Your reply made me laugh.
I just recently watched the “World at War” series (most of it) and there were mentions of “the government in exile” for Belgium and France.
The “government” leaves and the people have to stay behind to fight and die.
They showed these “governments” returning after the Germans were driven out. I would have wanted them all hung.
That’s my biggest fear if someone nukes the US. Some damned continuity of government program will work. And we will emerge from the rubble a few weeks later and some silly SOB in a suit will stand up and assure us that the US government has survived.
We ought to at least get a new government outta the deal.
