DBWI: CSA-FSA Alliance!

It's official now the Federated States of America and the Confederate States of America have signed a mutual-defense treaty which almost certainly is aimed against the United States. I guess it wise of the US to sign that mutual-defense treaty with Quebec last year.
 
Crap. I live outside of D.C, and if as the Tennessee referendum comes up, I am thinking of moving North. If they vote to leave the CSA and join the USA, then the CSA could start a war. How hypocritical of them, after all, the right to suceed was the whole point of Southern War of Secession(or Great War One, if you live in Europe). But ever since the "President"* Tuttle was elected, he has really centralized power!



*which I put in quotation marks because he is authoritarian
 
I'm hearing that the USA is calling up reservists and moblizing it's navies. The Confederates and the Federates will probably be launch a direct offensive into Southern California which makes me nervous. I'll probably get killed if the Confederates decide to use neutron bombs on Los Angeles and it's area.

Hearing this just now.... the Federate president in Austin's died of a heart attack. He was one of the few doves in the FSA now Vice President Nunez is gonna be Prez and he's one of the fiercest war hawks I've heard of....

I wouldn't worry - they're only got about six of the damn things. And since the Boers reformed, I have serious doubts they're getting the technical help they need to maintain them.

Besides, LA is far enough from the potential flashpoints that I think you're off the target list - if you lived in Santa Fe or Southern Kentucky or Virginia, then you'd have cause to worry. If the Federates have enough manpower to mount a drive out of Sonora, I'd be amazed - and you should see the panzer corps we've been assembling in New Mexico. All modern Pershing 2A4 refits, with the 140mm Krupp gun - more than a match for a 70's era Jackson or a Lee.

The US Army has always had the advantage out West - all those immigrants we settled there in the 1880s. We can be strong all along the line - the Federates don't give a damn about anything outside Texas, and the Confeds have to fortify North Carolina and the East Coast against First Army. All their strategic plans are aimed at a drive on DC - try to knock us out quick.

If anyone does light off a nuke, it's likely to be on the North Carolina or Tennesee fronts. And we have a real arsenal - we didn't go Dutch with Brazil and South Africa to build our bombs, and our rocket forces can reach any point on the globe. I'd bet on gas, myself - they have plenty of mustard gas and nerve agents squirreled away. But even Tuttle has to remember what we did to Atlanta in '58 - that photo of the little girl on fire gets reprinted constantly. And that was a non-nuclear strike - just napalm and fuel-air bombs. Some parts of the city (the black ghettoes especially - typical) still haven't been rebuilt.

Is anyone from Puerto Rico on the boards? I'm worried the CSN might try to bombard the island for the Roosevelt Center, if nothing else. Tuttle has always envied the US space program - they don't even launch their own comsats, since Dewey forbid them a rocket program back in the forties.

I'm not one of those Republican fanatics from West Virginia or Ohio - I don't want another war. I protested when we put down the Richmond Uprising in '92, and I was against the joint strikes when Action Française flew that jetliner into the Army Memorial Tower in Strasbourg (not to mention all the lynchings of Franco-Americans - that was sickening, to see decent people acting like Rebs). But if Tuttle starts a war, we'll grind him into dust, even if it costs us our national soul.
