Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

-or-

Who will guard the gaurds.


Perhaps this could have fit under the conspiracy theory forum, but this is more of a hypothetical question, rather than a theory of why. And the question that I will ask at the end of this OP should be addressed from an international point of view.


I've been reading the threads on the new dicision on the 2nd Amendment by SCOTUS, and I keep reading about a "well regulated militia." That in order to maintain this militia, Americans need access to guns. I'm not going to address the interpretation of the phrase, as that has been done numerous times in numerous threads already. Instead let's ask a more fundamental question:

Can a well regulated militia, stand up to the worlds most powerful military? Especially within thier own borders, and have access and control of thier roads and other modes of transportation.

The whole purpose of the militia is to make sure that our states have thier soverignty, but I find this quite impossible to enforce, if the need arises.

Civilians are not allowed to have fighter jets and tanks. If the federal army wanted to isolate a militia, they could do it in a second by cutting off all the roads and close the airspace with thier jets and tanks. How can a milita fight against this?

The fact is this: The US army can suppress a revolt within thier own borders with relative ease given our military superiority.

Now...HYPOTHETICALLY, if the US becomes all Nazi-like and begins to militarize itself domestically, who will come to our aid? What foreign country will bring freedom to us? Which foreign country would benefit from helping us? What would be the motivation (monetary/political)?

Who do you think may come to our aid?
