Probably about as long as our 'modern society' would last if our economy and industry vanished. Civilisation is as thin a veneer here as it is there, the beast just feels further away.
I see, so you are proposing that our economy and industry were already sitting here fully prepped when we settled the country? Building a strong economy and industry has nothing to do with finding huge oil deposits sitting under your feet.

I wonder if that bloodbath will kill more, or less, than the half a million+ deaths that we've caused? Also, the clue is in your definition of freedom as 'ours'. Why would they wish to uphold 'our' values?
Very likely more, watch for the media embargo once the head severing starts though. Wouldn't want the American public to feel guilty
