Are you kidding me? They already have. What do you think happened in Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan? There’s also countless other places where we technically didn’t engage but we supplies the goods of war and the training while also actively destabilizing countries.
We are slipping into authoritarianism. Constant war, insurrection, rebellions, pograms, poverty, etc generally go with authoritarianism and theocracies.
How many people are already talking about civil war with glee on the regular here in the States?
What’s happening in Ukraine is in a sense unique to Ukraine. No military action or war is ever exactly the same. I don’t think she was suggesting an invasion from Canada or Mexico by her statement that what happened in Ukraine could happen here. I think she meant war that forces large swaths of the population to flee and civilians being targeted could happen here. It could.
Absolutely it could.
If we descend entirely into fascism and authoritarianism it will. After all, they won’t be nice about it. They will attempt to crush any and all resistance. You’re either kidding yourself if it think it won’t be that way, or turning a willful blind eye because it won’t be you.
