If America Splits Up, What Happens to the Nukes?


02/17/2021Ryan McMaken

Opposition to American secession movements often hinges on the idea that foreign policy concerns trump any notions that the United States ought to be broken up into smaller pieces.

It almost goes without saying that those who subscribe to neoconservative ideology or other highly interventionist foreign policy views treat the idea of political division with alarm or contempt. Or both.

They have a point. It's likely that were the US to be broken up into smaller pieces, it would be weakened in its ability to act as a global hegemon, invading foreign nations at will, imposing “regime change,” and threatening war with any regime that opposes the whims of the American regime.

For some of us, however, this would be a feature of secession rather than a bug.

The leftists hate nukes (or so they say).
They could surrender them to the "new-traditionalist nation(s)" for safekeeping.

But I predict that once the leftist/communists gain total power, THE LAST thing they'll do is to "let go of the nukes..."

North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, etc are where many of them are. Likely States to tell Blue America to find a new name.
