It’s also the fastest way to create a civil war situation. Nuclear weapons reside in more than one state and the question of what to do with the weapons in various states will be an issue. Seceding states aren’t going to want to be defenseless next door to a christo-fascist state.
The result of disagreement over what to do with weaponry can only be civil war surely?
When the USSR broke up I believe the KGB took control of the nuclear facilities and the CIA even helped them because everyone agrees that having uncontrolled and unaccounted for nukes is very bad. I would guess that in the event of US balkanization the CIA would do the same, and if they failed to do so I’d expect Chinese, Russian, and British intelligence to assist.
