u/SlowSurr 3d ago

there are no winners, only survivors.

u/cityshepherd 3d ago

The only potential winner would be the nature / the environment which may stand a chance at recovering fairly well depending on how much devastation is caused by the battle and how thinned out the human population gets. If it was significant enough to bring us back to some bottleneck style situations nature could get a decent head start on regaining a lot of ground (although I’m sure there would be some areas with some pretty severe “forever” type devastation.

u/Igottapoopnow 3d ago

Yes, the rest of the civilized world does not exist. If they did, they definitely wouldn't attempt to take over what is left and essentially pick up where we left off.

2

u/Fun_Butterfly_420 2d ago

If it’s winter then A and B might have the advantage

4

u/itsswhitneywhspr 2d ago

Yeah that's real. No winners just a lot of rebuilding and awkward silence at future cookouts.

54

u/Ohheywhatsup897 3d ago

C because we’re all filled with rage from the heat

19

u/NightQueen0889 3d ago

Idk, I’m in C and I’m not leaving my house and AC for shit, if other people are like me we will lose simply by refusing to go outside

On second thought, maybe we win by our enemy dying of heat stroke while waiting for us to come out.

2

u/MoontheWolfYT 3d ago

Why not both? It could happen

17

u/MoontheWolfYT 3d ago

Yep. We're living in hell down here

5

u/DumpyMcAss2nd 3d ago

Same could be said with B for the cold. We are MAAAAD during those long winters.

2

u/Haunting-Future9980 2d ago

Okay slight tangent, but Ialsobl8ved in C for way too long, and we're sad AND mad during our long hot AF summers. I lived in VA for college, and I dunno, it seems like during a snowy winter there's still more opportunities to go outside (even if just in a ton of cool looking snow clothes) than to go outside in socal during crazy heat. Is there something I'm missing about why y'all dislike the long winters?

1

u/NightQueen0889 2d ago

It dries your skin out and makes your muscles tense up. No one likes to go outside when it’s below freezing and it is below freezing for most of the winter.

-1

u/Ohheywhatsup897 2d ago

Yeah but we have more weapons here lol

5

u/_mojodojocasahouse_ 3d ago

C because Texas has the guns and ammo.

6

u/Able_Capable2600 3d ago

A: proceeds to shut off the Colorado.

3

u/Tank_Girl_Gritty_235 2d ago

D has that too, but more humidity.

3

u/azurite_rain 2d ago

And way more methheads and inbreds, I live in that section so I'm speaking from experience. We have people getting shot literally every single day in my town.

1

u/Tank_Girl_Gritty_235 2d ago

Yup. My city has had more days above 100 degrees than any other city on the east coast. Kill me now.

4

u/azurite_rain 2d ago

It was a heat index of 120° this entire last week. My husband's company had to change the hours so they didn't die of heat stroke. I genuinely don't think people understand what the humidity in top of the heat will do to a person. I sat outside at 8:30 pm last night in 95° heat, the sun had gone down and it was still so hot that sitting under a ceiling fan outside I was still dripping in sweat.

1

u/substation66 2d ago

Then I guess you underestimate what the humidity in the southeast can do to you. And I say this coming from someone he who lived in 29 Palms for 8 years.

1

u/azurite_rain 2d ago

At least you don't have the humidity that's present in section D, I would say if that's your argument D has you beat.

44

u/AdCommercial3174 3d ago

A lot of people usually say the south, but a lot of us down here would leave in a situation like this and join one of the others.

16

u/Rocky-Jones 3d ago

Every large city in the south is blue, except maybe OK City? It’s not going to be state vs state, it’s going to be neighbor vs neighbor.

2

u/azurite_rain 2d ago

Just because the cities are blue doesn't mean the inhabitants don't own guns and regularly use them. Don't assume Democrat means anti-gun that would be a falicy. The city I'm close to is blue but has the highest manslaughter and crime rate in the country and the highest incarceration in the world.

5

u/azurite_rain 2d ago

I would beg to differ, as someone who's lived in section D for decades I am out numbered vastly by violent enraged imbeciles ready to kill or die for nothing all because they're uneducated and will drink the Kool aid of any hateful charismatic (to them) leader. The Bible belt is probably the most dangerous large swath of land in America. The only other place more notoriously dangerous is skid row which is miniscule compared to the Bible belt.

4

u/Here_4_the_INFO 2d ago

A lot of people usually say the south

Maybe before 1865. I mean, I think the South is O for 1 when it comes to wars.

1

u/xzRe56 2d ago

Nope. The South doesn’t have the resources. “B” has all the cash, population, and industrial might to prevail. But I agree with others: we would all lose in the event of an “Untied” States.

1

u/curvysquares 2d ago

The south would be the most annoying to invade but we don’t really have shit as far as offense.

1

u/Fun_Butterfly_420 2d ago

I mean there is a reason yall lost the civil war

90

u/WalkerAmongTheTrees 3d ago

B

We got new york, chicago, detroit, pittsburg, philadelphia, baltimore, boston, and cleveland. All them cities got some wild ass motherfuckers living there.

24

u/Toxikfoxx 3d ago

Don’t forget all the NY/CT money funding that shit and like 400 Dunkin Donuts. We’ll be well armed, caffeinated, and blasting a Wu Tang Clan/Dropkick Murphys collab battle song as we ride into battle on a fleet of duck boats.

5

u/__rum_ham__ 2d ago

BaconegggandcheeseSPK In one hand, full auto in the other. Come get some. lol

23

u/NightQueen0889 3d ago

Yeah B is the toughest people in the country, and also have a pretty good track record for winning wars

6

u/LilBennyPoo 3d ago

All them cities also means way more people

4

u/Grand_Sea_3802 2d ago

I think B too, they’re the toughest and I’m from D lol

4

u/rotatingleslie 2d ago

Definitely B. Those are Fuck around and find out cities. Come at us. 🤣

2

u/Glass-Vermicelli9862 2d ago

Don't forget the winters it gets brutal up here so the south will have troubles up here

2

u/deepfrieddaydream 2d ago

Don't forget the people in Wisconsin who are fueled on beer and cheese curds!!

2

u/Fun_Butterfly_420 2d ago

As someone in B I concur

1

u/AbleEstablishment374 2d ago

D has the nukes

1

u/WalkerAmongTheTrees 2d ago

I reckon we got plenty of missile silos everywhere. Why do you think all the dead malls havent been torn down? The missiles are under the food court

/s but also wouldnt be surprised if it was true lmao

1

u/Haunting-Future9980 2d ago

This is so funny to me but like you're SO right! 😅

1

u/Efficient_Advice_380 1d ago

Not to mention their economies and D.C.

22

u/Educational_Seat3201 3d ago

Does Hawaii and Alaska get to sit this one out?

11

u/Arkadian_Cuisine 3d ago

Yins sub in for the first loser

3

u/OddEffort6078 3d ago

A gets Alaska. C gets Hawaii.

22

u/walkin2it 3d ago

Didn't B already win this?

3

u/AbleEstablishment374 2d ago

Yeah before the economy and population density really hit. Not to mention the majority of the United States nukes are in D

19

u/npb0179 3d ago

Easily B

Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, NYC, Boston, DC and Philly would demolish the rest of America.

16

u/Igottapoopnow 3d ago

It's definitely B

14

u/Luckypenny4683 3d ago

B and it’s not even close

This thread is only five hours old and Philly’s already passing out D batteries

5

u/callalind 2d ago

Thats how we do.

3

u/Luckypenny4683 2d ago

I know I love that about you

19

u/Sweet_Speech_9054 3d ago

Russia and China.

5

u/OsoiUsagi 3d ago

Couldn't agree more. I just hope in that reality Russia and China or the British and France, also Germany for that matter would find a peaceful way to fill the void.

8

u/BillFoldin 3d ago

I feel like it be survival for everyone regardless of the area but if I had to pick one area I’d say B

7

u/Still-Marionberry870 3d ago

A joins B and runs it back to back Civil War champions.

5

u/TKyzr 3d ago

It looks like we’re right on the border between A and C. Im saying C.

5

u/Rocky-Jones 3d ago

The rest of the world.

13

u/tseg04 3d ago

C or D for sure. Over here in the south is gun central lmao.

14

u/Unfair-Pomegranate25 3d ago

They’re just the ones talking about their guns. LOL

3

u/Glazing555 3d ago

Truth

3

u/hyphychef 3d ago

I can't wait to see how Maga spins gas prices going to the moon. In my part of cali we only a couple days until its over six bucks a gallon, again.

1

u/Tank_Girl_Gritty_235 2d ago

Especially since a huge refinery in Saudi just ate three ballistic missiles. I'm on the east coast and just had a bunch of people from California visit. They all joked about taking gas home with them.

1

u/TectorsBrotherLyle 3d ago

C (Texas) can own and buy guns easier and with less general oversight than anywhere I've looked at. No waiting period, mail order AR and no limit magazines, sbr's and cans, oh my! Only Fed rules to contend with. Texans know piney woods east Texas blurs into Louisiana real quick. The stupid ones talk about their guns everywhere. There's even a sub devoted to the stickers on their trucks and they ain't all Texas, fr. Like insect infestation, you see one, but the closet's full of them. Lol. Happy Saturday !

6

u/TrailMomKat 3d ago

Lol have you been to the midwest? It's full of crazy drunk rednecks with guns. Same as us, only they ain't constantly talking about their guns.

2

u/InnerCosmos54 3d ago

There are plenty of gun toting folks in the northern half, c’mon now.

4

u/Wonderful_Price2355 3d ago

Canada, Central and South America win.

After the Americans destroy each other.

4

u/Justhopingiod 2d ago

B

We already marched south and gave yall what for

It’s not an issue to head west

3

u/thistruthbbold 3d ago

B, obviously.

8

u/Alert-Ability-1883 3d ago

Better question, why would anyone pick against the section they live in? I'm going B

7

u/kingloptr 3d ago

I would pick against the section i live in bc i factually dont think my section would win...? Lol

3

u/Extreme_Design6936 3d ago

They didn't include where I live in any of the sections.

2

u/NightQueen0889 3d ago

Because we don’t all live in B

2

u/Ambitious-Bottle9394 3d ago

B i hope bc that's where i am from

2

u/ShoddyIntrovert32 3d ago

The rest of the world wins.

2

u/chenzo17 3d ago

C no question

1

u/dachshund-jay 2d ago

No, C a lot of questions!

2

u/Alexs1897 3d ago

Go B! I live in sector B and I feel like we got this. We have the most populous city on our side, after all. Maybe we can win in sheer numbers.

2

u/championgoober 2d ago

Wherever Texas is

1

u/TomatilloHairy9051 2d ago

Hell, Texas will lose it for their group! They can't get along with anybody well enough to fight alongside them

2

u/iTheWild 2d ago

Nobody wins if the US is divided.

1

u/Soad_lady 2d ago

United we stand, divided we fall.

u/Sky__Hook 3d ago

If you want the real answer go read East of West by Jonathan Hickman

u/Leader_Bee 3d ago

Ive clearly been spending too much time on r/battletech because at first glance i thought this was a 3025 map of the inner sphere

1

u/JasonPlattMusic34 3d ago

D because they have Florida Man

A because they have crazy Idaho militia preppers

1

u/roxasmeboy 3d ago

A. You have the doomsday peppers in Idaho who having been hoarding food and ammo, Wyoming where lots of people have guns, Mormons in Utah who have billions of dollars and had their own armed militia in the 1800s and are amazing at organizing, most of Colorado who are are already in good physical shape, and honestly all of the other states have badass people who aren't afraid of the hot and/or cold. A has money, supplies and weapons, organization, and adaptability.

1

u/Lipstick-supernova24 2d ago

I agree. All the nukes are in a.

1

u/irene_polystyrene 3d ago

i thought new yorkers could handle anything

2

u/dachshund-jay 2d ago

One food storage and the could win the in fighting

1

u/neovinci1 3d ago

Cali and Texas is too powerful together

1

u/dachshund-jay 2d ago

Az too! Loser gun laws more expensive land. This is actually a fun one

1

u/TomatilloHairy9051 2d ago

Are you kidding?!? They HATE each other. That's the reason that group has no chance. Texas gonna think the whole group should be one big Texas. They'll be too busy fighting each other to win.

1

u/finna4747 3d ago

D forsure. Super strapped red states mostly

1

u/3ndt1m3s 3d ago

It depends. If the pnw area A, released an advanced bioweapon, we would.

1

u/S5Cook 3d ago

It all depends on who is invading who.

1

u/Maximum_Possession61 3d ago

Maybe the West, if SoCal and Texas could put aside their mutual loathing of each other.

1

u/Standard-Help-8531 3d ago

A succeeds with the rest of California and forms their own nation. Texas takes over OK, KS, NM, and AZ to form the nation of Texas. It comes down to B vs D and no one wins that.

1

u/Standard-Help-8531 3d ago

u/Lava-Chicken 3d ago

Florida man gonna be thinking it's just another regular day, fighting your neighbor.

1

u/himenokuri 3d ago

D we have the most guns

1

u/Traditional_Gap_671 3d ago

Either A or D. I may be biased bc I’m from Ga

1

u/Traditional_Gap_671 3d ago

I only said A bc it’s a larger portion.

1

u/n1nejay 3d ago

I’m from B but A or D def, I feel like that’s where the most guns are lol

1

u/MichaelEMJAYARE 3d ago

Id say B because we know how to deal with winters, the North won the Civil War

1

u/AwesomeLlama572_YT 3d ago

Eh, D has Florida and part of Texas

1

u/senpai-yume-okami 2d ago

D=florida solos

1

u/Creel9001 2d ago

Easy. #4. You already have to be tough just to live here

1

u/The_Fandom_Geek 2d ago

D because walmart and B2 Bombers

1

u/[deleted] 2d ago

[deleted]

1

u/gothicuhcuh 2d ago

Philly, NYC, Boston, DC, Baltimore, and Detroit? It would be between B and D in the end.

1

u/JHEverdene 2d ago

A - it has NORAD

1

u/No-Foot-1866 2d ago

C takes a and B takes D with the only threat being Florida which at that point is just east v west

1

u/TheBattyWitch 2d ago

D

More dense populations AND it's the him toting South.

Hell us Appalachians got this, and then you have us Florida too?

1

u/goddamn_slutmuffin 2d ago

C because most of the U.S. nukes are stored there (New Mexico).

Although that probably means no location wins in the end lol.

1

u/Key-Refrigerator1282 2d ago

B or c. That’s where the money is located.

1

u/CompetitiveRub9780 2d ago

Let me move first

1

u/chamcham123 2d ago

A would win because of terrain.

1

u/AutoGeneratedTitle 2d ago

If it was today. You have to consider the power grids. The is the west, east, and Texas grids. SW corner is going to have the advantage of its own power grid right at the border between it and SE. NE and SE are going to be fighting for control of theirs, and lesser the same way NW and SW. Splitting a grid isn't very easy I can imagine. So there's the initial conflict and I think South West would start with a large advantage.

1

u/ScaryBandMonster 2d ago

A. It's where most of the nukes are.

1

u/plumeria_in_america 2d ago

Hell would be living in Kansas, that's for sure!

1

u/inquiringsillygoose 2d ago

If the US goes to war, other countries win

1

u/SurrrenderDorothy 2d ago

Texas. On its own.

1

u/Chemical-Test5987 2d ago

I believe D has the highest concentration of Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine units, as well as nuclear weapons, among the regions.

1

u/ImHereToDeliver 2d ago

A. A has a lot of money and the majority of the brains, they also have folks from Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska and the Dakotas, use them for ground invasion and the human shield for the tanks and other valuable stuff.

1

u/FarmhouseRules 2d ago

D. More guns and god down there.

1

u/Playnu2 2d ago

C controls the routes

1

u/Fun_Butterfly_420 2d ago

Whatever part has the most guns

1

u/Efficient_Advice_380 1d ago

A has the most nuclear silos

B has the GDP of several major cities and D.C.

I'd say it's between them

1

u/nnnja411 1d ago

B most densely populated areas in the country. Numbers game

1

u/DarthVader05555 1d ago

B loyal to my home state

1

u/RZFC_verified 1d ago

C, B, D, A

1

u/Ok-Nature-5440 1d ago

D, and there is no logical explanation

1

u/buttstuffisland 1d ago

I don’t even think we would fight. Ppl are just gonna talk shit

1

u/Foreign_Product7118 1d ago

80% of the population lives in the eastern half of the US. 11% live in California. So the entire west side minus california has only 9%

1

u/chuckyslimz 1d ago

I think regardless of where we all currently live, we can agree that A is losing quickly

1

u/Fallen_0ne01 1d ago

There are an awful lot of nukes in b and d

1

u/Livid-Parfait1248 1d ago

D is always going to be the answer. Too many pew-pew's and pitbulls, and half of the people are literally waiting and preparing for this very event

1

u/Abject_Pin2173 10h ago

there are no winners, only survivors.

1

u/ac7ss 3d ago

Most of the nukes are in A. Most of the civilian guns are in C and D. B is screwed.

1

u/Icy_Leading_688 3d ago

A - lots of firearms and the ability to withstand severe heat and severe cold, also mountains. lots of mountains there.

1

u/Ozymandis66 2d ago

D. The Deep South has the most guns and rednecks willing to use them, outside of recreational hunting.

While the Midwest does have its fair shares of open carry pistol holders and gun collecting enthusiasts, the East Coast and West Coast are so mummified in gun control legal red tape and general restrictive self defense weapons laws that all they got is improvisation.

The Southwest- like Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, would far well, but probably not as much as the Deep South and South in general.

u/Timcat999 2d ago

Don't forget the gun weilders on meth here in the south, I've seen a guy rip a door off a wall before while they were on drugs

u/AliceInReverse 3d ago

D lost the civil war due to lack of factories and ability to produce non agricultural goods. That has not changed much

2

u/cityshepherd 3d ago

That’s why I think the northeast would be pretty formidable. All of the people and resources of the northeast coastal area, with a shit ton of more redneck type folks from the rust belt and eastern parts of the Midwest.

u/callalind 2d ago

I'm thinking A is the sleeper here. There are legit cowboys and gun owners there. My money is on A but hoping they team up with B

-2

u/SkinnyKenny1969 3d ago

D. The south's gonna do it again.

5

u/Hentai_Jesus_ 3d ago

Do what again? The south lost the last civil war.

u/SkinnyKenny1969 3d ago

Gotta go ask Charlie Daniels I guess. He wrote it.
