Schlichter to Biden: Before you stare a war, be sure you can finish it.

Kurt Schlichter has yet another essay bashing Biden for his constant threats to turn the, as Kurt calls them, the Air Farce against the American people. I alluded to some of the problems Biden might face if he tried to do such a thing. But Schlichter goes into more detail, and for the record, he should know. You can find Schlichter's article at Townhall.com entitled What Is Biden's Obsession With Using F-16s To Kill Other Americans?

Schlichter uses more of his trademark acerbic wit than usual in Biden and company. You can get a sense of it here:

Alleged president Joe Biden is on his “ban assault rifles'' kick again because the government apparently needs to keep firearms out of the hands of law-abiding citizens and in the hands of meth-addled whoremonger scumbags like his son. One constant component of this stumped stump speech is a line of nonsense that essentially boils down to us not needing real guns to fight government tyranny because the government – his government – will unleash the F-16s on you uppity peasants if you fail to obey your elite masters. I’m not persuaded by the argument that says, “You are crazy for thinking you need guns to resist tyranny and, also, we will murder you and your family if you attempt to resist tyranny.”

Eric Swalwell, the flatulent Chi-Com tramp-defiler – gotta credit Agent Fang2 for going above and beyond the call of booty – went even one better. Toots wanted to nuke us, so perhaps the demented dictator is just chill, limiting himself to unleashing the Air Farce on the American people. Yet one can sense a certain undercurrent of eagerness to get it on running through these unveiled threats against patriots as if the cretins uttering them have this secret desire to rid themselves of us troublesome rubes once and for all. How hard would they try to pass up the opportunity if it presented itself – actually hard, or Waco “Oh well, better light it up” hard? The senior leadership of the current woke military is probably willing to play along, though when they aren’t waving the pride flag, they are waving the white one. It’s been three decades since they won a war, and they probably feel that they are due.

But it remains unclear why military pseudo-professionals might think they will do better against 100,000,000 patriots here at home when the brass did so poorly against a few hundred thousand fanatical hill tribesmen half a globe away. At least a grizzled dust puppet like Biden has an excuse for being wrong – he was always stupid and evil and corrupt, and now he’s added a layer of senility to his bean dip o’ failure.

Julius Caesar famously overthrew a republic by crossing the Rubicon River with his legions behind him. And in many ways, the fascist far left has softened the ground for Biden's tyranny. But Caesar had an several advantages that Biden does not. One was that his legion was battle hardened, having won the French territory then called Gaul for Rome. Another was that he didn't have 100,000,000 patriots facing him. Let's see how Schlichter plays this out.

Putin’s Wagner problem provides an example of what happens when the folks you are counting on to do your dirty work start counting and realize that the numbers are on their side. But all mutinies are not openly mutinous. A little story, with the names omitted to protect the jerk involved: There once was this aviation battalion commander who was a real pain – just obnoxious – and then the battalion deployed to a combat zone. The commander continued being obnoxious, including to maintenance personnel. And suddenly, the unit operational readiness rate for the choppers dropped. This is bad. You do not want to be in a war zone and have to explain why 80% of your choppers are grounded. You can’t just order the aircraft ungrounded – you need to get the maintainers to maintain and sign off. But the OR rate kept dropping, and no amount of threats, screaming, and other fulminations could bring it up. The generals relieved the commander; oddly, the OR rate shot right up under the new CO. So, all resistance is not necessarily kinetic.

Now, there’s the tactical issue, and it’s delicate because the consequences of the threats the Delaware Dictator keeps making are seriously dank, but he opened the door, so let’s peer on in. Dementia Joe insists that an AR-15 is no use against an F-16, and this is just wrong. An AR-15 is very effective against the most vulnerable parts of the F-16. No, that does not mean a bunch of tacticool guys pumping rounds skyward when one flies over, hoping to knick a fuel cell. The most vulnerable parts of the F-16 are the guys feeding it, fueling it, and flying it. And if Biden is ordering his remaining troops to start dropping bombs on dissidents, that means he is ordering his remaining troops to start dropping bombs on the dissidents’ families. Do you expect folks whose kids got vaporized by a JDAM strike to be particularly picky about who they target in return? If you declare open season, dude, it’s open season. They say that war is hell for a reason. Maybe don’t start one.

As Schlichter notes, perhaps it would be a good idea before you start a war, that you can be sure you can finish it.
