Because I live in the real world. Without the UNITED States as a global power, who fills the vacuum and protects our national strategic security interests? In your wet dream of 50 nation states replacing the US, will the nuclear triad be scrapped? Will the US Navy, Marine Corps, USAF, and US Army be dissolved along with the Coast Guard?
Why do we need to have a global presence?
Because we are a great power with global interests including protecting the freedom of the seas, commercial interests, and protecting our citizens abroad. We also have treaties with other nations that involve responsibilities and obligations.
Why should the individual states that make up the United States be any different from the individual states that make up South America?
Duh! What is the alternative? 50 separate countries with their own passports, armed forces, foreign policies, etc.? You are advocating for the dissolution of the richest and most powerful country in the world, the last substantive defender of individual freedom and liberty in the world. Would you rather see the CCP as the dominant world power?
You are madder than a March hare.
You can choose to live in your own Wet Dream if you wish.
If the liberals have their way, then all of the things you support will be trashed anyway.
Would you rather live in a country that has a government like Peru or Costa Rica, or would you rather live in a country with a government like China or Russia?
When Texas first dissolved its relationship with Mexico and subsequently joined the United States, Texas had more in common with the United States. Now, I think Texas has more in common with Mexico than we do with people from California or New York.
How can you subscribe to ‘unity’ when two different cultures are clashing?
