You were saying — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were Soviet states for “all eternity.”

And that was true for as long as there was a “Soviet Union”... But, as we all know the Soviet Union ceased to exist, as a result of *internally dissolving*... Once that happened, then various different states went their own way.

In this case, you still have a “United States” and a war was fought in which certain states *thought* they had a right to secede — but — found out that they did not have that right, and were forced back into the union and had to swear allegiance to that union and gave up the right to secede.

That’s the situation now.

BUT..., if the United States “internally dissolves” like the Soviet Union did, then all bets are off. As long as the United States exists, however, states will not be allowed to secede.

Bingo! Another shooting war is insane. But, if states just get fed up and walk away. Stop participating in Federal mandates and programs and follow the Leftist path of civil disobedience, passive resistance and Rosa Parks-like focus on defeating a corrupt power structure. We can achieve this goal. It worked for Dr. Martin Luther King. It worked for Gandhi, Tutu and other civil rights leaders. It worked in Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia and Berlin and lots of other places. Just quit the system and walk away. Demand respect for your rights.

The government will have two choices. Soweto, where they shoot some citizens and then world pressure causes them to cave. Or, peaceful dissolution where we just go our separate ways. The world would LOVE to see the USA dissolve into smaller more manipulative states. Russia has already predicted our dissolution.

For those who still believe in the American Dream, though, you may want to start voting GOP. And, GOP... you may want to find some candidates with IQs above 16...
