      California will not live under Texan rules, and vice versa. Never going to happen. This split is a long time coming, and there's no weapon system existing that can stop what's coming. Genie's out of the bottle this time LMAO

              It's hard to see because the states are still so similar right now. A few more summers of love are bound to produce more hits from this supreme court. Federalism is on its way out. There will be no sweeping by any side over America.

          I don't think libs have 0 military support. Plenty of libs are jingoistic fucks which probably includes at least some generals. The scale is not tipped in their favor though.

          The ecological situation has gotten so dire, there is talk in Cali about building aqueducts out to the PNW and even the Mississippi. Ofc, there is 0 federal direction on water conservation at this point, so if the Western states want to survive they need to come up with some institution that can manage something like the water tables.

            Thankfully for California the PNW has indicated they will be clear allies in that confrontation. If Washington and Oregon told California to eat shit California would completely dissolve in drought, but thankfully they seem to be willing partners so far

          Eastern Oregon and Washington will join Idaho. West of the Cascades will become Cascadia.

      That's where I'm seeing things going as well. Balkanization just doesn't seem like it's going to happen as countries with even worse ethnic divisions have still remained intact with the help of martial law. The Republicans could rig it enough where it's essentially a one party rule for a very long time.

        The EU isn't gonna do shit, the libs there are nearly as useless as they are in the US.

        This is what I found:

        Naval Base Kitsap (Washington)
        Malstrom Air Force Base (Montana)
        Nellis Air Force Base (Nevada)
        Warren Air Force Base (Colorado and Wyoming)
        Minot Air Force Base (North Dakota)
        Pantex plant (Texas)
        Whiteman Air Force Base (Missouri)
        Barksdale Air Force Base (Louisiana)
        Naval Submarine Base (Georgia)

        Not exactly the states you would want to have nukes...

          that's not a complete list. for example, California and Hawaii definitely have nukes.

              Nuclear Texas is not so bad. They can't realistically do anything with them without turning into a legitimate death cult seeking the end of the world.

      It'll realistically be 5 at most. States will give up nukes or nukes access to access the world market.

        That would be amazing, no way are they gonna give up all the nukes though.

      when the Soviet Union broke up the KGB took over and protected nuclear weapons facilities until there could be an official hand over. The CIA even helped them since they didn't want to lose track of any nukes in the world, one of the few positive things they've done. Maybe something similar could happen here

        Same, but the one thing I worry about are all the nazis that are stationed in there.

        I'm not from the west coast, but I'm picking on California in particular because I vaguely remember the California National Party, which would be nice but I know Cascadia AND California have plenty of nazis that would need to be [redacted].

          Yeah we got nazi orgs in CA but also lots of leftist orgs not afriad to gear up (we are the birthplace of the black panthers). Also we have a diverse ethnic makeup that besides Orange County becoming a nazi/chud stronghold most other areas are exceedingly politically chill (either left or radlibs) and not able to be taken over by a bunch of crazed crackers with rifles. NorCal is where you got militant weed farmers and rich former hippies/rockers so there's some terfs but tbh don't have much rightwing militancy.

    Balkanization won't happen. It'd be uncivil and therefore the libs won't even consider it. They'd rather die.

    Death to America
