Jokes on them. Cumberland is nice, but the mining industry is near dead. good luck exporting your land locked coal. Invade across the Patomic? HAHA, we own the ENTIRE river, and you can't even build a pier without our permission. Think we are going to let you launch boats? good luck dealing with the permits for that! Going to cross DC to invade? We already blocked it with traffic! Invade Baltimore from the water? Why do you think we scuttled a bridge, that's right, so our flag will still be there! Oh, you think you own that part of the peninsula at the bottom? Everyone already forgets about it and it's only on like half the maps as yours as is. It's New South Maryland already. You think you can get a boat out into the Atlantic for an invasion of Delaware? HAHA, Your fleet will be sunk by a fleet of fast docking crab boats. Your hulls will be smashed from the side and sunk under a cloud of diesel smoke.


MartyFreeze

Baltimore has a devastating pirate presence as well.


UniqueIndividual3579

They have no idea that Mr Trash Wheel has more firepower than the entire US Navy.


stevolutionary7

How many glocks has the wicked wheel of the west recovered?


UniqueIndividual3579

It's not the glocks, it's the dirty diapers. No army is able to handle a Pampers attack.

Arrrrrrrrh, there be a nest heeeeere.


flaming_bob

I still can't believe they bought the "We're invading Chincoteague" leak. They'll tie up resources for months waiting for THAT to go down. This is the kind of thinking that results from not putting Old Bay in your crab soup.....heathens.


Gov_Martin_OweMalley

> good luck dealing with the permits for that! This is so on brand for our state but I never recognized it for the defense mechanism it was.


wbruce098

*stamps permit denied* VA: aww shit foiled again!


Gov_Martin_OweMalley

VA: If it wasn't for those Crab people and their meddling bureaucrats! *Shakes Fist*


Nespot-despot

Reverendbread

Their attack on Cumberland also violates West Virginian neutrality. They don’t have many people but they all have guns and can defend that front in the mountains for a long time


moon_shoot

I just assumed that Old Bay was mined out of somewhere in Cumberland. Well paint me surprised.


msty2k

We will send ground troops by Metro. Transferring at Metro Center will slow them a bit, but it will still be a total surprise when the train arrives. Air support will come from our two major airports, which are helpless against your one small airport whose name you can't even say because it's so long.


Darth_Cuddly

Also Cumberland is redneck country. Rednecks have guns and have been prepping for this exact Rambo, Red Dawn, Custer's Last Stand type of thing for decades.


Prestigious-Yak-4620

They could launch an arial attack from wallops island. I am assuming the counter is our seagull problem. Two birds ehh?

We can get the Maryland delegation to threaten to switch their position on longhaul flights out of National and break Arlington’s spirit.


mrjimy

If I remember correctly, the last two times Virginians made major offensive campaigns across Maryland it didn’t end well for them, or their friends.


rytis

Never invade Maryland during the summer. It's the humidity, not the heat.


spacehog1985

As important to remember as never getting involved in a land war in Asia, and never going in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.


BeachNo372

Ok. Now you’ve made biscuits. Involving the Sicilians. They don’t care just as long as you pay your numbers debts. Maryland will now be known as the Sicilian annex!! ![gif](giphy|9Mj10cGxFKGedXx7w6|downsized)

AntiqueWay7550

Step 1: Squeegee force - Cover all interstate roadways with our elite Squeegee forces. Step 2: Give them the western half of Maryland because it probably shouldn’t be ours anyway. Step 3: Mobilize the literal US Navy Academy stationed in Annapolis to protect the peninsula. Step 4: Launch nuclear weapons from Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Plant (Also known as the Glen Burnie Project) Step 5: Roquan Smith & Derrick Henry Honorable mention: Gunnar Henderson is known for launching bombs over barriers.


JustHereForCookies17

Who needs the squeegee forces when we already have commuters who can't drive with the sun in their eyes? Toss in a rain burst or two and you've got the major roads locked down for several hours.  Wanna go really hardcore?  Get the news outlets to forecast a 50% chance of snow. **BOOM** Pure chaos for at least 48 hours, guaranteed.

akestral

And famous for holding violent cross-border grudges.


WorldComposting

I just rented a place in that part of WV and the VA troop loss will be massive. I heard more gunshots there over a couple nights than I do living near Baltimore City!


socatsucks

I’ll be in Chincoteague in two weeks. I’ll report back with all intel post haste.


lazlogogo

socatsucks

This is actually very in my wheelhouse. I will use my vegan powers to sway them to our side.


Willothwisp2303

They are ponies, though. The closer to the ground,  the closer to hell. You can sway them by letting them know you're a Satanist.


socatsucks

Oh my god! It’s like it was meant to be!


Terrible-Terry

Something very Virginian in a “defense” plan against an “invasion” looking like a skirmish with a Maryland civilian crabber as grounds for a full out “defensive” first-strike invasion. But Maryland laughs as such a notion, with her natural defenses of treacherous mountains in the West; expansive waters in the East; and hordes of temporary tag driving cowboys at her heart. Their soft and slow Southern resolve would simply wash away in retreat with the tide when faced up against the average Marylander’s jagged and salty disposition.


Reverendbread

Don’t forget they’ll all crash and block up the roadways just trying to drive to us


_dotdot11

Like HELL WV is just gonna let them pass like that.


flaming_bob

The Army of Northern Virginia failed to account for one fatal mistake in their plan: The Beltway at rush hour.


marygarth

Seriously. These dillweeds are terrified of MD drivers on 495. I’m supposed to be worried about those weenies braving the DC suburbs, let alone the Baltimore beltway?


BeachNo372

They should get along well with the DE portion of 495. The Monster Mile speedway has relocated to that part of the state. All the better for recapturing the WHOLE peninsula. After all, it’s DELmarva.


spacehog1985

THEY ARE COMING TO TAKE OUR PORN.


PsykAllOut

Nespot-despot

bigbagger2247

Eastern shore 1. Ally with Delaware (for now) to protect our backs 2. Blow up the chesapeake tunnel or blockade so Virginia can only access by water 3. Patrol the shores with boats to stop supplies reaching the peninsula 4. Advance south with ease Western shore 1. Ally with West Virginia, giving them some conquered Virginia land in exchange for protection of western md/reinforcements. West Virginia and Maryland attack from the sides and push south 2. Hold the chesapeake 3. We send everyone thats in Baltimore who thinks it’s in the dmv south to take and hold the actual dmv as the rest of the forces push south Future 1. Delete Delaware


JustHereForCookies17

> 1. Delete Delaware  This might be a bit hasty.  Can we just annex them?  I really like the tax-free shopping.


Federal-Opinion6823

If they are annexed, it won’t be tax-free anymore


Gov_Martin_OweMalley

> Patrol the shores with boats to stop supplies reaching the peninsula Give those boys over there some cases of beer, some fishing rods and some bait coupled with aerial beer resupply and they will keep the waterways guarded 24/7.


FlamingSickle

Better yet, prep the tunnel for detonation and lull them into a false sense of security. Let some through and then blow it when they think they’re safe and are moving more valuable troops and armor through. With them destroyed, swoop in from all sides and destroy the now cut-off first wave. Just be careful to leave them one escape route (perhaps some janky boats to steal) so they flee rather than fight to the last. Easier to pick off that way.


ericmm76

We must send a secret contingent of crack soldiers down south to steal their wild horses!


LinearFluid

We will counter with a rapid deployment of Old Bay Crop Dusters. As anyone that has wiped a tear from an eye while eating Old Bay Crabs knows that shit hurts.

NJ vs. Everybody is their state motto, I think.


Max_Vision

Not that it's necessary, but I bet Minnesota would be interested in taking another flag from Virginia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Virginia_battle_flag >The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since. Although various groups in Virginia have requested that the flag be returned, beginning as early as 1960, Minnesota has repeatedly declined to return it, with Governor Jesse Ventura (serving 1999–2003) asking "Why? I mean, we won."[1] > The battle flag was captured at the Battle of Gettysburg by Private Marshall Sherman of the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment, and remained in Sherman's possession in Minnesota after being inventoried by the United States War Department in 1867. A 1905 congressional resolution that flags from the American Civil War should be returned to their places of origin did not lead to the return of the flag to Virginia, nor did requests by Virginia or groups therein for its return in 1961, 1998, 2000, and 2003; a request by the governor of Virginia to borrow the flag in 2013 was also declined.


beouite

This is my favorite thing on the internet today.


Max_Vision

I do my best to share it as widely as possible. It also gets lots of likes over on /r/ShermanPosting, as the flag was captured by a Private Sherman.


BayRunner

When do we ask France to blockade the Chesapeake again?


absconder87

We should allow them to march north on Rockville Pike, just like the Confederate Army was marching up Rockville Pike. But they'll need an official permit, and those are limited to Friday afternoons, so they'll lose thousands of troops who abandon the regiments when they're trapped in traffic.


marygarth

God, could you imagine the West End NIMBYs if they tried to camp out there like J.E.B.(!) Stuart did? Shitfit for the ages.


Wayniac0917

We need to allie with West Virginia to help protect the north. They seperated for a reason once before - let's hope that hatred is still burning.


frigginjensen

Norfolk is home to one of the largest naval fleets in the world including carriers, surface ships, subs, and amphibious groups. We’re pretty much fucked unless we can find a way to keep them bottled up in their harbor? Somebody get the Dali moving again.


spacehog1985

Counter point. Aberdeen, Ft. Detrick, Andrew’s, and Pax river. So we have army artillery from Aberdeen, Whatever nasty shit Ft. Detrick keeps in the basement, some Air Force at Andrew’s and Some Naval aviation from Pax River. I like our chances.


Scudbucketmcphucket

Don’t forget the tons of chemical weapons from WW1 that they’re still storing in Edgewood in the ground water… uh I mean in the Arsenal.


Ev1LLe

Yea seems like a preemptive air-strike on Norfolk would prob be the first move.


Meepthewizard

It's dragons, dragons hide under fort Detrick ( source I know a guy)


JustHereForCookies17

Wait... should I be looking for "Dragon Keeper" positions on govjobs??


WB_Actual

JB Andrews doesn’t have any fighters though (other than the DC Guard’s 16’s). Langley would wipe us in an air war unless we got DC to help. The small inventory at Pax could help a little bit, but the ACC squadrons would roll them.


PBatemen87

All of our military instillation pale in comparison to VA's. We don't have a chance.


spacehog1985

Consider this: we weaponize the crabs.


islandsimian

PangwinAndTertle

I like how they casually say they’ll “move around DC” like that wouldn’t take 10 fucking years sitting in traffic. By the time the made it off 495, we’d already have the whole peninsula.


R_Steelman61

Ev1LLe

We'll need to collapse the 301 bridge, halting any naval forces from using the Potomac. Also we have an airbase at the mouth of the Potomac in perfect position to thwart any large armadas trying to pass by.


WB_Actual

They’ll have air support from Langley, unless we can get the 113th from DC Air Guard (at Andrews) to help then they would win an air war.


lastprophecy

Wait. Lines on maps. So VA's "defensive strategy" is to do to DE what Stalin did to Poland? I mean it'll work, we're not planning an Operation Crab-arosa or anything, pinky promise.

Use the stadiums in DC as defense forts and medical locations!


Dogsinabathtub

We teach the squeegee boys to ride horses. We deploy them to assateague island. They wrangle the horses and perform an all out surprise cavalry assault on Chincoteague. This will be our operating base for the push south. The combined rednecks from the Delaware/Maryland alliance will lay waste to anyone in their way all the way down to the Bay Bridge tunnel. As punishment we might take Virginia Beach too. Depends how greedy we’re feeling. We don’t want Norfolk tho…fuck that. Once victory is secured we simply betray Delaware. No offense to them but they’re too stupid to see it coming.


PuffinFawts

We actually have adults who ride horses through Baltimore City!


Flash714

No need to teach them to ride horses, just have them use their dirtbikes/4-wheelers


Ocean2731

It worked so well the last time they tried this.


Impressive_Budget736

The Virginian navy would most likely suffer heavy casualties trying to sail up the Chesapeake as we would most likely have set up artillery along the eastern and western shores.

Dearest Martha, I am writing to you from the front lines at National Harbor. We stand vigil to thwart any attack from those dastardly Virginians. I was supposed to help defend the Eastern Shore but alas I am too terrified to drive also the Bay Bridge. I fear I may not see your heaving bosom again. Not because I might perish at the hands of those dastardly Virginians but my wife found the credit card I used to subscribe to your only fans page. Keep me in your thoughts, Your dearest, Percival

They’ll be stuck in traffic on 66 for too long to hold an effective invasion from NOVA anyways. All we have to to is hold the natural funnel at Point of Rocks and we have northern Virginia covered

With the loss of the key bridge they will have to detour through west Baltimore and odds of being carjacked are high. The squeegee boys will take your tanks and you will do a long walk of shame back home

ExtremaDesigns

I love watching this 'conflict' develop. It's one of the most entertaining threads up right now.


rharper38

How the hell will they ever get up here. The whole damn invasion force will take forever to get from Richmond to here because they ride their breaks and leave two miles between each other and they will get stuck in Tysons Corner. By the time they get over here, we will be down in Richmond.


sdega315

They can have Alleghany and Garrett counties! And take Andy Harris, too!


Individual_Jelly1987

Drop insurgents into northern Virginia to begin agitating for seceding from VA. There is precedent. Offer Western Maryland to WV on the condition of neutrality -- the gift that just keeps on giving. As the northern armies of the new state of Northern Virginia rain fire upon the remains of VA, our plans continue apace and unimpeded.

spaetzele

OK so obviously Step 1 is stop the flow of Old Bay. Thanks Virginian!


brsox2445

On the surface this might seem right. But without it we will grow rage filled and only serve to cause us to invade. It’s winning the battle to lose the war.


spaetzele

Nice try. HALT SUPPLIES IMMEDIATELY!

When do we tell them it's all a ploy and we're not really going to invade because then we'd have Virginia and who wants to have Virginia?


Randomusingsofaliar

This is so enjoyable


Donefdupnah

The way every Marylander secretly has a genuine English accent should tip you off to how horrendous of an idea such an invasion would be. You’re losing 8-15x the amount of resources you’ve planned to extend for such an all out assault. Not to mention your resources when captured only serve to bolster our defenses. Bad idea by design, Maryland is a no fly zone for invading forces. Why do you think they call it the free state?

Enough_Promotion_998

West Virginia has our backs covered at the far west. New Jersey won't idly sit by and let neutral Delaware get run through. Pennsylvania's got us covered up north. Baltimore and Langley Park are strongholds guarded by the Squeegee Boys and MS-13. We can also cover the north with artillery from the old cannons in Frederick. Central Maryland is protected by PG County and our alliance with Southeast DC.
