If you lelt them babble on long enough, they always prove you right:
By the way – newspaper editorial cartoonists take a test when they’re interviewing, measuring their knowledge of current events, history, and their understanding of the ins and outs of American society.
If they score over 50%, they get a job in the warehouse.
Under? Cartooning.
Steve Sack is gone – but stupid is eternal .
They may be wildly optimistic about what it will be like, but even the reprobates see it coming.
Confirming comfortable biases? Check.
Meanwhile, the infrastructure and personnel necessary to keep that drone in the air and armed, much less use it, is it simply assumed to be intact and functioning. Even tho’ maintaining that same infrastructure is utterly exposed to attack and sabotage – oh, yeah, and as we’re seeing with our new and woke military over the last few years, maintenance is boring and uninteresting and the personnel that does it has been fired.
A lesson we have learned from fighting insurgents around the world
The lesson is local officials will be reluctant to cooperate with American forces oppressing the insurgents, because the insurgents will target local official’s families for retaliation.
American military have never had to worry about the safety of their families. They’re here at home while our soldiers Sailors Airmen and Marines are overseas.
In the scenario the cartoonist contemplates, where the insurgents and families are in the same country, military families would be at risk. How likely are you to report for duty leaving your family exposed? I suspect a morale problem, and desertion problem, are real possibilities.
Now do the same cartoon, this time with BLM rioters.
How did all that insurgency fighting work in Afghanistan?
there should be a red star painted on that drone to make it more relevant and realistic.
The degenerates think CWII will be them, eating avocado toast and watching drones bomb the hicks in MAGA country into the stone age.
The MAGA militia thinks it will be “pew pew pew. Take that lefty! Give me some more ammo Bob!”
Everyone thinks it will be a grand picnic…just like they did back in 1861
No. Picture watching your house burn while you shelter in a ditch. If you live in a Metro area, picture eating 3 times a week, because trucks cannot make it anywhere near urban areas.
If you live in a city, picture fighting mobs of heavily armed blacks for those meals; the MAGA men won’t even have to show up. Picture boiling water to drink and piles of human waste in the street, because the treatment plant blew up last week…heck, if you live in a leftist shithole, you don’t have to picture human waste; it’s out there right now.
If you live up North, picture being cold all the time. Picture being snatched up off the street, and hauled off by the other side…maybe don’t picture that.
I’ve expressed my desire to split up peacefully, because splitting up is necessary. But being a student of history, I know it won’t be peaceful. And it won’t be a picnic.
And consider this.
Leftist degenerates are heavily concentrated in relatively small geographic locations (cities). That’s great for stealing elections; for fighting the hicks in fly-over land; not so much. Many have not ever traveled more than 50 miles. Virtually none can read a map, much less use one to travel from one place to another. You can be sure one of the first casualties will be GPS signals.
When confronted with maps like this, reprobates always say “land doesn’t vote”, and that’s true. But land is room to operate in times of war, and (as I can personally attest) it grows food, too.
The logistics of getting supplies to cities, where they will be most needed, would be a nightmare. Overnight, avocado toast will become an urban myth.
In Iraq and Afghanistan, the insurgents quickly learned placing IED’s along roads into cities resulted in massive casualties for NATO. The soldiers were equipped, but the citizens suffered greatly, which provided motivation for them to help the insurgents.
On the other side, I think the most pressing need would be medical supplies and doctors. Most rural areas are served by regional clinics that provide triage and stabilization for transport to city hospitals. Most do not have ER’s equipped to handle massive amounts of gunshot and trauma wounds.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just agree to divvy things up, and save the fighting for later?
Don’t worry, Lefties? Milley & Austin have your back, and those guys are WARRIORS!
Get used to eating tasty bugs, weeds and grass. Within a couple of weeks of a major food shortage, most of the big game (urban deer herds), small game (rabbits and squirrels) and a lot of waterfowl, will be either gone or almost gone. Some lefty moron put out an op-Ed in of all rags, Bon Appetit, stating support for cannibalism. These climate Nazis are sick.
In reality, armed resistance to the feds would come from governors.
Going back further than the Civil War, in the Revolutionary War a lot of the officer and political class members had held commissions and/or offices under King George at one point or another, and had sworn a loyalty oath to him. In the early part of that war, the popular notion was that the colonies were in revolt against parliament while remaining loyal subjects of George Rex.
That changed dramatically, I believe as a result of Thom Payne’s pamphleteering. But don’t quote me on that last bit.
Boss, that got into the NY Times as well. Endorse cannibalism, wonder why flyover country thinks they’re nuts.
For me, probably the biggest issue is that by and large, armed resistance doesn’t generally seek to win the war. It seeks to make the cost too high to continue.
Political cartoons are timeless and universal, they conjure ideas, politics and humanity all at once, while making their point with a line. They are dangerous because they do exactly what they are supposed to do as a journalistic tool: hold the mighty up to examination via informed and incisive humor. They do in a single image what can take thousands of words to do.
Emery thinks that in a contest between an old white guy with a tiny gun, and the pentagon, the old white guy is the mighty one.
Jesus, how stupid can he get? The whole point of the article is that the pentagon can kill the old white guy at will.
