Nuke the Insurrectionists or Something

One has to hope that Grandpa Badfinger is merely cruising down Sundowner Drive in his mental Datsun B-210, because the alternative is that our president* is an idiot. Now, both could be true simultaneously – he could be senile and a quarter-wit – but if that were true, it would make this the first time this ridiculous timeserver ever multitasked any kind of achievements, however dubious. Usually, he’s content to fail at just one thing at a time, which makes him good enough for government work, and thereby, for the Democrat Party.

President Asterisk said something remarkably stupid last week, but that requires more specificity. This particular nimrod monologue went as follows: “Those who say the ‘blood of patriots,’ you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government. Well, the tree of liberty has not been watered with the blood of patriots. What’s happened is that there have never been, if you want to, think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.

His clown-o-logue requires translation into English:

“Stuff words things clichés more things stuff more clichés I heard someone say this on Maddow more words where’s my mush F-15s you don’t need a 100-round clip to hunt deer Matlock forever ka-baaom!”

I hope that cleared things up.

So, don’t rebel with your puny AR-15s or we drop a hot rock on you, and also that guy in the Thor get-up and the grannies snapping selfies were about to murder our democracy. One of the myriad questions *’s bizarre notion of nuking us normals ‘til we glow raises is why he expects that the woke, medal-beddecked bureaucrats who have yet to win a war in the last two decades will suddenly be successful if they wage a war at *’s behest upon the American people for the crime of disobeying him and his Geppettos.

Moreover, our crusty commander-in-chief spewed this nonsense about how individuals with small arms couldn’t possibly successfully resist the enormous firepower of the American military at the same time a bunch of individuals with small arms are successfully resisting the enormous firepower of the American military in Afghanistan.

We could point out other historical examples, like our own Revolution or Vietnam, where the militarily superior nation was stymied by individuals with small arms (in those cases, the insurgencies grew and the insurgents eventually began fielding conventional formations and still won). But then we also know, because people who voted for *’s told us so, that history began in 1619 when the Republicans forced Democrats to own slaves and then nothing happened until 2008 when Obama was elected. So, history, being racist and also denying the existence of trans people somehow, is not a thing and is worthless to study. Hence, instead of relying on the lessons of the past, we should just create policy out of the verbal memes of a senile old weirdo and see how that goes.

What you don’t want to do is spoil things with inconvenient facts, and lucky for America’s No. 1 Murder, She Wrote superfan, the garbage media is right there, ready to not ask him any of the painfully obvious questions that an actual journalist might ask of this eccentric executive.

But as a public service, let me ask a few, some of which I posed recently in a Twitter thread that was greeted with both conservative acclaim and geneorus liberal panty-wetting.

“Are you saying that you would use bombers like F-15s against Americans? Would you ever use nuclear weapons against Americans?”

That seems like an important coule of threshold queries. Say “No” and you look like a fool. Say “Yes” and you’re a fool and a psycho.

“Mr. President, since using force against American citizens is on the table, can you tell us how many BCTs the American military has currently deployable within the United States? Do you know how many troops are in a brigade combat team? Do you understand the logistical needs of a BCT and its vulnerabilities in an insurgency environment?”

A “BCT” is a brigade combat team, 4,000-5,000 troops and the basic ground combat unit. Now, if you are going to pick a fight with 165 million Americans, specifically the half who like America and who own a whole bunch of those accursed AR-15s, you might wanna know how many dudes you have on your side first (I estimate about 80 active and reserve BCTs and equivalents in the whole active and reserve force, including the Marines). One might also want to understand why you would have problems using them here at home.

“How many BCTs do you think you would need to secure an urban area the size of Los Angeles. Didn’t it take three divisions, about 12 brigades, to secure it during the Riots? How long could you logistically support that?”

It did take three divisions (approximately 12 BCTs) to quell the riot in LA in 1992. I was there. Now, that was largely idiots burning and looting. What if the next time it is guys shooting back with evil AR-15s? And America is a zillion times bigger than Los Angeles. How do you hold all that ground? You don’t.

“Have your generals staffed exactly how many American military personnel they could count on to attack American citizens if you ordered it? What percentage do you believe would comply and why?”

Oh, awkward. I was informed – by them, the geniuses in the Pentagon – that “extremists in the ranks” are our gravest threat (except for the weather, of course), so I assume they will have analyzed the number of “extremists” in the ranks who would be averse to killing their own friends and family at the behest of coastal elitists and who would desert or go full Niedermeyer on the guys urging them to wage war on the American people. This would be a good number to have as a planning factor, since when 50% of his troops go *poof* overnight, it would mean a significant reduction in the *’s combat power.

“You mentioned F-15s. How many bombers of all types does the United States have deployable within the continental US? How many are operational? How many sorties could the military fly a day against American citizens? Can you explain how you would employ bombers to hold territory, like a city?”

Bombers are nice. But if they were decisive, you could walk around Kabul without a dozen guys with AKs keeping your Schumer safe. We bombed Afghanistan back into the Stone Age – albeit, it was not much of a trip, but the point remains. You control dirt by having a guy with a rifle standing on it, not plinking at targets from 30,000 feet. And speaking of targeting…

“What means would you use to identify targets to bomb within the United States? What would the rules of engagement be when using bombers against American citizens?”

How many of you think the average MSNBCNN viewer would hesitate to bomb Texas or any other red enclave flat? And how many of you feel like giving up your means of self-defense against tyranny at the behest of people who would not hesitate to bomb Texas or any other red enclave flat?

“How would you protect the supply lines to the fighter bases from attacks by armed citizens? How many of your limited ground forces would you allocate to securing supply lines between bases and protecting complicit forces living off post from retaliation?”

You know what the most vulnerable part of an F-15, or a tank, or any other combat vehicle is? The people and stuff, like fuel, who make it go. Why would * think that he’d not have to devote most of his force to defensive operations as opposed to offensive ones? Oh wait, it’s because he’s a fool.

“Have you considered that the military forces of the National Guard in red states, which include aircraft, artillery and infantry, may refuse or even oppose your campaign against American citizens? Would you attack those forces?”

Oh, that’s a twist. So, does that desiccated clown think that Greg Abbott’s or Ron DeSantis’s National Guard units are just going to join in the oppression fun? Keep in mind, those weekend warriors are a reservoir of wartime experience (many guys like me did a tour in a war, then stuck around in the Guard forever – active-duty units’ turnover is huge, because many are first-termers). Reservists have to maintain exactly the same training standards as the active-duty components and they use much of the same equipment. So, that’s a problem. Oh, and then there’s the most important question…

“Mr. President, how many American would you kill to maintain your hold on power?”

You know, I just don’t think our genius-in-chief has thought this through. And if they weren’t so busy on their heretic hunts and CRT training, maybe our victory-free flag officer corps could enlighten him.

Nah, forget it. He’s rolling.

I know a lot of pilots and find it hard to believe they would fire on US citizens. I also know a lot of mechanics and have always found them to be more patriotic than the population. How long would an F-15 fly without proper maintenance?

Foot soldiers, on the other hand, are a mix of the population and many of them would follow orders. Some would not and when they decide to join the opposition, will take their equipment with them.

Now that the obvious has been stated, concerning the Military’s inability to subjugate places like Afghanistan, we need to consider the next fact. Biden and his True Commanders will orchestrate something so bad, that they think he’ll be able to get on TV and tell everybody, “I’m signing an emergency order telling you to turn in your guns right now.”
I didn’t say that would be sane, but the Deep State will try to take the guns. They have to in order to set up their iron-clad fascistic state. And they will inadvertently spark a movement that will end in the Dissolution of the United States.

I stand in awe of the utter lack of imagination and historical knowledge of the twits in the Democratic Party, “Progressives” in general, and especially, the chief moron in the White House. Let me ‘splain a few things.

The revolt, when it comes, will not include millions of ordinary Americans waiting in ordered lines to be slaughtered by Gropey Joe’s F-15’s or his nukes. It will be much more like the IRA campaign or the Communist terrorists in Italy and German in the 1970’s. Small groups or even individuals taking out specific targets, such as arrogant Silicon Valley tech assholes, corrupt DOJ lawyers, loudmouth politicians who sleep with Chinese spies, and pushy local “Progressives” trying to cram CRT down the throats of our kids. You won’t have any targets, Joe.

As Kurt points out, the idea that any appreciable part of the military will agree to murder their fellow Americans is nonsense. First, every soldier with an IQ of 50 knows that any such orders would be illegal. Second, most of them despise Biden – for every Milley there are a hundred decent, patriotic Americans. Third, there are not enough reliable (treasonous) police or soldiers to control metropolitan New York, much less the entire country. Fourth, you can only control terrain with boots on the ground. The relatively few troops Biden would have would be spread as thin as butter on a piece of toast, easy targets for any old coot with a deer rifle. Fifth, within the days the military would dissolve, with patriotic troops hauling off huge stores of heavy weapons and ammo. Biden would be left with transgender file clerks and pregnant black women in camo.

Biden and his friends are afraid, very afraid. They should be.

“As Kurt points out, the idea that any appreciable part of the military will agree to murder their fellow Americans is nonsense.”

That’s true ….for NOW.

How long until the military is fully purged of Deplorables, and filled with their guys? What then? Or, perhaps your opinion is that will never happen?

Stucky will greatly appreciate your paragraph efforts. In fact, I am sure he will claim credit for making you a more popular commenter now that those afraid of paragraphs larger than ten lines will actually read your wise and sage words, in spite of your being southern.

First, every soldier with an IQ of 50 knows that any such orders would be illegal. Second, most of them despise Biden – for every Milley there are a hundred decent, patriotic Americans.

Sage? I really do respect your opinion, your expertise and background and your obvious ability to learn new tricks with the keyboard. While I agree with your points in general, I am going to address your five points and see if I can’t add to the discussion just a bit.

1. You are a lot more optimistic about the soldiers grasping illegal orders than my husband and I. It has been ten years since I last taught in a USAF classroom (about 6 years for my husband) but I do not think our young soldiers would have any problem with drone-striking insurrectionists in Appalachia or Rocky mountain regions since they are already being indoctrinated with the propaganda required to identify certain regional groups as enemies of the “State.”

The reason of the state is more important than the rights or liberty of any component of the state. The military is driven by self-interested generals who need to use more weapons to guarantee them a ride on the defense industry gravy train when they retire. They rationalize their greed and corruption with the self-aggrandizing opinion that their ability to get promoted during the most abysmal decades of the US military’s existence proves they are the best suited to make decisions at the big weapons suppliers, say Northrup or Boeing or Raytheon or any of the other big contractors who buy up US generals at the same rate they buy Congresscritters, sometimes on the same purchase ticket. Our soldiers know that and they probably despise their officers for their sycophantic positions but they also know they are among the best paid military service members in the world and they have bills to pay, just like you do. A lot of urban enlistees have not got the loyalty to country you think they have. In fact? I know a few whose behavior was reprehensible.

And they got promoted and awarded ribbons.

2. Over this past year I am almost positive the ranks have been purged of Trump support. Do not underestimate the willingness of inept men and women in positions of power to make sure anyone with a lick of sense gets fired.

3. I agree with that one completely. As a matter of fact, I will add that small town America won’t play that game. We don’t raise monkeys out here. We raise guerillas.

4. As the wife of an old coot with a deer rifle and a few other long guns which are not anyone’s business, I agree in part. The part I think you miss is how very deadly and accurate our drone operators are getting. And, how inured they have become to blowing up whole villages to try and kill one terrorist who may or may not be there. If they can be convinced some regions are being controlled by some Insurrectionist White Supremacist and they have to send drones to strike them, there are some who will do it without question.

5. I’m thinking there is a lot of ammo stored a lot of places and it will get ugly quick if it starts this way.

TN Patriot
TN Patriot

I have a feeling too many drone operators view their jobs much the same as playing Call of Duty. Pulling the trigger on a drone while sitting on a base in New Mexico makes it quite impersonal.

I think deer rifles and the people who have been using them since childhood are the secret weapons. These people are trained to conceal themselves and wait hours upon hours for the right target to show up. They take their shot and their day is done.

Southern Sage
Southern Sage

I completely understand your reservations and concerns. That said, I still believe that any attempt by Biden or some other traitor to turn such weaponry on the American people would result in a total disintegration of the military and a revolt by Red state governments. Any military personnel who obeyed such orders would pay for with their lives, either by being hunted down by the American people or by formal execution once order is restored in the country.

As for the military being filled with “Woke” idiots, unlikely. These people have no interest whatsoever in joining the military. Even if they did, have you seen photos of the Portland Antifa freaks? I really doubt that any of the twerps from the Ivy League will be enlisting. As for those anti-American scum who do weasel (there are always a few, I met some in the USMC) they are the very worst kind of people you can imagine. I am not at all concerned about the ability of an aroused American people to defeat them – and hang them.

“Biden and his friends are afraid, very afraid. They should be.”

I believe you’re absolutely correct, and that should be cause for concern on our part. Desperate people do desperate things. Be aware of “cyber polygon” type activities happening in the not too distant future.

They know we know. They see clearly people from all walks of life waking up to their treachery. This frightens only the human minions of evil. Do you honestly believe the “principalities and powers” have not planned for this? The last thing they are is stupid. They play to the death because they know death awaits them. The devil has already lost everything, he has nothing more to lose; only to try and destroy whatever vestiges of decency are left before his time is up. He’ll go down eventually, but it’s gonna be an ugly ride that only God Almighty Himself can orchestrate.

Daniel 2:44 KJB… “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.”

Such a time grows ever nearer. Get out while the getting’s good!

I have related before how I once travelled across “flyover country”, particularly Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota in small planes from small local airport to airport. What I was surprised at was every little BFE airport had squadrons of Air National Guard fighters. Some had Chinooks or those huge construction choppers.

Supposedly they are not going to divulge info piecemeal in AZ. I am hearing on Warroom from the AZ people they are going to do the canvas next and then release the whole thing. It has been claimed they have already found massive discrepancies. What is wild is that AZ supposedly has the least corruption of all the disputed states and that PA had enough phony voters, ballots, etc. to have papered over a ONE MILLION vote Trump victory in that state. We already know Sean Parnell lost in Allegheny County by a handful of votes with 50,000 more votes “cast” than eligible voters in the district.

My Dad was on an LST in the Pacific and they carried a lot of M1 toting marines who all loved their rifles. He told me stories he overheard them talking about some of the shots made with it. Our friend, Mark, down in NC is a believer in that particular weapon system.

Harrington Richardson: Deplorable Ninja Grifter
Harrington Richardson: Deplorable Ninja Grifter

I believe Mark is big on the terminal development of the M1 which resulted in the M-14. Garand designed the excellent 20 round box mag for the M-14. Garand wanted to use a detachable mag in the M1, probably the BAR mag. Pederson had gotten Ordnance to go with his idea for an enbloc clip which was a feature of his competing design in .276 Pederson.

HR – too bad the military gave up on the highly effective 30-06 and sent to the 5.56 spray and pray option. The .308 was also a highly effective round in the M14.

Harrington Richardson: Deplorable Ninja Grifter
Harrington Richardson: Deplorable Ninja Grifter

It’s the weight thing. I’d much rather carry three times as many rounds for the same weight. The original 1/12 twist barrel of the M16 and M16A1 made the M193 incredibly deadly causing explosive wounds out to two hundred yards. When they went to the 1/7 with the A2 and M4 series it over stabilized the bullet causing it to make nice neat little .224 holes where the original 1/12 would have blown off an arm or disemboweled the enemy with a gut shot as the bullet tumbled upon contact causing a catastrophic failure at the cannelure resulting in two jagged 25 grain pieces and small fragments whizzing around in the victim.
I would opt for the big gun and heavy ammo if I had to deal with vehicles or people in body armor or barricades etc
