No, as I said I was in the military for almost a decade. I promise you I'm way more versed in the art of turning people into fertilizer than you ever will be. 1993 was 30 some years ago. The techg for killing people has improved drastically. You have no idea how many ways the US has to kill you. I saw things in 2005 that would still blow your mind.

    Technological advances do not change societal upheaval.

    Revolutions don't fight the military in symmetrical warfare.

    Militaries can defect, they can be sabotaged, their bases besieged, their supply lines disrupted, their forces stretched too thin, etc.

    In ideal circumstances no revolution would have to fight one united military. Parts would defect or declare neutrality. Those who fight have finite supply and finances. What will a soldier do when he runs out of bullets and more importantly rations?

    But in the absolute worst case, it will either lead to a more bloody victory or the military would have to literally depopulate the country with lethal force to establish their rule.

    Also the 90s are not so far from your 2005. The majority of the military equipment Russia uses today in Ukraine is the same as during the Black October in 93.

    Look, I literally don't care what you think. I spent a quarter of my life working for the army. You clearly don't have a very strong grasp on what your asking people to do.

    "In ideal circumstances no revolution would have to fight one united military. Parts would defect or declare neutrality. Those who fight have finite supply and finances. What will a soldier do when he runs out of bullets and more importantly rations?" -- This one is the real kicker. We bring ice cream trailers and fast food restaraunts to combat zones and you think the military is going to run out of basic rations. L-O-fucking-L

    Also what do Russia and Ukraine have to do with us fighting your hypothetical revolution?

    If you do not care, why share your shit opinion anyway?

    You seem to have no idea what actual war or revolutions are like if you think you'll have ice cream trucks drive up to you after bombing a city into the ground. Plundering a foreign country and getting food from home and fighting a civil war that disrupts if not outright destroys the economic base of the country that supplies your army are completely different things. I'm sure your Navy seal ass with over 300 confirmed kills would know that.

    Also what do Russia and Ukraine have to do with us fighting your hypothetical revolution?

    Because those see quite literally 90% the same military equipment. During the uprising and during the war now. If you can't see how that matters, then I don't know what to tell you.

    But I'm sure Mr. Crayon eater here knows better than the military leaders of actually successful revolutions of the past.

    Fist of all I was a medic. Secondly your dumb ass literally can't grasp how outclassed you tankies are. Your fucking retard if you think your "revolution" has a chance.

    I specifically don't care about YOUR opinion because its wrong. Maybe try a suicide vest. That worked out so well for the iraqis.

    I mean someone has to revive the homies when they get kncoked. Acording to my countrymen your the retard who shouldn't exist yet here I am wasting my time talking to someone who has never said a kind thing to me. All because you don't approve of my vision of the future and can't see the world how I see it. Maybe you should take a look in the mirror and realize your shooting your own cause in the foot.

    Funny how your suddenly not American.
