BF2S Forums What would happen if the U.S. broke up like the U.S.S.R. did?

George Bush would not have a moon

so I guess all those languages they speak now just sprouted up from the last 20 years?  I mean since they were originally russian and all.

Did I say they were the same nation ? No I didn't .  Why do you think county had a status of empire ?

p/s Official language was russian of cource ...

but they were once their own independent countries, which were conquered by the russian empire.

My state would probably join up with Canada.

What state are you.  I think we'd like Alaska maybe Wisconsin and Hawaii.

I haven't denied that . Just said that 'The USSR didn't split up into lots of different countries. It split up into Russia and all of the countries that existed before the USSR came into existence.' is wrong because those countries were counquered centuries before USSR was born and were part of Russia ( or Russian Empire , if you want ).

Vermont and Cali can leave the US and come hang with Canada..  We've got plenty of room for the Mexicans and whatever lies in Vermont...

Quebec can't survive without the rest of Canada, they want to create their own Nation, but they still want there hands in Canadas Pockets, Fuck 'em..

The only Province that could ever leave Canada and support itself is Alberta.

Yup. Oil and natural gas ftw. We don't need the rest of Canada's energy and money to survive. And BC has alot of tourism to support it as well.

There is chatter that is warning that the United States may break up into separate countries.  There are even some states like Vermont that want to succeed from the Union (16% want to leave).

If the United States did break up into several different countries, what's the fallout?

hahahahaha. SERIOUS CHATTER????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HMMM. i wonder what would happen.... oh wait it did.
1861 to 1865. it was called the CIVIL WAR... and guess what? AMERICA WON.
All those bitch ass states got their asses handed to them and are back in the Union.

But, if any state had the right to break away it would be Hawaii.
Still to this day, America's illegal and hostile take over of a non threatening Hawaii is one of the most shameful and least talked about pages of American history.
History is written by the winners, so no one talks about that.
Next thread...

Nope.  If Alberta left it would have to keep all its retirees instead of sending them to BC.  That much extra pension would destroy Alberta's budget surplus.

I'd say the Civil War itself was pretty shameful, and so would a lot of my part of the country.

i agree whole heartedly, but look up how America took over Hawaii.
That is why the Hawaiian people hate Mainland Americans.
Because we did then, what we are trying to do now. See a problem, move in to help, never leave and then claim it as ours.

If something massively drastic happened; this is what I see the map more or less coming to. The USA looses major coast lines, several major cities, and countless natural resources. It is now on the level of maybe France when it comes to economy. New York becomes a society resembling Norway. Vermont becomes as important as Liechtenstein. New England lives off of it's fishing industry and becomes about as important as maybe Albania. Michigan maintains it self as a wealthy nation with both a strong agricultural and shipping industry, with New York benefiting from it through the Erie Canal. Dakota retains wealth through agriculture and is protected by Canada and is returned to the Sioux to live freely, of course alongside the former Americans in the area, perhaps it will become a commonwealth of Canada. Vancouver becomes a commonwealth of the USA until it can support itself or decides to rejoin the Union as the states they once were. Texas remains a strong ally of the USA and thrives off of its ranches, Gulf oil, and the Houston NASA site. Florida forms a new federal government but retains symbiotic relations with the USA (I forgot to put in its capital, it remains Tallahassee). Louisiana is now a French commonwealth and benefits quite well from it. Alaska joins Canada.The NASA launch sites in Texas and Florida become US territories. All in all Canada gains massive wealth from these changes.

What do you all think?
