California could secede from the US, sparking a second Civil
War within the next 10 years, a political expert has revealed.
Professor Benjamin Cohen from the University of California-Santa
Barbara warned that the possibility of political polarization
reaching a violent breaking point throughout the US was
'substantially greater than zero.'
In one scenario, the political economist and author of 20
books envisioned California declaring its independence from
the US in 2035, amid growing friction with the federal
government - prompting the next president to take drastic
action.
'President [JD] Vance has threatened a military takeover
of state government in Sacramento, backed by National Guard
troops from nearby red states. Armed conflict looks
increasingly possible,' Cohen wrote in a fictitious news
bulletin about his hypothetical scenario.
. . .
Let's hope it remains very hypothetical. 1st-world
countries can't really HAVE civil wars - everything
is WAY too 'connected'. Kick out a few supports and
the whole thing collapses almost instantly.
Guess Vlad gets the east, China the west ... but
Iran has to get at least ONE state, right ?
