For anyone who doesn’t wanna open reddit-logo it’s the US vs the entire rest of the world. The top comments say the US could hold out, completely ignorant of what US power actually is.

    Manhattan doesn’t have Theodosian walls. I don’t know what would be the ideal retreat city for a modern war? Denver because of mountains? LA because it’s a large basin with a deep port surrounded by mountains?

      That’s are good options, though I think LA would probably be a target early in such a war. I think another option might be Detroit and the surrounding area, protected from most sides by the great lakes, and could be in control of travel over to Canada. There also the possibility that no one bothers to capture Appalachia.
