California and New York will explode in about two years.


And hopefully that leads to some sanity and some rejection of nonsense policies.

But if the US balkanizes, the dollar stops being the reserve currency of the world...and the whole world explodes. It would be unbelievably globally destabilizing.

And since we'd be dividing our military in half, neither half would have the most powerful military in the world anymore to stabilize it.

Balkanizing sounds great—I, for one, would love to never have to deal with a leftist again—but there's simply no way to do it and actually survive the process.

We take our economic and military international position for granted, but it's something we simply wouldn't survive kicking out from under ourselves.

Balkanizing the US into smaller nation states is a much cleaner scenario than war.


We’d have to shuffle some ppl around first. That’s the bloodshed part.

You might also want to recall that Atlas Shrugged was a work of fiction


So was "We the Living", but it damn sure was an allegory to what was happening in reality.

You might want to read it.
