But very clear you're out of arguments when you resort to the TOS. Been on this site nine years with lots of reps, many for my Calexit is Russian posts, but you're so out of arguments about this topic, you're grasping with some nonsensical attempt to point to the CD rule book. Sad.
Again you avoid answering the salient questions. If Putin likes chocolate cake does that make chocolate cake a bad food?

Noone said anything about liking Putin - speaking of grasping at nonsense.

You might also note that in addition to correctly observing that you are violating TOS by running multiple threads on the same subject simultaneously, all your points have also been addressed and dismantled.

By the way, how long a person has posted and how many rep points received is also no measure of correctness or intelligence on the topics.

"Out of arguments?" Hardly. As you noted yourself previously, you are being answered on every point. Especially your prime, nearly singular terror that because Putin likes or supports something that alone makes it bad. Which illogical nonsense has been pointed out and you fail to answer. Chocolate. Mmmmmm.

you say silly, but don't explain why. And yes, clearly there are people in the mix of all states who love Trump. What does that have to do with anything being discussed here?

No liberal democracy has ever had common ideologies throughout. But the Russians putting out this propaganda don't know much about living in free societies.
As pointed out previously all regions have differences AND common ground. Whether Newfoundland should break from the rest of Canada depends on an overall assessment of relative positions.

Oil and gas tycoons are not citizen states. They are business interests within states. Sothey don't get to seceed.

Russians putting out propaganda and knowing little about living in free societies has absolutely no bearing whatsoever of any even minute sort on whether there is any intelligent reason for California to consider becoming independent.

So they don't get to secede, or choose which country they want to be a part of, yet you support a group of people living in Russia telling us which country they want us to be a part of.

Show me any expression of support you refer to.

Then try showing how your comment about a group of people living in Russia relates to our determination of independence. You keep expressing outrage and fear without explaining how their opinions end up controlling California's or America's future. Putin expresses an anti-terror agenda. So does the US. Should we drop ours because Russia shares that goal? Is chocolate cake bad because Putin likes it or not?

Whatever merits for/against secession by any state, Russia isn't the only ones behind them, but they are financing and promoting them where they exist. Putin's still upset about the USSR breaking up, and he wants to see America do the same.
Ok, this is a great reply but it doesn't answer my question. I'll get back to that as what you said was still good enough for a reply.

I've said before that I do not support any independence that Russia is involved in. For the three that voted yes, think about it; if our choices are to be affiliated with the United States or Russia, you really think Russia is a better option??? No secession under such circumstances which is why I lean with the CNP and not YC.

Now, my question was, do you believe the US is going to last in it's present form forever? Is it immune to the forces that have affected the rest of the world indeed, that gave birth to it?

You continue to avoid answering this question. And continue to avoid making any coherent case for how Russian support would translate to Russian control and advantage.
