#The Executive Branch, The Legislative, Judical, Pentagon, and perhaps
350,000 residents of DC, Virginia, Maryland; all gone in a flash.
Guess1: It would take months to establish some kind of government, probably
military in nature, to maintain order, ensure command and control of nuclear
warhead missles, submarines, etc.
Guess1a) This might never occur in the face of a national insurrection
Guess2: There would be a world-wide economic depression, as a result of the
slowness of any kind of temporary or permanent government to take command.
See Guess1, and refer to Guess1a for the reasons for a much longer economic
depression.
Guess2a) The ceasing of Social Security payments, entitlements, the physical
destruction of DC records would also halt payments to State and city
Governments; and thus ensure a depression happens.
Guess3a) The possible fracturing of the US into geographic, religious,
ideological, and race/ethic territories, would likely cause:
a) cessation of trade with China, Japan, South Korea.
b) These states would likely then cease purchase from Europe.
Guess4) China and Russia might negotiate spheres of influence, and perhaps
seeing when the aquistion of American territory might be venturable.
Guess4a) Australia and New Zealand capitulating, as well as Japan, South
Korea, and South East Asian under The New Chinese Hegemony
The Former Soviet Union now establishing itself as nominal leader of the EU,
or rather military leader. Read Russian hegemony. A new Russian Empire
5)Allah has judged the Crusader! Now to liberate Al Quds from the Jews.
Resulting in Israel using nuclear weapons against the newly energized
Arab-Islamic movement. What would result is not clear. Beyond many dead,
that is.
6) Pakistan and India might stay out of this global mess, perhaps until the
dust clears. Maybe they would get dragged in?
There are other scenarios and and other games to play with such scenarios.
The lesson to be learned may not be clear except that you may hate the USA,
but it may not be until your great grandchildrens' adulthood, before most
nations will experience the liberty we enjoy now.
