In the long term, the trade war will tank their economy

2019-11-10 22:53:37 UTC  

Yanks are already crying bout it tho

2019-11-10 22:54:14 UTC  

Americans have no backbone

2019-11-10 22:54:18 UTC  

What do you expect

2019-11-11 09:00:44 UTC  

Mamma mia

2019-11-11 13:50:37 UTC  

Pizza a pasta

@everyone Question Of The Day:

America has once again fallen into civil war between the Union and Confederate States; who do you think will win? What do you think will happen to the geography of the USA? Which countries would stay neutral? Why?

2019-11-11 13:54:00 UTC  

What a stupid fantasy land scenario. You might as well ask “who do you think would win in a fight, a Klingon or a Sith”

2019-11-11 13:54:33 UTC  

The Union would win just like they did last time

2019-11-11 13:54:41 UTC  

Assuming the same states are in each

2019-11-11 13:56:21 UTC  

This time the industries are in the southern states
I'd say the south

2019-11-11 13:58:13 UTC  

Doesn't matter if its a stupid scenario.

2019-11-11 13:59:11 UTC  

Personally I think the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand would band together as a form of international police making sure the stocks don't completely get fucked, making sure Russia/China don't take the opportunity to strike while their down, etc

2019-11-11 13:59:57 UTC  

~~and then they'll take back the thirteen colonies (renamed to the Imperial States of America) as well as a few more and begin the Third British Empire~~

2019-11-11 14:11:38 UTC  

Yea no the entire would side with the union expect for maybe Mexico

2019-11-11 14:11:53 UTC  

And the north still has plenty of industry

2019-11-11 14:12:14 UTC  

Texas would be hard to beat but that’s it

2019-11-11 14:12:36 UTC  

Actually the closest thing to confederate could be an independent Texas but even then

2019-11-11 14:12:50 UTC  

I doubt it

2019-11-11 14:13:27 UTC  

( Texas is very pro American but another confederacy would throw that all out the window)

2019-11-11 14:23:33 UTC  

Depends on who the military sides with. Nothing else even matters.

2019-11-11 14:41:53 UTC  

Virginia would go to the union this time

2019-11-11 14:42:21 UTC  

And yeah southern industry is nice

2019-11-11 14:42:35 UTC  

But once northern industrial capabilities are restarted

2019-11-11 14:42:41 UTC  

They are fucked

2019-11-11 16:55:51 UTC  

"If World War III were to occur between NATO and let's say BRICS who would win? Why?"

It doesn't work anymore like this. Such scenario would end life on earth due to nuclear capabilities. That's the reason some scholars claim that nuclear power is all that's keeping us from a WW3.

2019-11-11 17:03:29 UTC  

@Orw33 I think it's fair to say that NATO won the Cold War against the Comintern without it resorting to MAD...

2019-11-11 17:07:04 UTC  

NATO won because gorbachev was bored

2019-11-11 17:07:56 UTC  

@Master Yeet the question referred to "World War III", not Cold War, which is arguably still ongoing.

2019-11-11 17:17:37 UTC  

@Orw33 I knew the question referred to WW3, I was pointing out that nuclear weapons don't mean war between nuclear powers would instantly degenerate into MAD

2019-11-11 17:20:45 UTC  

the only states that need to exist for the US is the original 13

2019-11-11 18:09:07 UTC  

@Master Yeet if you think WW3 can happen without nuclear intervention, you're optimistic my friend.

2019-11-11 18:09:51 UTC  

@Orw33 WW3 couldn't be prevented by MAD any more than the Cold War was

2019-11-11 18:17:07 UTC  

@Master Yeet Please read the Wikipedia article I posted:
"In 1949, after the unleashing of nuclear weaponry at the end of WWII, physicist Albert Einstein suggested that any outcome of a possible WWIII would be so dire as to revert mankind back to the Stone Age. When asked by journalist Alfred Werner, what types of weapons Einstein believed World War III might be fought with, Einstein warned, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones""

2019-11-11 18:21:26 UTC  

Indeed that is a famous quote - what of it?

2019-11-11 18:21:43 UTC  

@Master Yeet My nationalist friend, if you think that WW3 would prove anything other than human ignorance, you're deeply delusional.

2019-11-11 18:23:46 UTC  

Well, I certainly wouldn't *advocate* for WW3, but once again I would point back the the Cold War as an example of a global war between nuclear powers that was undertaken as a rational series of strategic decisions

2019-11-11 18:24:33 UTC  

yea and the only reason because it remained "rational" was because nobdy typed in the launch codes my dude

2019-11-11 18:24:57 UTC  

Indeed

2019-11-11 18:25:20 UTC  

As good a reason as any
