Under normal circumstances I agree. If things went really sideways… look at how well insurgencies around the world have resisted the US military in urban settings.
Loads and loads of armed angry people with home court advantage are hard to defeat unless you are willing to just flatten the city. Drones might change that calculus some, but against a large insurgency in a huge city of millions?
If we are flattening our own cities, we are so far gone we are in climbing barbed wire to get across the border (in the out direction) territory. Some of my ancestors on my dad’s side did that in WWII to escape Stalin and Hitler both. I hope to never see such things.
