Okay Randal and the president were working together to First turn off the power end civilization and high tale it to Cuba where they wait . Then Second wait 15 years till someone turns the power back on , so they could nuke the two republics that had regained some power and status as individual countries, so they could then come back and regain power by taking over each town one by one and make them all "Anytown U.S. A.". So why would someone go to such lengths to take over control of the continent after 15 years of waiting in Cuba? I mean in Jericho it made sense. The despotic Cheny like vice president sets up nukes in all the major cities in the country to destabilize the country so they could set up a Allied States of America in what was the western part of the country. But I can't imagine why in this world they went to such an elaborate long winded plan that takes place over 15 years ,to just regain power over the now uncivilized , savage country. The parts don't add up to me or I just don't have the "patriot" way of thinking. End civilization across the globe , so you can take over control of a country that is now disorganized and can't even defend itself from friends or foes. I just don't see what the end game is here.
