    This would effectively be a secession from the United States, which would be extremely consequential and very violent.

    It’s a proposal that shouldn’t be made flippantly.

      I would rather the US become a war torn wasteland than let Trump invade Europe.

        • Europe needs to stop willingly subjugating itself to the US for its own good.
        • I guess if you don’t have anything at stake it isn’t up to you to navigate the consequences of a civil war. The US needs to decline for the good of the world, but unfortunately for it, it’s unable to produce competent leadership, so the process is more rough than it needs to be

        Yeah I know, a civil war would be another escalation. I’m saying that the commentary should respect that fact, and respect the fact that if it pops off in 2026, the bad guys win 10/10 times because no preparation has been done whatsoever.

        Lol is that where the down votes are coming from?

        I wasnt even taking a particular stance on the topic, just suggesting that we carefully consider “starting a civil war” as a potential option. I actually like the energy lol
