Jan 6 insurgents got pretty close to overthrowing the government. Imagine if they were armed.
Lol. I understand its symbolism, but let’s be real: they overwhelmed a building and barely clashed with poorly-staffed local police. In no reality were they in any way “close to overthrowing the government”.
Taliban tied up the US for 20 years in Afghanistan, look who is in charge now.
There’s a pretty big difference between wanting to conquer/occupy a region and helping a local population police it. Plus, once government and social support for US presence in Afghanistan dropped, someone was going to control it.
Your Federal Army isn’t going to do as well as you think it is.
It’s not “my” federal military, and I’m not supporting them. But anyone who thinks they can win a war against the US military on US soil is out of their mind.
Interesting. If the rioters shot at the police, law enforcement would respond with deadly force. A lot of y’alqadas would also get shot by other rioters. It would be a one sided blood bath.

They were armed. Not all of them but they did have guns.
