But imagine if a foreign country invaded the US and gained a sizable stronghole. We'd be arming right-wing militias to repel the invaders too.

Who's "we"? Biden? You are saying Biden will arm Jan 6th rioters to repel the Chinese or Russians or whatever?

Also, brave Mujahideen etc etc

They're a help now, but Azov will be a problem in the future.

I can't wait for Azov to do another 9/11 antelope-popcorn

Plus there's the small problem of Azov having been instrumental in raiding the Donbas region of Ukraine for seven years before the Russian Federation got involved. So it would be more like if Rishi Sunak armed the Oathkeepers to raze Arizona until Mexico felt the need to intervene.

Who’s “we”? Biden?

We as in the US. Stop trying to pwn the "other side" weirdo.

So you are saying that the U.S. will fund right wing domestic terrorists to fight the Chinese?

I mean, yeah, if China decided to invade the US, the US probably would proliferate the explosives needed by those far right militias right down to 'em, they already have more small arms and ammo than the US mil of course, but they would need the Apaches and Hellfire missiles to be dispensed. OH, and half of them are already trained in their use, being ex military themselves. So "yes" I guess is what I'm trying to say. Or perhaps more accurately "probably, yes."

I'm saying if the Chinese invade, gain a significant stronghold, and use that area to continuously bombard the surrounding area in an attempt to overtake the entire country, the US will arm anyone they can. It's not a difficult concept, why is this so hard?

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No they won't. The U.S. would never arm communists, for instance.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Anyone familiar with even a cursory history if the Black Panthers knows just how far the US will go to disarm communists.
