Apart from nuclear strikes, if the south and midwest wanted to secede, there would'nt be a damn thing the liberal states could do. They have no will to fight head to head. They only terrorize in small packs when they have the numbers on their side. If the South and Midwest were to secede I don't think the US would even have any soldiers or Marines left:D It's always been Southerners and Midwestern country boys who have made up the main bulk of the Army and Marine Corps. Without the South and Midwest who would they have fight their wars for them and grow their food?;)
