I'll give you a couple of solutions:

1) Keep on fighting until, like the Gingham dog and the Calico cat, nothing is left.

2)Stop fighting and cooperate.

since no one of significance on either side seems to be willing to try 2), that leaves 1).....and unless some idiot DOES manage to throw nukes into the game, that means 1) will probably go on for a long, long, time.


once more: (did anyone READ it the first time?...No? I guess it didn't fit your agenda of bickering over hypotheticals)

All this debate over who 'might' do what to whom is just posturing and using minutiae to say "I want it my way, and I'll whup anyone who tries to interfere!"

It's not much different, except in details, from Green vs. Orange Ireland.... or Ethnic Serbs vs Ethnic Bosnians ....or Cattlemen vs. Sheepmen ...or Crips vs. Bloods!
