If a country declared war on half the u.s

For example, if Russia declared war on only the consistently red states, would the blue states join in on the conflict in a civil war? And same question about red states if a country declared war on consistently blue states.

    A declaration of war against any state or states of the United States I’m pretty sure would simply be interpreted by the federal government as a declaration of war against the United States. Could a civil war also theoretically happen if some states didn’t want to participate in this war with Russia? Sure, anything is possible.

      Could they do it? No not really, legally states dont work with other countries in a diplomatic sense. All foreign relations are the federal goverments problem. If a state succeeds from the union, they arent a state anymore. But that would be a very extreme action for a state to do over something as benign as a war. Plus 2/3rds of all states have to agree to that beforehand. As a state of the united states federation you have to contribute to the war effort.

        What I meant is they COULD do it, but yes you are right it wouldn’t be considered legal by the federal government. It would be like a civil war.

          I mean 2/3rds is a good pressure release valve for succession. More than half. But if it's less than 2/3rds you can totally take those who want to succeed to prison especially when they make threats.

    I'd imagine they'd be drafted and forced to. I don't know ow if they'd want to, I don't think the extremes of either political side would be too enthusiastic to help each other.

    No because america threatening civil war is like France burning down Paris. Happens often but we arent that serious about it

    Shit hits the fan you would be surprised how bipartisan and straightforward our politics can be.
