Imagine some alternative universe where The US faces the same punishing beat down that Iran just suffered… POTUS, VPOTUS, top cabinet officials, half of Congress and SCOTUS all got bombed by our nemesis, the Hyper power Pine Land using their infamous shadow bombers. Soon every CBG was sunk, our bases gutted, targets blowing up hourly… Other than PBS all media off the air and internet turned off. PBS insists that the VPOTUS is alive and his crack team of “top men” are on the case. Otherwise if anyone else tries to reach out to Pine Land they will be shot on sight. Now… practically… if the US $ dropped to 0 vs other countries’ currencies and US Treasury could not get Federal funds to pay welfare, Medicaid, Medicare and social security benefits… Would we split into mad max enclaves or hang together out of F U Pineland rage? |

I would flee to the country who bombed us and sign up for benefits, rape their women, burn their flag in their own streets, and demand that they adopt my religion and it’s laws. I would rape their sheep and goats as well. |

The day to day world would get pretty small. It wouldn't take long for the major blue cities to burn, even if they werent being bombed. |

Think about that level of technology... Yes, With drones, ir/flir/thermal etc, trail cams, serveillence, motion sensors etc. It'd be kind of hard to hide out/sneak about without something picking you up. Figure it'd be run & gun and fight or flight. |

I love a good double entendre.

In that case little would change, because the fictional country hit the wrong target. Those people are stooges. The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. -Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope |

Sadly, our congressional leaders would surrender immediately and accept any and all concessions, selling our natural resources and federal land to compensate for the ordnance expenditure of our enemy, be willing to immediately scrap the Constitution and open the doors wide-open for bending over the American subjects to our new masters. Of course, congress would volunteer to remain in power and control to serve our new, foreign leaders and likely even propose a new “loser” tax to ingratiate themselves to the enemy and help afford the costs of American subject disarmament, subjugation, and reinstitution open borders and DEI.

In order for something like this to happen we would need to have someone like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in Washington at the same time . . . Wait a minute.  I see liberals being compliant in serfdom. I see (most) honest conservatives eventually making a fight of it. The US has 400M civilian-owned firearms; almost half of the rest of the world combined. |
