If the the second american civil war really happened there would be alot of drastic consquences to the world.
Without the US as a Deterrent The Russians, Chinese, North Korea and Iranians will be free to do what they want since we are distracted by killing each other. The Russians will invade Eastern Europe and Alaska, while China would have invaded Taiwan and head further South Until they invaded Australia. Noth Korea would invade South Korea and Japan while Iran would attack the Saudi Arabia and destroy their oil fields. Another fallout is that Israel would have been invaded by an Islamic Army since the West is no longer there to support Israel. So the question is should we really start a civil war/revolution because Alot more people will die in the world if we ended up fighting the Second American Civil war

I think you got it all wrong.
Without the US military around to conduct the dirty business of the world elite we might just see peace on earth for a change. Imagine a world free of CIA coups and meddling.
Israel would have to be nice to the Palestinians for a change and halt all of their illegal settlements (imagine that). Hell, they might even have to cede all of their land grabs and start acting like good kids for a change.
Russia don't want a piece of Europe to begin with. Who told you that? Ronald Reagan? Russia is fine with Russia.
And I truly doubt that it is the USA who is keeping China from taking Taiwon if they want it. We'd never risk a full blown war with them these days over that small patch of land to begin with.
Iran wouldn't attack anyone. They would develope their nuclear energy and waltz right into a modern energy grid for their people. .Boo Hoo. And if they developed a nuke or two then that would be their own business (much like it was for the USA and Israel) unless they used it. But past history proves that they are not bellicose nor land grab happy like some other countries we know.
If the USA is anything to the world these days it is a destabilizing element. A rogue nation. Not a factor for stability.

Those are some strategic possibilities, but have you thought of the possibility that they might actually
hold fast? The reason being, a "cheap shot' or 'kicked when you are down'' could result in the overreaction
of the offended to move to larger hardware and even "cheaper shots". You do not want to even begin to go
down that road. We don't spend more on military capability than ALL the other next nine or so countries in the world combined
for nothing. Even if a giant percentage of that is waste,kickbacks,fraud,cooked books, and unaccounted for,
(which with all due respect to my country,really pixxes me off especially in this economic climate,) that is a
serious force to be reckoned with. One of the possible results would be the offending parties waking up one
day soon only to realize they have had an involuntary sex change, or at least thoroughly Believing such, if you catch my drift.
Another possible result could be "bring out your dead" . There are a myriad of solutions in between....
Waiting to be plotted. Kinda scary wouldn't you say? Alaska,,,You Really don't want to mess with that.
I've been there,,,most folks are military connected, well armed, and Patriotic in their own way.
I like your open thoughts,,, but a scenario like that would make "Water Boarding" look like a weekend sport.
