The non-welfare states could just buy it from Canada. Or Venezuela or Colombia if they ever get their act together and start producing like they used to.
People don't realize the whole reason gas isn't basically free in North America is because Venezuela and Colombia have had their output drop to less than a third of what they used to.

Refineries. Canada's 2 mbd of refining capacity isn't even enough to keep their own country going. All the petroleum in the world means jack shit if you can't refine it. Every day that passes, clown world shuts down more and more infrastructure. Especially Canada.

Reviews I have read almost make it sound similar to World War Z the book in terms of format. The main characters are some journalists making their way across America and collecting stories/observing stuff about different situations going on during the conflict. It also sounds like the movie doesn’t try to sugarcoat what an actual civil war conflict would be: lots of innocent people getting killed

Well if it is truly violent and does show many of the effects of a potential modern day Civil War, then it might be worth watching. The worst part of what would happen would be the supply chain disruption. Food would become as valuable as gold. If you are under some sort of medicine that keeps you alive.....Insulin being the big one, you are dead. I wonder if it will discuss the possibility of China or even Russia attempting to take territories. Millions of people would die.

I feel like the second word got around China or Russia was trying something like that, both sides would be like "nope, timeout until we handle this shit, then back to the war". But maybe I'm crazy.

Ill just leave this here. China is already attempting to take over our country. It gets a lot easier if a Civil War breaks out.

The second a third party jumps in and says “mine”, the other two warring factions either team up or one side that is losing sells out to the third party in a desperate bid to turn the tide

Yeah I just assume everyone here would have a "nobody fucks with us but us" mentality.

Does it though? At that point we can just shoot whoever comes over to enforce the ownership of it.

There are many ways for a country to be fucked with without even noticing, especially when tanks are rolling down Main Street.

Reviews of the movie seem to suggest the premise is heavily divorced from political reality for the most part. CA and TX banding together is more of a “what happens if 2 of the biggest economic powerhouses of the country decide to fuck off from the union?”
