The real downside for the rest of the world is without a doubt a second US civil war will result in minimum a few hundred nuclear weapons being detonated. Civil wars are one of the most brutal and nasty forms of warfare where some of the worst crimes against humanity regularly are played out.
Due to the nature of the US nuclear triad all sides of a second US civil war will end up with hundreds of nuclear warheads. Washington state has the US Navy nuclear weapons for the Pacific and Virginia state has the nuclear weapons for the Atlantic. States in the middle of the nation like Montana and the Dakotas have the ICBM nuclear weapons. California and Nebraska have large numbers of US Air Force nuclear weapons with the rest of the Air Force nuclear weapons being kept at dozens of US Air Force bases around the globe. All of the officially inactive but still functional nuclear warheads, numbering in the thousands, are stored in underground vaults at the PanTex facility in Texas.
hmm, it depends who takes D.C. honestly as iirc that's the only place you can launch america's supply
surely a nuclear bomb is a nuclear bomb, i cant imagine that it's completely impossible to make an alternate way to detonate them. i mean, they can be built in the first place, it's gotta be much easier to detonate them than to build them
Yeah. Washington DC doesn't have some magic key that is the only thing that can launch or detonate US nuclear weapons. All the US executive branch has are codes that the nuclear weapons armed crews of the US military use to confirm orders are legitimate. All of those crews are able to launch or detonate their weapons. This is necessary because when the US military goes to a high defcon level, if the US nuclear command and the executive branch become unresponsive, doctrine calls for local commanders to start launching nuclear weapons without orders on the assumption a decapitation strike has been made against the US. Russia and the UK also have similar fail-deadly nuclear doctrines.
