A Marine explains which state would win if the US declared war on itself
business insider ^ | Jul. 27, 2015, 11:15 PM | Jon Davis, Quora

Posted on 05/13/2018 4:04:06 AM PDT by ATOMIC_PUNK

We recently came across the following question on Quora: "If every state of the USA declared war against each other, which would win?" We've published the full answer from Quora user Jon Davis, a Marine veteran who is now a writer and blogger on military, veterans, and Middle Eastern affairs. In Oct. 2014, Davis' answer was optioned by a Hollywood producer for a potential television series.

These are the accounts of the Second American Civil War, also known as the Wars of Reunification and the American Warring States Period.

“Yup, we would have to wipe out Chicago first.”.........

Not to worry, Chicago is already working on that all by themselves.

Sounds like the “Deep State” is planting the seeds in hopes of getting the states against each other. First it was the blacks against everyone else ESPECIALLY the police, now its state against state. Will this foolishness ever end?

What a piece of non-nonsensical fantasy by a women writer, all to promote a women savior in the end. Aming other things, as if Russia and China etc, would not take advantage of any internecine war of anything close to to what is described, as well as liberal lust for totalitarian control (the spiritual battle btwn opposing ideologies is not even mentioned as the real battle), and as if individual state control of B2 bombers, etc. would be a great advantage apart from space assets requiring Federal network.

Most but not all....some are disbursed in the southern states and some in the SE US at the sub base in Ga.

The premise is stupid. States would form confederations. Why would Arkansas fight Oklahoma?

Indeed. If anything, it would be more like blues stats vs. red states, but the Federal government has made states so dependent upon them that secession seems untenable.

If the states were allowed to keep the weapons currently within their borders, North Dakota would roll.

Indeed. Pennsylvania is the second largest energy producer after Texas and exports a lot to large cities on the east coast.

Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota. That is where the nukes are.

That's what we want everyone to think. Everyone please forget about PanTex. And Tennessee still has Oak Ridge, Louisiana has Barksdale, Missouri has Whiteman....

Winger: C’mon, it’s Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick ‘em up, we zip right out again. We’re not going to Moscow. It’s Czechoslovakia. It’s like we’re going into Wisconsin.

Russell: Well, I got the shit kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it.

“Quora user Jon Davis, a Marine veteran who is now a writer and blogger on military, veterans, and Middle Eastern affairs. In Oct. 2014, Davis’ answer was optioned by a Hollywood producer for a potential television series.”

I belonged to Quora and had a helluva time leaving it. I hate that site, I hate those people. I got the stupidest questions in the world there. And I had to sign up to pose a networking question almost a decade ago. Nothing good comes from Quora...***************

Quora has little use. The questions are clearly written by illogical (literally) people who, when they get an answer, can’t fathom the answer.

I have a weak math background (my PhD is not in math) and a strong science and medical background (PhD and DVM). The questions submitted to me are generally in line with my strengths but then there are some that just boggle my mind.

I used to have fun answering the questions but not much anymore. The questions become iterative to the 10th power. If the question has already been addressed in the main, I do not repeat myself. The thoughtful and unique questions I do spend some time on.

Otherwise, I leave it alone rather like most conjecture I read about our “future CWII”...

...like the marine vet who has some hysterically funny ideas about what our civil war will look like. I think he might be a tad old or hasn’t been reading in this area. I don’t know that, of course, but Celerity has the narrative that makes more sense.

Upstate NY wouldn’t roll over. But there’s too few of us left up here to do much except engage in some guerilla activity. But what the heck, worked for Washington.

The next civil war in this country will not be states against states.

It will be the red areas against the blue areas, mainly the big blue metropolitan cities against the red rural and suburban communities.

And guess who has all of the guns and experience fighting between those two factions?

If things really got serious, it would be over before it started.

Snowflakes would melt faster than they could say micro-aggression.

Maryland wouldn’t stand a chance if Pennsylvania crossed the Mason Dixon line.

And remember, the blue areas don’t produce stuff. NY city, Washington DC, Sanfrancisco . They all went Green and don’t even produce their own electricity. Nevada and Arizona could pull the plug and turn the lights out on California.
