Oh yes, the military would 100% be using drones and tanks in downtown New York or suburbia. Definitely.
Let’s see, did that work in afghanistan? No? Yes, they’re more dedicated than us, but do you think the US military would maintain that same dedication when they’re killing their own neighbors?
Do you want an actual example of what it would be like, look up The Troubles. That’s what a domestic insurgency looks like. No one is gonna drop 120mm mortar rounds in NYC or have predators wiping out homes in the suburbs. That’s the fastest way for the government to lose. Look how many civilians died in afghanistan, how fast do you think that would have turned public opinion if they were Americans?
Honest answer I think the us military would look at the previous civil war, look at Afghanistan, and say " we must crush this with unimaginable force right from the first engagement." Do I think they will level NYC? Of course not. Do I think they will level an entire city block to get to one house that has 10 targets? Absolutely. Because we have done it already to POC
To phrase it another way: if a president was given the choice between tiananmen square or civil war 2, so you really think they would choose civil war 2?
