re: If an invasion was coming, and you had to pick five states as allies.

my strategy on choosing states as allies would change depending on the circumstances.

All of you are leaving Alaska for me to dominate in energy production. Thanks

New York controls the financial markets

Delaware controls the corporate status of most of industry

Illinois is a major commodities trading hub

California produces most agriculture and must access to energy

if you're fighting a war amongst other states due to invasion, i wouldn't be so spread out. transport of goods across enemy lines would be nearly impossible.

Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming & North Dakota.

You pick 5 states that the last time they were aligned as allies they lost a war, to fight against a new enemy?

California Vermont New York Oregon Washington (state)

I have a feeling these states would be defeated rather quickly

How hard are the rest fighting against us?

Give me Texas through Florida. That gives me an entire coastline.

Then through rousing speeches and propaganda, mixed with a sense of purpose, we wipe out any resistance in the rest of the SEC and bring their troops over to our side.

This Neo-confederacy smashes its way up the Mississippi, ensnaring the bread basket states in order to feed our armies. In tandem the bulk of our forces fights it's way up the eastern seaboard all the way to DC. They put up a valiant last stand but ultimately are overwhelmed. With this pincher movement we collapse on the remaining states left to between the Mississippi and the eastern seaboard and wait for winter to come.

Without the Midwest forms to feed them and the refineries to supply their own oil, Will be a harsh winter indeed. Killing off the weak and less industrious. Safe and warm and well fed in the south we offer them terms of peace. Join us or freeze. Their leadership refuses but we have been steadily smuggling moonshine food and fuel to the common folk.

In a daring Christmas coup the leadership is slaughtered by hungry soldiers of the working class. Blood stains the Christmas trees as soldiers from both sides celebrate in their grand old money estates.

Common folk rejoice as they throw off the collective yoke of their progressive oppressors. this is now a working fighting man's army.

With the north east taken we'll push west in the spring offensive, all the way to the Rockies. We'll take Denver with a hammer blow, then boulder after lacing their weed supply with high potency LSD.
Then the main army will split in two, Group A coming south down the rockies and taking the southwest with reinforcements from the SEC pushing west along the border.

Group B goes north through Wyoming and Montana, reinforcing with willing troops who want to defect to our cause.
Finally, in the late summer we hit Washington and Oregon, wiping out the commies and degenerates with extreme prejudice. The army marches south down the coast through Northern Cali, taking their fertile fields as Group A pushes through Vegas into Eastern California.

The Commies in Metro Cali are all that is left.

Many attempt to flee from the ports but they are sunk in short order by our navy.

With no food and no water the cities quickly fall to mayhem.
Blood and fire is the order of the day. They turn on each other.
Decent folks flee and and are allowed to go into refugee camps where they are provided for, upon conditions that they work.

There is nothing free in this new society. You work or you starve.

The winter passes. It is bitterly cold and many in the remaining cities resort to cannibalism.

By the time the spring rolls around civilization has completely collapsed there.

We send the bulk of the army in at this point. Urban warfare tactics. We take no quarter.
It is brutal. Those that have survived have done so by being the strongest and most ruthless.

The battles are hard fought.

Some pledge themselves to the new order and are allowed to live.

The rest die.

When the smoke clears there is a new order among the ashes.

One of law and hard work. One That does not celebrate degeneracy, but decency.

Then we turn our armies towards the real enemy. The filthy, treacherous Canadians.

Idiots saying Louisiana...

Texas
Mississippi
Bama
Ohio
Florida

Population size with a sprinkle of trash.

This is a good choice. Coastline and Miss River access. Texas and Florida have big populations. Plus BR traffic will slow any invader.

California and NY would be good but they're sort o spread out.
