And he is now saying, I am going to acclimate the American public to the use of military force anywhere I deem it. Appropriate under any circumstances, and I may well, the president may be thinking, I may well have us in a war by the time the elections roll around, which will enable me to say any opposition to me and my party is basically treason and unpatriotic.
Depends on if there would be enough Generals and Admirals who sided with blue states.
But red states would repeat the mistakes of the confederacy and rely on Southern ports, and the rest of the US would once again blockade the Gulf and destroy their supply lines.
Only difference now is red states can get supplies via air.
That’s true. And air freight is much more limited in its capacity too so it’s usually only considered for critical goods.
Good point, plus any sufficient naval blockade would also have some AA capabilities, at least for the Gulf. So they would have to be creative about getting supplies that way
