F15s, or any other aircraft, are of minimal use against irregular forces.
Twenty years of war in Afghanistan, ten more years of Russian warfare against the Mujahideen, and the war in Iraq all are grim testimony to that.
The 21st century has been one which charts the limits of air power. Both sides have largely abandoned the contest for air supremacy in Ukraine. I submit this is not a coincidence.

The principles and dynamics of asymmetric warfare are not exclusive to any one nation.
If civil war is to come to the United States, we can learn a lot about how it will likely unfold by studying Afghanistan and Iraq, and the insurgencies in both.
Won't make any difference, they have already mapped out the areas to target. Do you think it matters to them if they kill some of their supporters too. The "insurrection" must be stopped at all or any cost. Why do you think Slow Sleepy Joe mentioned it, because he has already sat in on the planning.
These people are Marxists! And we the people have guns!

And air forces stay out of the mess, will ours?
Won't matter. Air power against ground forces requires those ground forces be fixed in place by opposing ground forces.
Asymmetric tactics rely heavily on mobility, which deprives air power of good targets.

Anyway, we agree to disagree.
