What if these riots are exercises to collect intel for invasion? Testing the resolve to take matters into our own hands and fight back as a unified force? If they can basically burn our neighborhoods down with impunity using useful idiots and only get a meager NG deployment, whats to keep them from just taking over a state or two with some planning and some well equipped professionals? Cornered rats have nothing to lose and holding an area with a large population and key critical resources hostage seems doable if they're convinced no general uprising would be encountered.
