Kansas is a possibility. I mean think about it: Every state above and including Oklahoma is a Farm Belt state. That means we grow your food, bitches. If the five farm belt states band together and mount a SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE, we could hole up and starve the rest of the US into submission.
It's brilliant, I tell you. We just need to get over that first hurdle that is the initial invasion.
Caps added, because that's the problem right there-huge area of land to defend, not enough people. Why do you think agricultural areas get swept in weeks, like Russia?
Yeah, you'll notice I kind of emphasized that myself. Initial hurdle usually suggests that there is, in fact, a problem to be solved.
Moving on, to counteract that glaring problem, suppose we use the scorched earth policy as we retreat? Fall back to a smaller area, easier to defend, with burnt crops all around us. That way they WILL be starved by the time they hit us.
