re: #524 Myron Falwell

Basically, you have two options, and they both involve you dying immediately in a nuclear holocaust.

Either stay and perish as the US brazenly wages a world war for global domination (moreso because of widespread fallout and retaliatory attacks by the wounded nations) or openly secede, stand your ground, and perish that way, albeit quick and rather painlessly.

Hobson’s Choice in undistilled form.

It’s also what the Evangelicals have to be dreaming about, because they get to see their iteration of Jesus.

The majority of cruise missiles on Navy vessels are conventional. (When I was stationed aboard USS San Jacinto, a cruiser, I would set up my hammered dulcimer on top of a cruise missile hatch at the bow and play while at sea.

There wouldn’t be a nuclear holocaust in an attack on California. Conventional weapons would do quite nicely to destroy that fifth largest economy in the world.

Combat Control: Are you over your targets in the Silicone Valley yet?
Carrier Air Wing Commander: Lead aircraft now over targets.
Operations: Radar shows no sign of the California Air Force.
Combat: Bridge, Air Wing reports it is in position to release weapons.
Bridge: Commence attack.

(Bombs fall on tech companies, industrial plants, airfields, freeways)

CAW Commander: We blasted those rebel asses back to the XVIII Century. Request vector to landing pattern.

You don’t think conservative wingnuts would not just LOVE to go after the hated hippie liebrul land of California?

California cannot defend itself. It has no Air Force, no Navy, no Army. Good luck.

We hang together, or we will surely hang separately.
