you wouldn't even have to roll in, just destroy the roads and infrastructure and watch them starve to death.

I'm guessing them trying to detonate a nuclear weapon on US soil (via terrorist means) would result in the entire country being turned to green glass on account of the US feeling the use of nuclear weapons is now warranted.

No, I dont think their military is even semi relevant. because in 2-3 months they'd be riding horses anyway.

If there is one thing we do right in the USA, its building weapons to keep 3rd world countries in the 3rd world.

And no, this wouldnt be another soviet - iran style war, because unlike troops, Drones dont get tired or demoralized. They are run 24/7 by teams of nerds who go home at night to be replaced by someone else waiting to press the DIE DIE DIE button.

As bad as it sounds. I really wouldnt be against us killing an bombing if the general population got its share of the spoils, and the government called it the Imperialism that it really is. I'm mainly against it because our government sends our citizens to die for corporate profit and doesnt even give the troops a slice of the action.
