A 2025 Retrospective.
-
Ah, so he's six weeks off...
-
He makes a good point here, Jolly, doncha think?
As Lincoln had long insisted, the controversy that brought on the Civil War was the question of whether slavery was right or wrong. The seceding states took a stand for its rightness, and the Union states took a stand for its wrongness.
-
I tell you what, if the same crack team organizes the secession as organized the lawsuits, you're going to be drinking your own urine before Easter.
-
I've seen the scenario war gamed out multiple times...Unless the American military can be talked into the wanton, wholesale killing of rural Americans, the cities will not last 12 months.
-
Personally, I prefer fantasizing that I'm B J Blazkowicz. Killing Nazis is way more fun than killing Americans.

Kind of fun "what if " article, but that is all it is.
Each part of the US contributes to the success of the US, and without each other, the rurals and the cities would not be able to survive.

I wouldn't mind it if California and the New England area got kicked out.
You'd probably want to lose New York too, if it wasn't the birthplace of the Great Man.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Not really.
There's more industrial capacity than you might think in smaller cities and towns, far away from the coasts. And a lot depends on how the more rural areas of California .
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Sacrifices must be made.
-
The idea that New England doesn't contribute significantly to the success of the US as a whole is a pretty foolish one.

Didn't say that.
Read the scenario again.
-
I realise that's not what the scenario says.
"Tom Trenchard is an American professor"
I wonder what he's a professor of. I'm guessing it's not history.

I am sure they is true, but I think it is also true that independent rural US + independent city US is much less than the two combined as one actual country.

But the question is which one can do without the other?

Without people to pay for and eat their food, farmers aren't actually going to survive for very long.
So, you can split the country in two, but they're still going to be totally reliant on one another.

What do the cities have that the rural counties do not have?
The natural resources are in the more rural parts of the country. So are the refineries. And the small towns and cities are not bereft of manufacturing.
And, if COVID gas shown us anything, a city is not needed an intellectual nexus or even a financial hub.
