yeah that's pretty much the response, in any realistic attempt by russia they get spanked hard.

They just don't have the logistical capability to make it work.

And in any case, this wouldn't be like the Netherlands wanting to have New Amsterdam back, or the Mexicans demanding the return of Texas.
The Russian govt of the day sold Alaska to the USA. It was an agreed deal between the two parties.

There will always be political loonies demanding the impossible, to get a little bit of media exposure. With Zhirinovsky dead, the position of the great jester of the Russian political scene is open to all takers and competition is fierce.

If the USA falls, there's nothing to hold China back. So Russia will be looking at the loss of the Eastern territories...and likely won't be able to do a thing about it.

China just disappeared their rocket force general (who was appointed 5 years ago specifically to replace corrupt predecessor) because he was filling their rockets with water instead of rocket fuel (and pocketing the difference).
And at least 1/3rd of the launchers are defective.

Ever since russia got stymied in ukraine china has been scrambling to root out the corruption in their own military. And it has been a huge struggle because all those generals at the top do not want to be the next one to be disappeared.

The USA isn't the USSR. It could break out into a civil war but even that would look more like the troubles than anything, it isn't going to collapse like the soviets did.

Why not? what magic sauce does it have?
We are seeing enormous amounts of corruption.

Yea, the conservative states and cities are better than fully communist countries at the moment...
but that is because of a constant battle. We are not doing well. Even if there are people who are worse off

More the special sauce it doesn't have. The USSR split into nations that already existed. The US isn't a union of nations any more, so there's no natural bonds that give easy dividing lines. Any civil war will largely have Ds v Rs in some sense, and they are spread semi-evenly through the states. Even blue and red states have large concentrations of people who go the other way (just look at the congress people they send.

Also, we'd be lucky if we collapsed like the Soviets. The collapse itself was remarkably bloodless. The US wouldn't be.

My guess, it'd either look like the troubles, or when India/Pakistan split.

The US collapsing would probably look more like the Balkans than India and Pakistan.

I knew that.You knew that.But Moscov elites are blind like that.
I read polish book about their plans/forget title and author,as usual/ and,according to that,that are well aware of facts that China want Siberia nad more,and Turkey want Caucasus and tatarstan - but,they still plan how to conqer Ukraine,then baltic states,then Poland,then rest of Europe.

As if they though,that they could invade,but never be invaded.For unknown reason they see China and Turkey ambitions - but still do not consider them as potential enemy.

But,there is hope for kgb yet - in anothr book/forget title,again/ i read,that they work on virus who would kill only chineese and turks/well,two viruses/
If they have it,they do not need to fear them.

P.S Dunno,if such virus could be made or not.
@Poe , do not underestimate grandpa Nurgle,i mean Biden.If there is somebody capable of destroing USA,it would be him.

No, again, there's no nationalism, no great amount of ethnic tensions, no real enclaves that aren't actually heavily infiltrated. Instead, it's going to be a lot of people moving from one place to another, hence the India/Pakistan.

Texas would like a word with you about 'no nationalism', Cali already has it's own foreign policy, New York City thinks it's owns the eastern seaboard anyway (Boston and Philly dispute this), Florida can into space, Chicago rules the Great Lakes, and Colorado could hold the water supplies of much of the central US hostage if it wanted to.

Texas I'll give you. But everywhere else, there is no nationalism. No one thinks of themselves as a New Yorker and will fight and die for New York.

Yes, certain states can do certain things. I've no doubt a split would be along state lines more or less. But I think after a split, there will be a massive migration a la Pakistan/India where people move to where they align.

Then what do you call people who think of themselves as American but despise what the nation and our government has become?

And you would be wrong, because in all likelihood if it's got to the point this is occurring, shots will be being exchanged between states and the 'migration' will be halted by bullets.

Why let your enemies have more soldiers to their name in the fight, when you can remove potential manpower of theirs here and now.
