And I wonder just where the tax dollars are going come from to pay for those “surrounding fire stations” to stand ready and, if needed, fight fires inside the insurgent zone?? Surely the people living in the surrounding areas can’t be expected to pay. Why should their tax rates be increased to pay for the insurgent zone (I’m assuming that the insurgents refuse to pay taxes to the big, bad government).
I would just let fires burn in the insurgent zone and fight anything that comes out of that area. Maybe just spray viruses inside the zone and let the people all get sick and beg for medical help.
