“Here are some nations that WILL recognize Catalonia:
1) North Korea
2) Iran
3) Yemen
4) Syria
5) Somalia
6) Cuba
Nothing like having an export base for terror right on the European continent.”
This is what might happen if California broke with the US. Their instant economic crisis would give enemies of the US an intro into the US with a long border to infiltrate. Think we’ve got problems with the Mexican border? At least the Mexicans manage what comes in from their ports. (Sure, drugs. But drugs aren’t dirty bombs, barrels of poison sufficient to destroy water supplies and frozen bacteriological weapons.)
Actually, if California secedes it’s possible that Mexico might stake a claim to it since the treaty ceding California to the US was made with the US, not California.
