Which Iowa border state would you be most afraid of in a state vs state civil war?

[coolerifyoudid]

Where are we sending all of our POWs? Fort Dodge (make them deal with it)?

I think the Geneva Convention would prevent this.

WI has some sneaky ones though.

'Hi Ed! How's it going?'

'Oh hey der. Pull up a chair. Made it myself!'

We do have the serial killers, this is true

"We won the battle, but lost Whitey's and Happy Joe's in the process. They've taken Paula Sands hostage. It feels like there were no winners"

Is Paula still on tv?!?!?!? Man KWQC is the voice of my childhood. But I secretely gave up Swails for KCRG. Joe Winters was excellent in showing the relentless march of severe storms across the Iowa counties to our doorstep.

It's Missouri. No doubt in my mind.

Dumb and zealous. Easy choice.

We had a cat we named Swails. Handsome bastard

As lovely as ever. I saw her at a Frank Sinatra concert. The Quad Cities celebrities were obviously out in full force.

Edit: What is this and how can I go?!?

"Paula and David have hosted more than a dozen Holiday Vacation tours for the station"

Paula Sands

Doing a job your entire adult life in your hometown has to be for the love of it. That’s exactly how Paula Sands feels about her 38 years at KWQC.

I grew up close to the border. There might be some clear way that Minnesota should either attack or defend, but then they will end up doing the opposite for some asinine reason they thought up and then be totally comfortable with it going to hell right in front of them.

@Al_4_State will back me up on this.

Yeah, this checks out. They'd just sneer at you the whole time too.

Missouri. Long history of bat sh!t crazy folks.

Being a NW Arkansas resident, this is exactly the same reasoning I came up with, especially extreme southern Missouri.

 

[Arkansas Cyclone]

As someone that lives in KC and works with a ton of Missourians, it's Missouri all day long. These ******* hurt each other on accident and on purpose, with absolutely zero war going on.

Then you take into account the ridiculous amount of guns, ammunition, alcohol, caves and crazy, and it would be like dumping a truckload of grenades in a monkey enclosure.

spot on. Now take this times 100 and you have southern Missouri.

 

[NoCreativity]

Illinois is the correct answer. They would be similar to Russia and just be able to win a war of attrition by throwing shear numbers at us that we couldn't handle.

 

[casey1973]

I said Illinois but Minneapolis is a bit sketchy and the border....

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Illinois is the correct answer. They would be similar to Russia and just be able to win a war of attrition by throwing shear numbers at us that we couldn't handle.

Lots of wide open spaces to cross though.

This is southern Illinois also though. It's like going backwards in time the further south you go through the state.

 

[NoCreativity]

They would be at a significant money advantage also.

 

[jcyclonee]

Missouri. They don't give any f*cks. They also have more meth, so they'll be like Nazi soliders in WW2.

Least afraid of? Minnesota. They're pussies.

We prefer the term Pacifists.

I think the Geneva Convention would prevent this.

I grew up in Fort Dodge. I still visit regularly. It's pretty much an Escape from New York place and would be a perfect prison.

 

[DurangoCy]

Wisconsin and it's not even close.

 

[IsUaClone2]

Missouri: Not smart enough to:

1. Realize they have insufficient resources (neither physical nor cognitive) to wage an effective war. Collateral and self-inflicted damage would be mind boggling.

2. Realize that attacking Iowa would be of no use to them. Attacking Arkansas or Louisiana with their moonshiners and drug routes would be much more useful for their purposes.

Populations
Iowa: 3.2M

Minnesota: 5.7M
Wisconsin: 5.9M
Illinois: 12.5M
Nebraska: 2.0M
South Dakota: 0.9M
Missouri: 6.2M

The answer is Illinois

Numbers don’t mean **** in war.

 

[Cyrealist]

The B-2's would cause serious issues.

Hillbillies plus military bases is a potent combination.
