Sounds like a George Soros goal
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.
No one would win.
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.
Alaska would win.
First off the southern states won’t war against each other they will band together. It’s a cultural thing.
Take a look at your local Home Depot. MOST American males have a difficult time walking from the parking lot to the store and back.
I would call it a draw for just about any state.
I would think Alaska might be up towards the top. No group of Americans is going to hoof it to Alaska. And they don’t want to come down here.
So it’s a draw.
We all win if the illegals self deport.
AZ and UT will not be pitted against the TX axis. They will be joined, take NM.
The entire premise of all the states duking it out against each other ( imagine MO trying to win anything on an 8 state front?).
If anthing occurs regarding total breakdown of fedgov influence, regions that have interstate ties and mutual aid/benefit capabilities would band together. TX, LA, MS AL FL all have ports, Upper MW and MW has resoures and lines of communications t the Southern regions, oil, NG raw materials, manufacturing etc all enabled by the big rivers, but also bounded by natural obstacles like the Rockies and desert SW, Mississippi R & Appalachian’s to the east, cold zone to the north. West coast has much of the same, east coast too. Cities would be the toads n the roads, feral populations who cannot produce much internally, food, shortages etc. farmers markets, hunting fishing are the local rural personal resource, wood, water in abundance. close in rural areas would be predated for some time while fuel remained, but rural folks shoot first, shovel second. It would not take long for rural defense forces to form, and begin road blocking.
Example- 12 of 14 neighbors with a two mile radius of me are retired veterans, all hunt fish ranch or farm and can cover one anther with fires from the porch in most cases. A all wx creek runs through the valley, lots of forest but clear field so fire, only two roads transect the local valley, we know one anther and have similar cultural backgrounds. I think we’d do okay. One diesel shop, a veterinarian, a MD, a NP, engineer, welding shop, one guy has a 100 kw generator ready to plug into the grid and 5000 g of diesel ( the mechanic) says we would run it two hours a day for 6 months for water pumping/necessities etc. Over 150 cattle on the pastures, everyone grows fruit and veggies and cans. We all have generators chainsaws and (some of us have) decent amounts of gasoline on hand. Since jobs would go, we all would have time on hand to watch and cover while we tend to truck production and such. I doubt the Sherriff would be trying to evict us either once we all defaulted on mortgages.
Replicate that scenario times a million or two rural enclaves. Compare to the city folks.... they’d be starving in a week, out of water in a month or less (most get water from rural areas, and that requires a presence and power to pump) and fighting each other for scraps...
Once fuel ran out, we would be accustomed to less anyway, so we would do fine.
California would lose big time because they would be waiting for the completion of the high speed rail system to transport troops.
They would also quickly find their water supply cut off.
And their electrical system cut off.
And finally, it would take them years to get their state EPA approvals for mortars and grenades.
The only reasonable part in the whole story...
“Riots in Chicago began to erupt as the people accused the government of corruption, which for all purposes was true. Seeing the coming of the end, much of the Chicago legislature slipped out in the night and booked passage to Montreal on private planes.”
nonsense.
nearly immediately the following would happen:
economic activity would cease.
Power would go out
internet would go out
Water/Sewer cease to function
Transportation/Mobility highly restricted
Then it would be neighbor against neighbor for the last can of soup
Then mass starvation. The lucky ones would be refugees able to walk out of the most impacted areas, more than likely most would be kept pinned down in cities where they would starve, die of thirst and disease.
Simple answer is Kansas. Nobody except for Missouri holds a grudge against them and the Army at Ft. Riley is big enough to hold them back.
A great read....hopefully the tv series doesn’t get turned liberal and stays true to regional alliances.
I’ll go with my home state of Iowa. We have the Mississippi moat on the east and the Missouri moat on the west. We’ll just tell the Minnesotans that it’s too darned hot down here in the south, and the Missourians that it’s too cold way up here in the north....
“The trail faded and we see that the vaults are all completely empty. Every last bar, every last ounce is gone. “
POTUS Trump, please order an audit of FT. Knox before you leave office.
The whole premise is ridiculous. There are two Americas, not fifty, with the suburbs in between. There is blood red countryside in every state, that go overwhelmingly Republican in every election cycle.
In virtually any SHTF scenario, the big cities in each state will become morgues, with local warlords controlling the countryside between to keep stragglers from making organized raids deep into red territory.
The battlegrounds, as in the elections, would be the suburbs. That’s most of the hand-to-hand would take place.
Catching fireflies and seeing the EMP event followed by:
"I don't know,Sweetie. We need to get back into the house before it gets too cold."
