How would a national divorce work with our nuclear arsenal that is currently in place?

Nuclear missile silos are dispersed across the country. Is a national divorce even possible with such a precarious task like dividing up WMD’s between the two sides?

I hear a lot about a hypothetical “national divorce” as the preferred alternative to all out civil war. Although, I have not yet heard of a solution to this particular hang up.

It won't happen in the next several decades if ever, so that's nothing to worry about.

Hypotheticals are always a little too hard for the PT board, I think.

I hope you are right, but I worry

There’s an old saying that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

At some point, we all need to remember that we are Americans first, And whatever party we feel behold to second. It’s not the folks who did what they did four years ago, It’s the ones who knew exactly what it was when it happened, Still know exactly what it is today, And yet Sit idly by While others continue to lie about it.

Liberals are always talking about how bad weapons of war are, so it only makes sense for the conservatives to take them.

Truth .


I met way more rednecks living in Calif than i ever did living in Louisiana ..worked at a place only 30 or 40 min inland from the coast, baws would come to work every day driving duallys and blasting country music, on the weekend they’d all be in the desert riding dune buggies.. not really my scene, but made me realize that the whole “i wish CA would fall into the ocean” thing is just pure ignorance .

I don't see how there can be a civil war, but I could see a bunch of anarchists (like the IRA in Ireland) really cause problems, maybe take the country down economically. City vs Country doesn't really jive as some cities are pretty much 50/ 50 split Republican/ Democrat like Phoenix where I live...I don't think any normal person is up to go fight their neighbors or do them harm because of politics...Things would have to be really, terribly bad...

If 9/11 proved anything what really can hurt the country is by impacting the economy... Anarchists could really do a number if for instance they took out power grids, airports, water supplies, food supplies, hack corporations, shut down major transport routes, etc...I mean it could really mess up the country bad and change our way of life for a really long time...

But, what might come out of something like that is times so bad that people finally wake up and start to unite and try to make the country better.

It always has been. How many country folk working the land in rural New York in 1861 just to survive you think really wanted to go leave their farm and village/ borough to go risk being killed to fight the Southern folk who were just working the land to survive in Southern Alabama?

It was the group think, puritan, narcissist Yankees who wanted to use the wealth of the government to enrich themselves and wield power to start wars whenever they deemed to do so.

It really is no different 160 years later. "Educated" goobers in cities using groupthink to believe Putin will not stop at Ukraine and take over all of Europe believe we need to do something at the expense of sending you and or your children out to war for their cause.

No problem, we let them have the Nukes and of course since they hate Nuclear they will disband them and bring in tons of Sodomites and all die off from some perverts disease.

What we have in NYS, San Fran, East Coast and West coast is the exact same thing that made Greece and Rome fall, an immoral peoples, who love to tax others and dictate to others, but do so whilst not understanding the moral codes of God.

Don't think this Trans movement is new, the godess Diana had a cast serving her in the temple, they were neither men nor women, but "sexless" so to speak, they even preformed operations 2300 years ago to bring this to pass, so nothin g is new under the sun.

This is the truth.

I'll never understand why Alabama and Georgia (or southern states as a whole) get shite on for "rednecks" when I've seen far more trashy people in California, New York, Pennsylvania and even Florida. Like Alabama doesn't hold a candle to the number of Kid Rock looking people I saw just in the Bay Area alone.

It wouldn't work on an infinite number of levels, well before you get to the nuclear arsenal.

They're useless if they can't be assembled.

Pantex in the TEXAS Panhandle does that.

So, join us - or else
