In DRC, Burundi and Syria, government security forces are
targeting specific tribes or ethnic groups, results in millions
of civilians fleeing their homes and sometimes their country
to escape government violence targeting civilians, including
women and children.
If someone on Breitbart made the argument you're making, I would
assume that he was a paid troll of one of those countries, or that you
just wanted to bash America, and I would probably be right.
At any rate, nothing that happened in America even remotely resembled
that. There were no security forces targeting specific tribes or
ethnic groups, and there were no women and children fleeing their
homes for another country to escape government violence. That only
happens when the preceding crisis war was a civil war between tribes
or ethnic groups within the same country. It's obviously impossible
when the preceding war was an external war, because the war enemies
are in a different country. This isn't rocket science.
Are the crackdowns always on the losing side in the preceding crisis war?
I note that Mugabe was forced to resign as Nixon was, suggesting there are still similarities between awakening patterns.
Do you have an example of a first world country with an internally directed crisis war and subsequent bloody crackdowns, so we can differentiate between the effects of internal versus external crisis wars and the effects of development level?
