It would be hard to say what would happen in the US's case. The military would certainly undergo an inner purge in favor of one side or the other, and I can imagine that many southern and western states would try to split. The problem is that martial force here is a bit modular...

Besides which, not all of our 'kooks' would be dumb enough to fight back with a frontal assault, and a good deal of them actually have military training.

The PRC isn't as bad as the other two.  I mean for example, anything from the PRC to Ocenia.

Anyways - I said it best in one of my blogs:

Listen buddy, if you try to conquer this country, I’ll stand at the gates of freaking Los Angeles with a shotgun and a 2×4 with nails sticking out of it, along with the rest of the free people of America. We are a plural nation dipshit, so go to Saudi Arabia.

Mixture of the last 2. Hide in the woods with the various gun-toters in nearby Virginia. Get the Army and USMC units around here to help us out. Then... we strike.

Or we can make like General MacArthur and leave the US, saying we will return. We then make a huge fuckin' force and come back.

Agreed.  The militia are not fighting for freedom, their fighting for a fundamentalist tyrannical dictatorship run by Mullahs and Imams rather than politicians.

I guess it would be a mix of the two.  Hide in the wilderness and from there launch geurilla warfare.

dunno, really. if we are talking about our own government turning tyrannical, as has been said, those changes don't happen overnight, so I'd fight it politically before it happens.
if it happens anyway, my decision would depend on the question wether there is a realistic chance of leading a successful guerilla war against the government and have a revolution. If a revolution is the will of the people, then it will happen, and I'd probaby be part of it.
On the other hand, if the people didn't do anything to stop the government from turning tyrannical in the first place, it is rather unlikely that they'd engage in a guerilla war immediately.
The whole scenario is a bit constructed.

Honestly though, if the country I was living in went down a road that I didn't approve of, and there was no chance for political change, I'd probably pack my bags and leave for good.

It's always easy to say that one would fight for freedom until the death if you don't actually have to do it...

Get out.

Best option. The line between bravery and stupidity is thin.

Barring that, non-violent dissent is the best option for me.
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

If you beat their ass bad enough the first time you don't have to worry about another go. Then you can build a McDonald's on every corner and say to hell with "fighting fit" condition.

Just make sure you've got a big enough sack to relax. Lest you end up in the forest throwing molotov cocktail at passing M1 Abrams.

Sort of like Germany.  The people liked the Nazis when they came to power.  Most western countries are too freedom loving to be like that.
