They don't intend open combat like that. At least not at first. Only after they land troops through NY, CA, and pushed in through the southern and northern (Canada) borders. All at the same time, race war, civil war, locked down society, sleeper cell activations of muslims, rampant disease by injection, destroyed and corrupted military, and the WHO and UN is called in to save us. Who runs them? Add to this, starvation. But this is why they've been pushing to destroy gun rights so hard. Because they know resistance is a question of degrees.
