    If the US collapses before I die. I can die happy.

    This is an evil country. It makes war on the world. It threatens the world via control of the reserve currency. To say nothing of the abuses it visits on its own citizens.

    Total collapse. Balkanization. Don’t care how. No expectation of surviving the fall. But as long as it falls I can die happy knowing that life on this planet has a brighter future than it did with the US at the till.

      They should just disunite and become 51 independent states. Then they don’t have to project their internal differences onto other countries any more.

        I agree, Balkanization would be for the best at this point; there’s no longer any legal solution

        Every state has its own government and the feds have become more trouble than they are worth.

          I should add that even if the states get a right to secede, but don’t use it, that improves people’s lives.

          Because the states can constantly pressure the federal government to be nice to the states or the states will secede. This way, the federal government is forced to treat states somewhat better, if it wants to retain power.
