When the USSR went kaput
There’s an outside chance that the same thing may happen to the U.S.
The demise of the Soviet Union was complex. It was not just simply Reagen forcing them into bankruptcy.
The satellite country leaders were jealous of the centralized power and corruption and wanted it for themselves. They didn’t support Lech Walesa out of the goodness of their hearts.
Now there was and individual who changed history. We have Trump.
But I do think we have proper leadership in many states that understand freed and responsibility.
That will be the test.
The Union is “perpetual and indivisible,” so the only way out of it for states wanting that option will be violence. The law won’t support it, nor will basic nationalism.
We should expect the Sedition Act to be vigorously enforced against any of us making the attempt.
