NYC can launch those fighter jets off of the Intrepid. We can do a surprise attack.

Where they going to get the fuel? <evil laugh> bwahahahahahaha </evil laugh>

It's NY...we can use hybrid jets. We have the intelligence to do it.

Dude, we got CENTCOM and SOCOM at MacDill...and you really shouldn't underestimate all the TPT (trailer park trash). While the geezer population is overwhelming, quite a big chunk of them are war veterans.

Well, judging from crime rates, cities in MA (ie Lowell, Lawrence, Springfield, etc) have people that have guns and are not afraid to use them either.

lol even if we dont carry or use guns, im sure 90% of the people know how to use them here, and use it smart not like some backyard redneck, or a state full of hippies and feminine males (who are most likely afraid of blood), or a state with nukes that needs to call india for tech suport on how to turn on the computers to shoot it or washington DC to get the codes and permissions. that said i think NY would win it easy.


PS texas has the resources which would be taking over by NY, and the space to throw all the bodies out.

People, resources and weapons. A winning combination.

CA has way more people, better-armed ghettos, and far, far more resources. Also, homeland advantage.

Texans couldn't handle the altitudes and winter weather of the Sierras. The economy far outstrips anything anything else in the US, so CA by a long shot.

So you're saying the gangs in L.A. could handle the winter weather of the Sierras better? LOL

CA has the most military bases, bases of all branches of the military, including a huge navy base. also, being west they can drop bombs anywhere to their east with little worry of jet stream

All the other states would forget that Vermont exists, and when all of you have gotten the big battles out of the way we'd swoop in with guerilla tactics and win. We'd be be like Al Queda in Afghanistan, hiding in the hills.
Hawaii and Alask probably have a better chance, because of their remote locations far from the lower 48.

The point is that Texans would be stopped at the border and just turn around. Then, CA would launch a bunch of stoned hippy snowboarders strapped with explosives to take out the fleeing Texans.

Also, only steers and queers come from Texas :laugh:

Never heard that one before! :roll:

Texans stopped at the border? You don't seriously think we'd attack from the north do you? We'd be too afraid of those stoned hippy snowboarders. :laugh:

Yeah, but I spent 5 years in Chicago, and ski In Colorado. I can sure tolerate it longer than some worthless Texans could.

Yup but here in SC anyone can have a gun, I think we have the most loose gun laws in the country, IIRC
