I don’t think the US will go unscathed....

I think you probably meant to say:

I don’t think the US homeland will go unscathed....

[virgil]

Yes, I meant the mainland, or other American interests. There are many modalities for attack. Nuclear, biological, and chemical as well as conventional. All can be delivered on missiles.Now we have cyber attacks that take out our power grid, our transportation system, commerce, and other infrastructure.

I too see war coming. I have for some time. We have become complacent—we have developed a case of “Bodybagaphobia” We want wars with no American deaths. Its OK to beat up 3rd world nations but what happens when we have a real war against powers equal to us? What happens in a war like that—US vs Russia/cuba/Iran Will England join us or sit back? What of Europe? My guess they will stand by and do zip. Maybe Canada may help us—but will Mexico? This time we could lose. Starvation will haunt the land. What will Americans do when they see our carriers roll over in flames taking thousands to Davy Jones Locker? What will happen with the grid down? The Internet gone, TV gone? We will come together but will it be too little, too late? I don’t think the USA will break up—but we may well lose Alaska and Hawaii and Guam, maybe even Purto Rico (to Cuba/Russia) Lose a few battles and China will turn on us for a place at the peace table and a cut of the pie. Maybe out of this conflict a new and better world will come.
