No. After 20 years of fighting, we got the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. (Also FWIW the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.)

The English didn't blockade the Spanish Armada at their docks. They attacked the clustered enemy under favorable conditions on the English coast.

Perhaps. Hard to say how it might happen. But if I had to guess, it'd probably involve weapons of some sort.

No, in a pretty common pattern, and with the difference that fighting for your freedom and having popular support around the AO vs being some scum of the earth dictator government makes.

I'm not sure why gun nuts think they will be seen as the good guys if the regime will control army, law and media and have some degree of popular support.
This doesn't have to be botox. It might be just horse tranquiliser followed by detention and whatever passes as due process in the future.
So we got United States of Vietnam now?

Ah so the plan is to camp with guns around military bases an shoot at whatever comes out? I predict great success.

So in a really unaticipated way and with unimaginable dose of luck.
