People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).

So is this what CW2 looks like?

P.S. I'm a Brit

Seems to be a distinct possibility. Posturing prior to the election, rattling sabers, they're spoiling for a full-on shootin' war contingent on losing the election, in my opinion.

edit: I dare say, it might even be strategically advantageous for them to intentionally try lose, claim it was rigged, and use that to go live with the 4th riech.

I think the tactical nukes will slow their ambitions for another hundred or so years. We can't take these posturing fools seriously.

Have you just not been paying attention for the last...decade?

Yes, we absolutely should.

No one is using a tactical nuke on US soil. We have enough conventional bombs to destroy ourselves anyway.

And yet, we must. Assume your enemy will lose, but prepare for them to win.
