I was thinking to myself a couple of days ago, about what people might think, If The U.S.A was not the super Power instead it was Russia,... To intall its "sovreignity" and "Liberate" Americans, Russia would Invade The U.S to install what they say is a liberation to its people (God forbids all this, we all know that it cant happen) And Russia Imidiately Installs a "Sovreign Government" But Wouldn't Americans offer any resistance, To Throw out The enemy and if it did, Wouldn't Those be referred to as Insurgents and Terrorists by the politically controlled media? Wouldnt Americans consider civilians that cooperate with the enemy as Traitors? Just a thought ... Everyone be respectful and answer maturely (I will report Abuse)

You've got a good point bro. I think those are just propaganda words. After all, we are the invading army. Shouldn't we be referred to as terrorists. Don't get me wrong now, I've been in the Marines and the Army. I was in Dessert Storm and one tour in Iraq and one tour in Afghanistan and have nothing against what we are doing over there.

If you are talking about a possibility when Russia, under the current democratically elected government, depose the present (or previous) occupants of the White House, well... You see, the difference is that Iraq's deposed government didn't try to impose a New World Order or anything. So yes, resisters to an American government, installed by Russia, would be considered as insurgents and terrorists.

The world is truly a f'd up place and the U.S is a "superpower" a truly sad label. and with freedom comes a terrible price take a good look at America's past. People who wanted freedom from an oppressive rule when freedom Finlay was achieved there was civil war sound familiar nothing is perfect everything is ugly but that's just how life works no matter how much of us would wish the world could be a peace and free world without all the violence and chaos that affects our disgusting ways.

till we start up reducing the heads off harmless prisoners we are able to be in basic terms natives resisting invasion. A terrorist is strictly that " one which commits acts that produce terror" A soldier who shoots an invading enemy soldier is a soldier. A soldier who captures an enemy soldier and disembowels him collectively as putting him from a tree, is a terrorist. it truthfully relies upon on the form you play the activity.

It's all in how the media spins it. If you decided to take a stand for something you believed in, but was against what the government says is "legal" why do they storm your "compound" and arrest you.

Insurgents yes, terrorists, it depends. If it happened, and the insurgents for instance starting using fear in an attempt to control people, they would by definition be terrorists.

Of course. Look at what the British said about our shooting from behind trees during the Revolution instead of standing out in the field and fighting British style.
So what is your point? People use propaganda terms and fight with all means necessary.

they sure would be and I would be one of them till I die or get my country back. We can't really blame them for hating us, I'd do the same thing if it were my country and I'm sure I'm not alone. I think china is a bigger threat though, people in the military have been talking about an inevitable war with them for years. They're already tainting their exports with poisons and materials that do not pass quality standards, who knows what they're gonna do next. It really would not surprise me to see a war fought on united states soil before I die.

Well an insurgent is a terrorist, someone who kills wrecklessly and aims to harm CIVILIANS, the difference being here is terrorists vs militia.

Well, it depends. The change may benefit some people.
Believe it or not, not everyone has it golden in the U.S.
If the changes they made benefited me, I'd go with them.
Why wouldn't you?
