Several comments asking about the full reason why Omaha was destroyed. There was no one big reason, and like real life, the military had several reasons to do so that would benefit them.

-Resource drain. Omaha was unable to contribute as much as the CRM was according to their projections, and would deplete the CRM needlessly if this continued.
-They wanted to test their modified chlorine gas for Project Volus and capture a bunch of recently reanimated test subjects for their project to cure the Wildfire Virus.
-Politics: The Civic Republic Military is essentially its own government that has been running the civilian Civic Republic. From what we know from both the World Beyond and Ones Who Live, the military would hand back control of the government to the civilians after 10 years, but oh no a large city was overrun and the world is still dangerous, the military must remain in power for longer. Nearly all of the civilians have no idea what the military has been up to all this time, and even within the military, only about 10% are actually corrupt and evil.
-New World Order: It’s not enough to be the most powerful remaining power in the world, they must be the ONLY remaining power. With their 500 year plan and taking out any major powers who could pose a threat, they want to remake the world in their image. Omaha was just one of the first major steps.

I mean if the CRM found out about Campus Coloney and Omaha, and also a little Junkyard group - How couldn’t they find the Commonwealth, a population of 50, 000?

It's funny how the best that the Commonwealth can do is record a commercial on VHS casette tapes and show it to people on an old CRT box television, when the CRM has working cable and a news broadcast lmao. The city remains as before the apocalypse. The Commonwealth was only preserved.

Commonwealth isn’t a true threat to the CRM, and are self-sustaining and civilized. Also close enough to keep them under surveillance but not in the security zone.

[RyanBoddy]

I reckon the CRM left the commonwealth alone because the commonwealth was self sustaining, unlike Omaha which is why they killed them all

[ScoutsIX]

Ohio has enormous amounts of corn farming, so I figured that the Commonwealth's vehicles were being fueled with biodiesel.

I'm honestly still refuse to believe the fact that this show now contains a season that has group of people dress like discount Storm Troopers.

The end of TWD comes months after The Ones Who Live, this would explain why the CRM didn't make contact with the Commonwealth after Ezekiel and Mercer became the leaders of the community

[A.kirkwood]

I’m addicted to your channel binged all of your vids yesterday now you drop me another 😭😭❤️❤️

[sisterdebmac]

One thing you didn't mention that I found interesting in TWD S 11 was that When Rosita investigates Tyler Davis's apartment, she finds that the rebels had drawings of CRM soldier helmets as well as Commonweath stormtrooper helmets in their literature and posters. She had no idea what she was seeing, but eagle-eyed viewers recognized it.

[brianachim]

I think Ezekiel, Mercer, Daryl and Carol never finding out about the deal is simple, they forgot about Designation 2.😂

I wish we got more with the Commonwealth and CRM. There was so much they could’ve done with these storylines, dammit Gimple.

[mortem-tyrannis]

I want to see how the CRM will react to the new leadership of the Commonwealth, they may send Rick to get a SITREP from the CW and open up a whole bunch of crazy situations being the CRM doesn't know his affiliation with the new leaders.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but truthfully im far more interested in T.O.W.L. in the sense of what Rick does with the CRM the the relationship with Michonne on that i couldn't care less.

You're Channel Is a real treasure for twd fans like me❤

[matthewertle]

Daryl and Rosita however found pictures and blankets with people wearing what looked like helmets and face masks, that looked like CRM soldiers. That found that stuff cause a former soldier mentioned that there were more people who will rise up. Sadly they never followed up on that.

[Ms.Andrist]

I never liked anything since S6, but watched anyway. Rick is the only reason I started watching TWD in the first place and when he left during S9 I was done, but I kept watching. RICK is TWD.

[CTripodi]

Gimple and Kang should get together and get this whole thing between the Commonwealth and CRM (CRP) straightened out. Both owe it to the huge fanbase of TWD.

[kingdevin_]

It would have been very interesting of Commonwealth and CRM coming in contact. I still have a theory that Lance had contact with CRM considering they didn't go to the Commonwealth. 50, 000 people could be a threat if given the right motivation but maybe Commonwealth wasn't a huge enough threat for the CRM to take action. I didn't even think about Destination B being a version of an A. I dont like how much is not explained but then it gives us chances to come up with theories until we get explanations. Considering CRM has dropoff points across the US, they definitely should know about Commonwealth but we'll have to wait and see. Correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure The Ones Who Live takes place before the Commonwealth arc because our main group would probably find out about CRM. And the fact they mentioned Omaha being destroyed fits the timeline of World Beyond too. But thanks again for your explanation on these two groups!

I found your channel this week and was surprised how few views the videos had. It was a blast to binge watch all of your stuff. I have never watched TWD because it seemed like a dragged out show which alienated its fan base. So your videos summarizing arcs in a consicise way was nothing but perfect for me to get into this interesting story without loosing hours to the show. Thank you and hope you can find the well deserved recognition very soon! ❤

I just realized how much Commonwealth armor is bootleg storm troopers
