>Civil War
this would involve two opposing state actors, it would imply states formerly seceding from the union again and attempting to operate independently, increasing racial tensions would just cause a bunch of violent gangs to crop up at best. The first American Civil War was ultimately started because Slave Owners had a significant amount of wealth and power within Southern Politics and had a vested interest in defending slavery as an institution because it was their livelihood. The KGB were on some kind of drugs when they came up with this scheme

Yes, it was something of a fluke that things went so peaceful in the US historically. Maybe it wouldn't get to a full war on the level of Yugoslavia, but something like the northern Ireland troubles would've been easy to cause.

Civil war just means a war between citizens. But if you're intent of hiding behind some retarded claim about semantics it can just be called an insurrection, civil unrest or whatever instead.

>>18438726
no civil war starts because people randomly starts to shoot each other, you need at least two organised groups(like in any other war) deciding to take actions against each other

>>18438734
Literally anyone can organise a group, it doesn't need to be connected to the government.
See the black power movement, KKK, etc.

>>18438652
interesting

>>18438652
Didn't they kill that Circassian SS veteran Tscherim Soobzokov in New Jersey which was blamed on the Jewish Defence League?

>>18438741
Was the Oklahoma bombing a civil war as well? Ruby Ridge?

>>18440415
Oklahoma was the kind of things which could in hindsight be seen as a domestic flare-up which could lead to one, just like the antebellum decades. Bleeding Kansas could count as a civil war in its own right, and it was chaotic as hell.

>>18440432
Bleeding Kansas occurred in unincorporated territories, not an actual state
Please learn history before typing on the board dedicated to history

>>18440441
How is that relevant and how does it contradict the fact that preludes to a national civil war can involve chaotic decentralized action?

>>18438652
It almost happened in 2020. The country was one bad day away from a Yugoslavia style breakup. Thankfully things cooled down

>>18438734
American Indian Movement, Black Panthers and Jewish Defence League all existed along with Ku Klux Klan groups and American Nazi Party.

>>18440595
Nah it was actually closer during the Biden admin when Texas prohibited feds from accessing border points during operation Lone Star

>>18440595
Not even close.

>>18440444
So if there is more than a dozen men shooting at each other it is a civil war? Are gang shooting civil wars as well?

>>18441282
Of course not, no one's claiming that. Stop being deliberately retarded.
>Are gang shooting civil wars as well?
Don't tell me you've never heard the term "gang war" but they sometimes can be, look at Haiti. Depends on the wider situation and what their aims are.
