Great article. The one thing that would be new to a total breakdown of the US is the roll of WMDs in a civil war. In Iraq they used gas to wipe out hostile towns. But gas, bio and especially nukes work much better against high density cities than they do against dispersed rural communities. With 10k nukes up for grabs it would be a fair bet that at least a few would get into the hands of people crazy/ruthless enough to use them. Pop a 1.5mt bomb over New York, LA and Chicago and suddenly the numbers game being played by the progressives doesn't look so good.

That reminds me of the scenario of CWII in the John Titor story where the Russians and Red Chinese panic and nukes some of our cities and the rural, conservative side of CWII is grateful, in a way, to them for doing it.

John Titor Story

Now the libs can use BIO. They have the research labs and hospitals to deal with an outbreak. People in the hills don't. And if they come into town to get the vaccine they get captured. Come into town and go to the gulag, or die of plague out in the wilderness. All out war should scare the living heck out of anyone.

I'd say that is possible, it depends what they have that they can use. The only "good" thing about biowarfare is that is does not discriminate so it could backfire on them.

Smallpox was what I was thinking of. It is easy to produce and weaponize. The vaccine is cheap and 100% effective. But if you don't have the vaccine you are suffering 50% death rates.
