Some would, and might still, label me crazier than Alex Jones(who probably isn’t sounding so crazy anymore) for thinking that this country couldn’t break up. Hope it doesn’t, but it needs a serious cleaning out and re-alignment of the values and ideals that made it great and a complete rejection of all things “Left, Progressive, Liberal, Socialist”.
A Russian economist wrote about it. At the time, it may have seemed like nothing but propaganda from Putin, but maybe not so much anymore. While I do think there’s a chance it could, I don’t definitely don’t think the map in the WSJ article is even remotely close to how it would shake out. No way that any part of this country would ever come under the control of Canada and certainly not Mexico. There are millions of vets that wouldn’t allow that to happen.

Anywho, if it ever did happen, I think the South, Midwest and Mountain states would band together. Parts of Eastern Washington and Oregon, both of which are completely different than their fellow statesmen from the western parts of their states, would want in. Throw in NorCal, WVa, Western Virgina & Maryland, Western Pennsylvania, and whatever country that would become of that comglomeration would have pretty much have all the energy resources to sustain itself. The West Coast and Northeast, to include Md, Del, DC and Northern Va, would die on the vine.
