Unlike Greece, the US has an FBI with virtually unlimited budgeting, a National Guard which is basically the internal military, as well as the DHS and local police forces. This along with a tech surveillance apparatus only rivaled by China. So while this war rationale might possibly work in the US (did it really work to well in Greece? Not that convinced). Then there's the issue of who is this "we" carrying this asymmetrical warfare, in a context where you got plenty of White supremacist, conservative militias willing to also wage their "war", even if their attempts are usually a joke, they're way more "effective" at mass-murdering unarmed peaceful civilians than State assets. Boogaloo bois are interesting but then again they're not exactly anarchist.

My take is "go Machiavelli". So soft on hard power, and be ruthless on soft power. Be a wolf when an enemy expects a sheep, and vice versa.
