I'm sure our wonderful, ever so thoughtful government has already thought this through.
Does any one know how America's nuclear, biological and chemical weapons will be secured in the anarchy to follow a governmental failure?
Will they be used to make sure that they don't fall into the wrong hands or sold on the black market to make sure that indivual military
installations remain at least partially funded?
There is a sub-infrastructure commonly known as the military - the US is not Pakistan, or former Soviet satellite states. A bteakdown of society has
no bearing on the way nukes are handled ... unless an outside entity such as Russia, China, etc has caused the breakdown in society. If that's the
case, those who are guilty of causing the problem have everything to fear and absolutley no hope.
It would not be like there is a diplomat in place to keep the "birds" from flying. Oh no, There would be hell to pay and the military would be
rather zealous to see to it that the guilty parties pay ion much worse ways that the US.
Who knows, whenit's over maybe Uganda will be the only state still standing.
