This was a silly read. It would not be region against region. It would be city against rural. The war, as most do, would break down into who gives up the soonest in the face of starvation, lack of water and electricity, lack of medical supplies.
Oil products (diesel and gasoline especially) would not be available and movement of goods would grind to a halt. Factories would shut down without inputs and outputs. Widespread electrical outages everywhere. It would be disease and famine claiming most, not warfare.
Absolutely correct.
I remember two years ago when the major gasoline pipeline between Texas and New York (Colonial Pipeline) was severed somewhere near Birmingham, Alabama.
Within a week, prices shot up by $.50-1.00 and many gas stations ran out of gas, especially around Atlanta.
Now imagine who controls the pipeline, and what they’d do to it, if every state was on their own.
Also, I don’t agree that the country would be divided into 50 republics. Alliances would form immediately. The writer starts his piece with Texans discriminating against Oklahomans, who would, in reality, from the very beginning, be citizens together in a greater alliance.
One word: Oil. Whoever controls the oil,wins. Texas!
