Binkov, please make Republican vs Democrats in US 2nd civil war as predicted by Baba Vanga. Your Texas (Republican) vs California (Democrats) is just the beginning.

And Netherlands

Yah i kind of wish he placed New Mexico on the side of California and Arizona on the side of Texas. This wayTexas would have to try and help Arizona and California would have to try and alleviate New Mexico, before somewhere clashing head-on. While in the meantime Arizona nad New Mexico are fighting each other, 2 front wars. Sort of making Arizona and New Mexico the Balkans of the region and starting a bigger war lol... But if Arizona can hold of Cali in like trech warfare, while Texas steam rolls right through New Mexico, that could sort of change where the real fighting takes place. Basically in the hills of Arizona.

Best joke! Lol take a bow 👏 👏 👏 👏

Then who's going to be the Soviet Union? Florida?

@@falfon4706 You did well son.

the real tell is that both California and Texas would be in the top 10 most wealthy nations without the US. (US would still be first or second though, even without Cali and Texas)

Texas and California have a disproportionate amount of US military hardware. Fort Hood in Texas is a massive training center for tanks, and as the video mentioned, California has a large part of the Pacific fleet.

@@kokofan50 This. If we looked at the dakotas we'd be counting police departments haha.

This is the South: Dr Pepper!

Florida: cocaine

The rust belt: Meth

I also believe that it would be a immediate race to reach the Air Force Boneyard. Anything that could be re-activated even outdated is one more jet that can carry one more bomb or missile and is also one more opponent for each side to face. The Bombers would be the main prize as well. The race will be likely who can get there. hold it and try to squirrel away with as much loot as they could back to the state before one gets pissed off enough to raze it to the ground. However I have a feeling the California would reach it first due to logistically being better and having likely a faster response time. If it could the CR would use the base as a FOB and use it to stage attacks on incoming Texan forces as it began to grab anything that could fly, or drag away. I've seen the maps. the base has enough transports to move a significant amount of aircraft, Its likely by the time Texans did manage to push back CR forces the state would have picked most of the good stuff and razed the rest. California also has a really nasty surprise if you look for the Sierra Army Depot near Nevada. Take a look. Yeah its really damn unfair at how much resources the state actually has at its disposal. I know the state was a heavily militerised state, but when you actually look into it. Its shocking how well armed California actually is.

Tucson is blue, but a lot of people are also right leaning. That would be a civil war in its self.

@@AZrakoon this hypothetical conflict would be less about political republican or democratic lines and more about acquiring resources, land and influence. Former political alliegences would be non-existent as in this situation the US no longer exist at least in the west as a power. Everyone is at this point carving out new powers. It's likely Arizona wouldnt have the capability to defend itself adequately against either force and California would provide massive benefits to Arizona as well as Texas in terms of food, political influence and resources not to mention protection as both states have substantial national gaurd forces and that's not including any former US forces that joined the states. If your correct about a civil war in Arizona it would make the state easier for conquest from either side and likely realistically in such a hypothetical situation Arizona likely would end up split as a buffer state between California and Texas or more likely conquered by Californa and used as a buffer state against Texas which likely would focus east and north. Texas would try, but more than likely the two former states would come to a treaty of Arizona and push interest elsewhere.

If Texas gets them first, California can just bomb them with cruise missiles

@@phsynode4964 Bring them into the war more so than having their towns literally shelled by two combatants trying to hit each other on their territory?

@@phsynode4964 hopefully my state teams up to defeat California. They deserve an asset king by my estimate

@Allen In 2003 some overgrown trees in Ohio cause some downed lines. This ended up causing a cascade failure that took out the power for 55 million people as far east as Massachusetts, as far south as Maryland, and as far north as Toronto. The large multi-state grids are particularly vulnerable to a cascade failure at any point in the line. To do as you suggest California would need to protect the skies over every major western node around the clock while also breaching air defenses over Texas and scoring a critical hit. Texas, on the other hand, could just protect its own airspace and score a critical hit anywhere else on the western grid and render California dark. Hell, you don't even need to crash the entire western grid. California is already unable to supply its own electrical needs, as is evidenced by this past summer's blackouts. Nail any supplier that sends power to California and they're on their back foot. It's just not viable for California to prevent its power from getting cut while simultaneously knocking out Texas'.

lol ikr

Also F35s at Ellington Field in Houston to protect the coast.

and several major airbases

@@justarandomtechpriest1578 California has a shit ton of major air force bases as well, including ones that have B-2 bombers.

Bro, we literally have F-35’s on carriers in California. We can sail right up to Houston and deploy them there. Meanwhile F-35’s from Texas would be tied up fighting Californian planes over the desert of Arizona and New Mexico. So yes, California does have air superiority.

@@chairmanofrussia Bro, you ever heard of attrition? Texas has the infrastructure and military power to simply drain you of military resources, if the military forces of both states did go to war, I hope you know that California would fall into Chaos in days...

We already did that once

But there is no such thing as a solid red or blue state. The cities tend to be blue and outside tends to be red. That is certainly true here in Fl which is classified as a "red" state but in reality if we had a political party based war, it would be more county vs. county but even then, I have neighbors who are independent, Repub. and Dem.

That would be based.

@@demun6065 Thank you so much

People must understand that many people who play FPS games are current or former servicemembers.

Eh well some FPS games have proven to improve troop preformence...One of the reasons most armies have military simulators and why some games are supported by their countries militaries. Propoganda aside games do desansetize potential soldiers and can give some basic knowlage or experience.

You say that but I swear I can run faster when holding a knife.

@@usonumabeach300 You need to redefine how you use the word 'many', service members (current or former) make up a tiny amount of the population, especially compared to the amount of people who game. The original point still stands, the Californian gamers who spend their days snacking in their gaming chairs would piss themselves when confronted with experienced outdoorsmen that are well versed in firearms. Binkov's scenario's always assume that both sides have a strong will to fight, but in a real war it's always the people with the most determined population that wins, and the soy boys would run for their safe spaces the moment things got tough. Say what you like about Texas, but those people are fanatical about protecting their homeland, they wouldn't give an inch

@@command_unit7792There's a world of difference between a military simulator and Call of Duty. Have you ever actually been in an airforce combat simulator? Most video games are designed to feed your ego, they're trying to make you feel like an action hero. They don't teach you close infantry tactics, they don't teach you how to actually fire a weapon and they don't teach you how to be physically fit (all of which are vital). They're designed to make you feel good, so they're designed to be winnable and don't require real lateral thinking (just that you learn the game rules). Only the most violent games desensitise people, your average game isn't as gory as real life. Movies probably do more to desensitise than video games. You seem the kind of person who doesn't know the difference between playing Medal of Honour and actually being deserving of one.

The word you’re looking for is morale

The average person's loyalty is irrelevant. Most of the military personnel in any state are not from that state. I was in the USMC in California and I live in Texas now, pretty sure the fifth column would be the US military itself in California...

@@spiffyracc thanks for pointing it out.

For the sake of his videos' he always has to assume equal morale. but you are correct, I have to imagine Californians are considerably less likely to want to be at war than the "Succession is in our constitution" Texans.

@@usecriticalthinking243 There are more soldiers serving in the military born in California then there are Texas. About 20,000 more to be exact. It’s not a crazy huge difference but it a difference. Percentage wise, Texans are more likely to serve though.

he said in the video that the people in the state become loyal to it

Realistically the California National Guard outnumbers the California based USMC bout 10 to 1. And the National Guard has more air assets than the USMC in California.

I guess the Texan self-image as bad-asses tends to increase the recruitment rates.

I got out in 2013 from 2/1 and it’s still that way.

Californian's are pretty well armed too, but individual gun ownership doesn't mean anything in a conventional war. It's about resources, logistics and manpower. Both states are very formidable when it comes to that and despite the rep of California being a bunch of woke soyboys. The military recruits heavily from California and trains many troops there because of the diverse biome that allow training in various environments. The state is also less on the heavier side, I used to be a buck 50 before moving to Texas and gaining 0 pounds on the food here. Anyways I wouldn't count Texas out either but it's certianly not because of the big mouths that own 20 taticool guns and vote republican. Those people are a liability if anything.

@@enclave1165 pretty much. Texan militias would get roflstomped by the marines

Texas produces 40% of US oil production.

Yes but the climate is much more hospitable.

But Commissar Binkov says it's more likely a defensive war on both since both them can't push too far. So trench warfare may be? Imagine digging trenches all the way from Canada border to Florida

You realize texas is the largest gas producer in the us?

Biniov does not take into account many things. He is wrong with most things unfortunately. As a former soldier I can attest to what may play out more than his scenarios from first hand experience in things.

Well, our sock puppet left out Green Beret's how many in each state in service and retired. They would be with the military and well are force multipliers.

I think the air force edge and naval dominance give this one to Cali, though it would be interesting to see the breakdown with just national guard forces.

What about State Guards? (aka State Defense Forces aka State Militias?)

Its not realistic to expect California to support anything beyond maybe a few subs in the gulf, to far from bases for anything else. Also the f16 and f35 are built in texas, Texas stays defensive long enough to build up enough airpower and then goes on the offense. Even if the gulf is blockaded can still trade over land borders. On the gun issue, California bans the most military use type of firearms, semi auto rifles. Texas has a huge number of them, I've got five in my own house and I'm not unusual. There are also many manufacturers in the state. Infantry can also be trained in just a few months plus Texas has a huge veteran population and many have moved here from other states. Just a few points more points that would swing things in texas's favor.

California has the edge. Our Navy Seals would run circles around your militias lol. 🤣

One Navy Seal Platoon would easily capture smaller texan town's. People really do over estimate the power of civilian militia lol. 🤣
