you think it's going to last after the army blockades all the freeways and imposes a curfew.

Believe me I'd sleep a lot easier believing that if the government goes too far we can topple it. But when was the last time you saw something like that happen without the support of the military or the vast vast majority of the population in support.

And the American people will not rally together due to their strong allegiance to their respective political party

EU won't risk such a thing if the US is unlikely to collapse.

The only and I do mean only scenario I see an armed resistance succeeding in toppling ghe government is if a decent chunk of the military sides with it and partakes in the insurrection

Your house in the suburbs is an easy target and one in the boonies is an easier one.

Hard to organize an armed resistance when you're so spread out and your best cover is made of drywall.

Though I do love your username

Who says they didn't give them the money they paid to the victims

Probably just told to say so by Trump to end the discussions
