Coming to any number of 50 U.S. states.

Canada has already endured 2 referenda on Quebec separation. The separatist PQ government recently called an snap election. Support for the PQ has plummeted, mainly because most Québecois don't want to risk another referendum on separatism.

I expect the map of Europe to look VERY different by 2020.

What people see today is just part of a natural process of Europe consolidating into empires and or nation-states and then disintegrating into smaller, more ethnically homogenous units. This video is a brief example of it.

Italy, Spain, the UK, and Belgium are as artificial as Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and Austria-Hungary were. The Americus are just fortunate that such changes are not frequent. The past 120 years saw almost no major border shifts.

Only Germany will be able to weather the tide of secession(s) that will hit the continent.

Not the same at all—Is Catalonia planning on joing France? In history there are two forces—Balkanism—states breaking into smaller ones, and Imperialism—large state taking over smaller ones to form superstates (like Roman Empire). What happened in Russia was Imperialism—Russia getting bigger. Votes in Scotland and Venice are examples of Balkanism—states breaking up. Its all about power (imperialism) and weakness (Balkanism).

Who is to say, these guys can breakaway, but no you guys can’t?

We encouraged Kosovo to breakaway from Serbia.

Would like to see a secession vote for forming the State of Jefferson, Northern California/Southern Oregon.

Europe will sizzle and shimmer as it always has.

What matters is what happens here when Normalcy breaks down.

Wish we would (peacefully) secede from the socialists on both the left-coast and in the NE.

And the MSM will still be debating what happened to the plane.
