A Russian professor named Igor Panarin has been predicting for more than 10 years that the U.S. will soon break-up into smaller parts.
Will America Split, Again?

The picture in my original post of America split three ways was found on the web. I was just looking for a map graphic. Reality is I can see the country breaking up into almost 6 separate smaller countries. With Texas, Alaska, and Hawaii all becoming countries of their own.

They are probably the only ones who could pull it off. California will just join Mexico.

If it happens (and I don't think it will), that's the way it will be. If the country breaks up Hawaii will go its own way. Probably Alaska will too.

People who think other states would join up with Texas are dreaming. There would just be too much struggle for supremacy. Either Texas would break up into other states or it would absorb them. The rest of the Plains states, say, wouldn't want to just be the tail to a Texas dog.

It would be the same way with California. No way would Arizona or Nevada or Utah join up with them. California might break in two, and each part might join up with other states, though.

Speculating about this is a little embarrassing, but I don't think the Russian professor understands America that well. Kentucky and Tennessee wouldn't end up in the same country with Connecticut and Massachusetts. Montana and Idaho and Utah and Wyoming would be more likely to end up together, rather than divided between rival countries.

But the point is: a lot of things we take for granted will be lost if the country breaks up. The consequences can't all be predicted beforehand.

What about the military? OK, each state now has its National Guard. Can’t the president call them to national service and put down any rebellion by a state government? Then too, what about the national military already stationed in the states. Couldn’t the federal government use them to prevent states from splitting off (Civil War?).

Some are of the opinion that when the disintegration of America is complete, we will be absorbed by the European Union.

We have too many debtors around the world, the largest of whom being China, who can call in the notes at any time and when they do, we're righteously screwed. We will have to join up with someone in order to survive.

“California will just join Mexico”

As might some parts of New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas given that scenario

If the US split, I would think the most Western and Eastern states would be seperate, but I would think that most of Middle America would stick together...as most of these are conservatives and for the most part on the same wave link...

No way any self-respecting Michigan resident EVER be under the influence of Canada. We've learned from our Granholm mistake (I think). And Texas as part of a Mexico influence/Mexico? Only if millions of Mexicans storm the border. I could never see Texas going down without a fight.

And no way South Carolina, Tenn. or Kentucky joins any European union.
