History would suggest otherwise. Every great empire has Balkanized upon its fall from Egypt to Greece to Rome to Brittain.

And if you don’t think that women screaming about their uterus at the SCOTUS, Senile Joe, men competing in women’s sports, 13% of the population committing 60% of violent crimes and complaining police are picking on them, and $5 / gallon gas aren’t the death rattle you are simply without brains or logic.

There is absolutely nothing that would suggest that to be the case. The vast majority of people, regardless of political persuasion, are not in the financial position to just up and move, and definitely not up and move to states with higher costs of living.

Just one of the thousands of issues that the TNM people gloss over.

And every single one of those resulted in a collection of smaller, less powerful, less influential, less prosperous entities that got dominated out of existence or relegated to secondary status.

India and the US currently are more wealthy and influential than Britain ever was.

Germany more influential than Rome, Holy Roman Empire, etc.

China more influential and wealthier than Mongolian empire.

You favor keeping the Yankee Empire's hegemony afloat no matter what the costs?

India was its own collection of entities long before the Raj existed. India becoming independent of the UK is not "Balkanization". Neither was the US becoming independent. Those are examples of de-colonization, not the fragmentation of a previously intact polity.

What? Totally wrong there in just about every way. But even then, its been 1500 years since the collapse of Rome. Are we going to allow that type of recovery time on your 'balkanized' US States? Are you going to argue that Prussia/Germany and Austria-Hungary were not weaker separately than they would have been in a single state?

"China" preceded the Mongols.

lmfao you think the US is about to collapse? People have it way too good here to do anything besides post anonymously on the internet.

Wouldn't put it past the frickers in DC to pipeline Mississippi water out west so they can keep giving water to chy-na and the camel jockeys.

I'm not sure Arkansas would ever leave the union. Not sure if they did are allowed to retain the government they have now.

Would love to bring some states along with strict adherence to a very conservative constitution as the basis for joining.
