#2 ...When it happens, it will be fast - a week or so, maybe just a couple days - but when the dust has settled, and eight dollars out of every ten or so in the economy stops coming out of Washington, we're going to be Third World.

#5 Something comes out the other end of the crater, it will be a shadow of what was, but the interregnum is going to be very ugly.

#6 That interregnum is going to be interesting to people who had no use of the Constitution except to con the rubes and a lot of Karens who'll discover their harpy behavior won't go far.

#10 You men the ones that aren't already here Grom? Latest figures suggest one quarter of all Hondurans and Guatemalans are already here for example...

As for a foreign nation invading the US, even the remnant combat power of our military can cope with that, not to mention the 16.2 million veterans, almost all of whom are well armed. Pretty sure even China cannot sustain the sealift needed to invade and sustain their invasion force.

The potential catastrophic mess is the internal furor that will start early-on as urban parasitic forces meet unleashed Traditional America at the urban-suburban-rural interfaces along the major transportation corridors, a convoluted Lexington-Concord moment, and the Marquis of Queensbury Rules/Veneer of Civilized Behavior falls away for the latter. Once that great uncorking takes place, a whole lot of attitude will emerge.
