    If America was to implode, let's say via a civil war, who will come to her rescue?

    I'll say the Ireland and UK.

    ...Or can it ever implode? every nation has a connection there. a war in America, is a world war surely.

    Exactly this .

    Besides they more than have the ability to end a internal conflict pretty quickly ,

    Probably Will Smith , Bruce Willis and Tommy Lee Jones .
    Mel Gibson might give them a dig out too and maybe Morgan Freeman.

    Right I'll indulge you for a few minutes....


    Why would it implode? I have not heard a single comment or suggesting to suggest a flight of fancy...


    And if it was to, how would Ireland or the UK even have the capability to come to their rescue? The is just totally unrealistic.


    There may well be some civil rest in coming years, but it will be quelled by the national guard it it goes that far. There definitely will not be any international intervention that you can be sure of.

    Maybe someone will invade and steal their resources in the name of introducing democracy.

    Wars are often started from something miniscule. I dont like thier....

    UK and Ireland could start the talk, round up the allies. like WW2

    Most countries that has had civil wars had national guards

    It was much further away then. By the time anyone got there it was over.

    Round up the allies?

    Please elaborate.

    What allies would be "rounded up"? Why would allies be needed? Would they take a side? Who's side would they be on?

    Easy to say when you dont have cousins or relations there.

    How many America investments are in this country.

    How many American presidents have connection to UK/Ireland

    Sure we have our own burgers.

    In what way? Irish neutrality is actually based on the bottom of not interfering with other nations internal conflicts

    I love how these communist larpers fantasise about the revolution when most of them would struggle to carry a gun and run at the same time.

    Personally I think America will eventually break up along racial lines.

    The evil Russians will side with the Republicans.

    The tide is turning…

    Oh not racial lines I think. Maybe along current political lines. There is definitely racism, but there are a lot of people who are not racist and would have no problem sharing a country with different races. And it appears to pretty much divide along the political lines.

    ditto :D

    Not that fanciful. There are already European humanitarian organisations that have been providing food aid to impoverished Americans for several years, and only last week Medécins sans Frontières sent a delegation to assist with providing on-the-ground health care services as the country is now ranked as one of the "hottest" of disease hot-zones and unable to manage its own problems.

    I doubt there'd be too much need for any kind of peace-keeping force, though. If there's any kind of implosion, the first reaction locally will be for the more rational states to secede and either set themselves up as independent republics (e.g. Hawaii, California) or enter into a new, smaller union (e.g. the North-Eastern states).

    The countries who go to help would essentially be invading forces who would want to take control (or at least influence) in the way the Russians and allies did in Europe at the end of ww2.

    So Ireland would be well out of it.
