Here’s an interesting thing about the United States. We are 100% for a people’s right of self-determination. We preach it constantly. We lecture foreign leaders about it.

But who knows. Most likely if the states can militarily secede from the Union, and keep it ..... I often wonder what would happen if all the States seceded from Washington D.C.
