This is something I have thought about before, but the question for me has always been "who will be our Franco?" Large sections of the Spanish military and (crucially) the Spanish officer corps/military brass were very politicized by the time Franco stormed in from the Canary Islands and kicked things off. Yet, our military is not nearly at that point yet. The other key element that exacerbated the civil war was foreign intervention, with heavy support from Mussolini and Hitler playing a decisive role in ensuring Nationalist victory over the Soviet-backed Republicans. It is interesting to think about which foreign actors would intervene in Civil War 2.0, and which side each would be on. Would Russia and China be on the same side, or would they both try to play both sides? How would Israel get involved? Would the Saudis have a role?This is similar to how the Spanish Civil War started BTW. I've always thought American Civil War 2 is going to be like the Spanish Civil War, and you better believe there's gonna be some serious RWDS action.
