You will win, just like Vietnam, with disproportionate losses.

Even in Afghanistan, there were instances where they had 17 US special forces killed to 1 Taliban, so they bombed some nearby village to kill 15 people to balance out the K/D ratio.

Thats fucked.

I am not sure how it will go with us though. Especially in my province. Theres a lot of MAGA morons here that would betray us in a second. That was very much NOT the case in Vietnam.

We also have drone warfare the US has been throwing into the mix lately. They did not have that in Vietnam.

They had a Ho Chi Mihn, who is possibly the greatest general mastermind of the last century. We do not.

They had ideal land conditions for guerrilla warfare. Most of Canada does not.

BUT

It does get fucking cold here and Americans are nothing if not weak and cowardly. And who knows, maybe their military will have enough dissent in the ranks that fighting a war against a white christian english speaking nation will make some of them rebel. But I mean the Vietnam war was unpopular and most people against it just dodged the draft or did peaceful protests (with some radical exceptions.) Idk I have zero faith in American liberals anymore though.

Wait...you're Canadian? Motherfucker we are part of the imperial core! Canada as it stands currently isnt gonna do fuck all about American imperialism because its how we get our cheap shit. We wont have Guerilla armies like the Vietnamese cause we are essentially Americans not cause of the teritory which is btw fantastic for it if you know where you live well. Thats the point of guerilla warfare. There isnt gonna be Canadian guerilla warfare happening unless its maybe native driven Maoism and that's the best case scenario there. We arent part of the resistance we are part of the problem and should act as such. The fucking arrogance

If you think that Canada’s imperialist impact is at all comparative to that of the US then you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s not GOOD, but being a part of it is not going to protect us from being invaded and our government and global impacts being changed to something much worse. I do not understand what you’re not getting about this man.

I don't think we share perspectives. Im a communist. We are communists here

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 1 points 2 weeks ago

Meet your local indigenous groups. Make friends, be curious about their culture, express sympathy and passion for what they've been put through.

Meet your local orgs. Make connections there too.

Get a gun license. Legally get a gun. For hunting moose or something. You can change your mind about sport hunting after you get it. It's a free country after all.

Read theory; share theory. Ho Chi Mihn didn't come out of the womb as a mastermind. He was literate. He read strategy.

I’ve already done all these things. I often encourage people to do the same. I doubt it will be enough though.
