The hostility toward your comment proves the point: Americans willl only understand when their own cities suffer the same fate

Ironically, that prospect is approaching with each passing year

I regret to inform you that this is not how the cycle of violence works. As the US itself has repeatedly found, inflicting violence on people makes them more supportive of violence, both because you’ve taught them it’s a legitimate tool and because many of them want revenge on you.

I didn't mean violence, i specifically said "fate"

US states literally have been built on the motto "come and take it." Americans have been the most common foreign volunteers to die in places like Ukraine and Syria.

Invading America would be like invading Afghanistan. If you wrestle a pig, expect they might even enjoy it. And yes I have fought in a civil war, I know what it's like, even without the advantage of American weapon, so no need to go down the road of me not understanding the implications. It would only embolden us, we wouldn't learn the lesson you're thinking.
