>The moment the US left? That’s a different story. So in what scenario can the US military "leave" the US? You are pretty much proving the guy's point, no? Yes, the US military could scorch earth its backyard. Nobody really denies that. What would be impossible is maintaining that control for any meaningful amount of time. This is also assuming somehow that 100% of the military and 100% of its assets are on board with whatever "regime" comes to be, which I just don't see happening.
