Cuz you know colors, borders, board games and s#@$
Mr. Panarin should probably study this map instead.
The Atlantic? BARF
Worthless lying rag.
BUT, those willing to join with Texas is a lot larger than what is drawn.
And the KGB analyst thinks we’re just going to let them do this? Delusions, delusions….
This KGB map has about a zero chance of ever happening.
That KGB dude understands nothing about the USA. The idea that Utah and Idaho would join with Washington, Oregon and California is ludicrous. More importantly, If Washington, Oregon and California tried to secede, at least 50% of each state would secede from their respective states. If some A-hole like Newsom, for example, tried to engineer a California secession, The Central Valley, Sierra Nevadas and extreme north California would revolt 5 seconds later.
Yea the KGB dude just needed something colorful to show his bosses. A serious analysis certainly wouldn’t have a huge chunk of these US falling under Canadian influence...?! Texas republic would likely go one or two States higher, but likely wouldn’t be very Mexican-influenced. The SW is where Mexico and China would butt heads. And “may join the EU”? Seriously?
Looks like Igor got a box of crayons for his birthday.
