he United States of America is a rogue nation, run by a violent criminal who operates outside the rule of law. The bombing of Venezuela and kidnapping of its president, Nicolás Maduro, so that he can stand for a show trial in New York, is a flagrant violation of international law. It is proof positive that the United States, under Trump, is the biggest “bad guy” on the international stage and should be treated accordingly. It’s a new low point in the era of lows we call the Trump administration. And it’s a return to the imperialist posturing and interventionism that have defined this country’s garbage treatment of Latin America for two centuries.
The United States should be condemned by the international community and all peoples of this earth. Decent countries should sanction us economically, and our leaders should be charged as war criminals and have their assets frozen. These sanctions should not just be directed at the top level of our government but also against our feckless Congress and the complicit politicians in both parties who support our illegal actions. The US should be treated like the global pariah it is, and that includes bringing all of the soft-power and shame the world can bring to bear on us: Our embassies should be closed and our diplomats expelled, our games and tournaments boycotted, including the upcoming World Cup and Summer Olympics. And everybody else should be issuing travel advisories to the US in an attempt to crash our tourism industry. Everything the international community did to Russia after it invaded Ukraine should be done to us now that we’ve invaded Venezuela and are trying to install a sham government there.
By now it's deserves a whole lot more than that.
It has attacked and destroyed countless other countries since WWII with impunity
It has brought us multiple times to the point of WWIII
It had caused millions of deaths, directly and indirectly, in the name of oil or some other commodities that somebody wanted
This last year is just more of the same being more visible and unhinged
The US by now is a failed state with one political side speed running for civil war
It deserves to be broken up into 50 independent countries. Some of those, like California, will prosper
Others, like Kansas, will become third world nations that won't be able to feed te own population due to the own government's ineptitude
Give people in those regions sovereignty to choose their borders. For example, the republic of new england (which would probably join with NY and NJ, or maybe those two would join with PA to form their own). Also Cascadia, west of the Cascades is quite progressive and while the eastern parts of OR and WA would gladly choose Idaho over remaining with them, I could see the eastern regions joining with California.
With no more federal congress, gerrymandering is off the docket. Wisconsin stops being fucked over and actually gets the progressive government the people want. With that, I can see Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan all joining together to form some Midwest progressive nation. Indiana, Ohio would probably join the South. Iowa is up for a toss with how they would choose.
Again, there would be multiple wars fought here. People wouldn't just choose and live happily ever after without reunification attempts or expansion desires from conservative regions, especially the Great Lakes.
