Well, how did that work out in Afghanistan?

Spoiler: it didn’t.

We had twenty years and all the drones and all the ordinance couldn’t solve the issue.

I’m not singling out america here, mind you. Every conventional military struggles against guerrilla warfare.

Any chance you could read the article?

How has technology changed since we pulled out of Afghanistan?

I’m asking this as former signals intelligence that was deployed to Afghanistan.

How has technology changed?

Neat. And what happens when average people have to defend themselves?

You’re probably going to say something about how average people can’t stop a major military, right?

But like… Afghanistan and Iraq and Vietnam have shown otherwise. The Taliban (and various affiliated groups) held out for twenty years. So yeah I think average people can do a lot.

Ukraine probably disagrees with your logic.

The idea was to put a limb across the spokes and then hit it between the spokes.

Broken on the wheel. That’s more or less what it meant.
