European Council President Antonio Costa says EU accession is key for Ukraine's future, while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says it could happen earlier than 2030. #EuropeNews
That’s exactly what Russia has wanted since the cold war “ended”. That said, I honestly don’t know how we heal from this. A third of the country is bat shit crazy, and the sane among us are never going to join in their fascism. I think Balkanization is, for better or worse, in our future.
I genuinely hope Canada has some operational plan in a drawer somewhere of conducting a commando raid into North Dakota and Montana to neutralize our ICBM command centers.
Unfortunately the division this time is more rural/urban which would make the logistics of that nearly impossible. If you offered a time for people to move it’d also be vastly lopsided, not to mention things like house prices would crater in some places while skyrocketing in others.
I didn’t necessarily mean best for Americans, any way you put it they’re cooked.
But ya, logistically it’s extremely unlikely, that being said California is already talking about secession. So if it did happen it’d likely be certain states (California, Texas, etc.) And not all of them along state lines.
People don’t usually think about the long term effects of decisions like this when making them, too.
I was thinking one of the best things that could come out of this is if the US split into multiple countries

Assuming we don’t all blow ourselves up first.
No shit. Americans empowered ultranationalist to balkanize the USSR. Have a taste of your own medecine.
I would feel better about this if America didn’t have so many nukes…

Won’t help with all the SLBM’s (submarine launched) and B-52 launched nuclear weapons that we have…
Every warhead either secured or destroyed in a collapsing country would be a victory, I think.
Yaaa…

Oh no, house prices, one of the thing that totally works under today’s oligarchy I mean free market
