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

[Cyched]

A lot of posts and pages to arrive at the correct answer of Missoura.

An infantry of Roger Spragues backed by KC and STL money? No thanks.

Mizzou is tough as rain.

Iowa will defend itself by loading up all the pigs and create a pork wall at the border.

Pork bellies!

 

[Bipolarcy]

I hadn't thought of that.

But I don't think you will be able to pacify Iowa with an aerial assault, even if it is an extended one. The troops have to come across at some point. When they realize that you can't just step across most of Iowa's rivers like the ones in Nebraska they will have logistics issues.

Apparently, you weren't around for the Iraq war. And the Air Force has improved leaps and bounds since then.

Using pig manure as landmines or the stench as a gas attack?

 

[wxman1]

Those mentioning Offut. They no longer have any bombers there and are just a command and control site essentially. Also close enough to the river that a quick crossing could put you well within mortar range.

Missouri on the other hand….B-2s, A-10s, T-38s that could be outfitted if you really want to, then the Army has a bunch of stuff.

But Iowa can call on all of the resources of Moscow and Denver.
Never mind, Missouri has Mexico and Paris.
But whatever happens, we have What Cheer!

Just 20 million pigs or so that they have to cross through. Pigs aren’t friendly animals.

But, but...Missouri has Climax.

If we weaponize the pigs, ain't nobody stopping Iowa.

So does Minnesota and it is near Fertile.

Missouri with no doubt. The head of the KKK lived there until his wife shot him dead.

The state of Missouri invaded Iowa because of bees, to return slaves and during the civil war. Iowa ended up beating the crap out of them, but still it would be a fight.

But you can't do US 69 to get there.

Actually an Iowa Minnesota border war between Germans and Norwegians would be interesting. Let’s see which side Deborah is on.

Mizzouree - They have all the meth, all the guns and the least amount of teeth.

 

[Kinch]

I think Rutledge, Missouri has more AK-47s per capita than any other small town.

And they make Busch Light, don’t forget that.
