Which is what I would suggest. No country could currently defeat the USA in a
stand-up fight. So disperse your army globally and take out US-interest soft
targets: embassies, companies, tourists, registered shipping, anything that
flies a US flag.

The losses would be sickening, and it makes me nauseous to think about the
scenario. Especially if army elements managed to get on US soil.

I see serious problems regarding command, control, communications, and
morale of the dispersed army in such a situation. I also see another
serious problem, in that you are buying yourself potential war with
_every_ country that your dispersed army is operating on -- other
countries are unlikely to take a very positive attitude towards your
"soldiers" (they would more likely be viewed as "terrorists" or
"homicidal maniacs") blowing themselves up on their soil to attack
Americans.

What is likely is that most of your "army" would defect or desert, a
few attacks would be carried out alienating virtually the whole world
against one, and your regime would finish their lives as criminals
wanted by pretty much every country on Earth.

Sincerely Yours,
Jordan
