    California and West Coast separatism is most strongly advocated by Russian agents seeking to weaken the US.

      I think everyone is in favour of weakening the US

        Weakening NATO is their goal.

      Im not Russian at all and I want to separate because all I get from the federal union is taxation without representation. I’m tired of subsidizing failed religious extremists. It’s abundantly clear that there is no rule of law at the federal level, and I would sooner die than bend the knee to a king.

        As a Russian, honestly these are all sorts of shit with no practical difference for us.

        Except for Alaska, some people think it shouldn’t have been sold. And 0.7 mln total population is (far) less than Crimea.

        That aside, a confederacy (I guess some other word would be better) of the old US and some more autonomous things, like, for example, California, would possibly be a stabilizer.

        There’s been a number of news coverages of this. It’s not like it’s the biggest operation or anything but they have been trying to plant that seed intentionally.

        Sincere question as a foreigner, is there any basis to this “Jill Stein is a Russian asset” thing other than the fucked up nature of FPTP voting resulting in the US two-party system?

      Damn. That just made me realize that the most effective military strategy against the US is to pit us against ourselves.

        Asymmetric warfare basic.

        It’s not really news, the Civil War has been one of the fiercest conflict in history.

        No, you don’t get it, the US has so excelled in pitting others against each other to emerge as one victor, than it’s bringing the thing home. So you are going to weaken yourselves by making a quarreling mess of the old system, then it imploding and some nominally democratic and free new system taking over. Probably simultaneously trying to nuke half of the rest of the world.
