And a major question would be how to deal with the USA's gigantic nuclear arsenal.

That's actually an excellent question.

Poor comparison. The USSR was made up of republics which have more autonomy than states do including the unambiguous right to secede.

Those who advocate for it seem to suggest that in the case of a split, different regions would be able to accommodate specific views. The Northeast and Pacific Coast would be the liberal strongholds, with the Deep South being the most conservative...

Obviously, the premise is pretty ridiculous since the same problems still would exist. People with a certain viewpoint would be underrepresented in their respective region.

That's a bit of nonsense. Citizens of the USA can emigrate to almost every country in the world. Possibly not to North Korea and maybe not to Myanmar, but everywhere else is available.


The British Commonwealth countries expect immigrants to be able to prove that they won't go onto the government dole, but other than those countries, requirements to enter into any country in South America, Central America, and most of Africa are extremely easy to meet.


I don't know what immigration requirements are in the Middle East, but a lot of Americans live there, so it can't be too difficult. All of the eastern block countries allow immigration easily. Plenty of Americans living in Russia and China.


There are absolutely no restrictions about leaving the USA. Want to leave? Just go. No problem. No one will try stop you.



It's bull that there is nowhere to move to. Anyone who can't stand it in the USA, all they have to do is pack their suitcase and go.


Cant afford it? Many of the countries that will happily accept US citizens have a very low cost of living. It's a heck of a lot cheaper to live there than it is to live here.

No man it's like greeting an old friend. He posted in the Asian forum, information on posting is public and available to anyone - yours, mine. The only difference is if it's who I think is was, he changed user IDs. It is cool, very cool - I get where he is coming from now, it puts it into context. Now no problem.
Ah so no harm was meant. Certainly I should think a bit more before posting accusations Now quickly climbing down from my high horse -

Look how many people are suckered in by a rumor that the OP is a Russian troll, and uncritically believe that.
