If the Red states seceeded

[Two Thumbs]

America would be far better off without these deadbeat states.

-They are the real takers
-They hold America back
-They're third world

You'd starve to fucking death w/o the Midwest and south.

fucking leftists are so goddamn dumb it's shocking

No we wouldn't....and what would your Midwest and South do with your grown food? Keep it and let it rot or sell it to us for pay for the infrastructure of your "new" country?

Are you mental?

I've lived in the Midwest, south, and north east.

I can assure you, your #1 import would be our food.

Let's say that in the U.S., the rural Midwest along with a chunk of the rural South and Alaska seceded form the Union. Let's say the rural Midwest plus the Dakotas all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico (including Texas) plus Alaska. They're not trying to overthrow the existing government of the U.S. and dictate life to the remaining part of the country, simply trying to leave and start their own government. Now, their reasons for doing so have nothing to do with anything anywhere near as morally reprehensible as slavery. Let's say it actually IS economic reasons that caused this situation in this particular case.

If you were President of the U.S., would you send in the tanks, the infantry, and the planes to carpet bomb cities like Minneapolis MN and Lincoln NE to the ground and basically kill enough of them to the point where they agree to come back against their will in chains and vow to be part of your nation again as long as you promise to stop killing them and their families?

I would suggest a non-violent alternative. We could use economic sanctions to prevent them from trading with anyone. That's right, no goods in or out of the their country. We would starve them out. They would come back before their families died and beg to become part of the Union again. They would have only an isolated geographical region. There are certain crops such as olives, coconuts, and pineapples that they simply cannot grow in sufficient numbers. I would use their lack of sufficient agricultural diversity to make them understand why we need each other.

Why by states? Why not by counties?

Plenty of Good Americans buried in blue states by overflowing slums that vote dem over 100%.


This way they could be with the good people who are like them,

and not want a be tyrants, who fantasize about starving them.

RP... a little dose of reality is in order.

You were probably not even a gleam in your grandpa's eye when the "Arab Oil Embargo" hit and for the first time ever gas went over 50 cents a gallon.

Your socialist gov't went to rationing via an odd even system.

Texas along with Oklahoma were seriously discussing stopping all exports of oil, via pipeline closures, to the Peoples Republics of NJ, NY and New England.

Your Imperial Gubmit located in the District of Corruption did threaten Military action if such an event occured.

Most of the US Military is made up men and women from the South and West.

Sixty percent of the Army's manpower comes from the South.

Good luck with your Invasion to bring us back into the Imperial fold.
