    Worst case scenario is nuclear anhilation

    Best case scenario, imperial core military gets spanked so hard there’s no one left to fight revolutionaries

    Insane shit

      there’s no one left to fight revolutionaries

      Domestically you mean? Because there’s still police, national guard, secret service, various special forces that aren’t deployed, FBI, etc

        True but imo that’s a lot less scary, at least for Europe. The police can’t bear to fight on equal grounds, whenever they don’t feel like they can safely bully people they quit. It happened with the Yellow Vest movement, despite them being disorganised and mostly non violent.

          Do EU countries have an analogue to national guard? French have Gendermerie and the foreign legion, what about the rest?

            Poland have WOT - Territorial Defence Force (although the polish acronym read in english is surprisingly accurate) - formation that was intended to be PiS private army, but as every single military endeavour of any Polish government after 1989 it failed its purpose and is currently made of 15 light infantry brigades with no heavier support. Considering how they are getting shat on by the professional soldiers, they are basically bodies with guns. Or, as Witcher book and game would put it:

              That’s both hilarious and sad. On the other hand, it’s still bodies with guns aimed at the revolution
