Same as USSR. They stay where they were.
You know who likes the idea of 4 little Americas?? META, GOOG, AAPL, AMZN. That’s who will be buying the debt and dissolving the union.
Then we should try dissolving the corporation first instead... in 55gal polyethylene drums.
That’s…. Not how the USSR worked at all. There’s a whole war in Ukraine right now that’s based on Ukraine giving nukes away due to security promises America failed to fulfill.
Do you know where the nukes are now? Do you think that the Confederate states of America might try to you know….. do the thing again??
So where did those nukes end up when USSR dissolved? Right where they were until some years later when a deal was made to move them. I don't think you got me as hard as you think you did.
???? So where do our nukes go after we decided it’s really unsafe for 4 unstable newly minted countries to? I’m sure all the little quadrants of new America would love to concede their power.
It's odd that you think that I am responsible for solving all these issues before anyone has even broached it as a possible approach.
You might be surprised to find out that a lot of people have suggested balkanizing the United States and there’s even a lot of thought projects around the idea. You should be in a habit of gaming out your own thoughts. Because I think your idea is retarded. Having already thought through it a few times.
You came onto a public form and advocated a policy. I think it’s important to show on the public form that people that advocate, irrational policies have surprisingly no rationality behind the thought.
Two replies indicate that you have some emotion behind this subject and much of your response comes from there. It is possible to have "what if" conversations without them turning into "now plug in all the holes for me right now" followed by "and you're obviously an idiot for speaking in public without knowing the answers to everything".
