If America implodes (e.g. via Civil war), who will come to her aid

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.

Leave them to it, they bought it upon themselves.

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

Send in the Taliban as peacekeepers.

North Korea and China will come to aid according to Hollywood ,

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

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.

Whereas all the "militia" lads that have been on display the last few months are athletes..........................

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.

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

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.

At least they know how to use guns. The average left wing soy probably cries when he hears a gunshot.

Yeah, those paper targets really know how to put up a fight.

It lasted longer than the War of 1812 during which the British burned the White House, laid siege to Baltimore (which inspired the Star Spangled Banner) and had a landing force defeated at New Orleans by future president Andrew Jackson.

Why do they call it a civil war anyways, it's a walking contradiction.

It would be a good opportunity to return the territory to the people who were there before all the troublemakers arrived. Spain, Germany, Italy, Ireland and the rest could take our people back. Canada could help in organising it.

I reckon Pierre
Trudeau would put Canada forward as the lead country in the UN backed peace mission.

And I think Gary Trudeau would draw the cartoon about it.

Canada would get millions of refugees. Like I said they could process them for return to Europe.

If we indulge the fantasy of a catastrophic civil war, I could see California and New York seceding, and staying out of the mess. Their economies are big enough and independent enough not to need the other states, so self preservation would kick in. California might take Oregon and Washington with them. They already have the “Western States Pact.” - which is only a loose agreement on how to handle Covid 19 restrictions, but it shows they’re working together on some level as a unit. Would NY take NJ and New England with them? I think the real mess would be in the rest of the states. No other country would get involved, they’d be let fight it out. Russia might cast its eye at Alaska, and some distant pacific territory might be tempting to China, if they felt they could take advantage of the situation under the guise of peace keeping.

But look, it’s not going to come to this. A bit of protesting and rioting, at most, and then it’ll fizzle out. Even if it did get worse, the US military is too strong to allow an actual civil war (assuming it doesn’t split into two factions, but it won’t.). Anyone rising up against them would be crushed. This business of a “well armed militia” to guard against an authoritarian government - or anything else - is nonsense. No amount of action men with assault rifles will defend against the national guard, let alone the gear the of the combined army, navy, airforce and marines.

The only thing Ireland could do is send a Christmas card ffs. We have zero military input to offer.

Suppose we could ask Christy to write a song.
