(8,994 posts)You just don't get tired of spewing your pro-fascist dogma, do you? Your understanding of history is as lacking as your evidence that I am spouting RW "bullshit".
Romania and Libya's governments launched armed assaults on their citizens and they were defeated. Nothing you said contradicts this. In fact, with Libya, you even pointed out a major weakness in modern armies during a domestic insurrection: the likelihood that units will defect.
In fact just to hurt your argument more, I will add another fact: the world's most powerful army - the United States - took a hell of a whallop over in Iraq. Thousands dead and tens of thousands horribly wounded, to the point that we "declared victory" and left out of there, to the chagrin of a lot of Republicans. Worse than that, Afghanistan's armed populace REPELLED THE SOVIET UNION.
No right wing bullshit here, just facts. Your claim that armed citizens can't fight modern armies is bullshit. It was done most recently in Iraq and Libya.
BTW if you think I am spouting RW dogma then alert me. Otherwise you're just being irrational, and I will continue to stand my ground and explode all your talking points.
