    Not unlikely Joe Biden's plan to divide Iraq into mini-states for Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds.https://twitter.com/kalymera1960/status/1329824366096490497 …

    It is my belief that the USA needs to split into three federations: Atlantica, Heartland and Pacifica.

        That may be a sensible approach. Forcing ethnic and/or religious groups to co-exist inside a single nation-state may work for a while, but it is always unstable (Exhibit A: Yugoslavia)

        But the groups are highly evenly mixed throughout the country!

        This would be great if there were no such things as cities.

        The problem with this thesis is that the divide is urban/rural, geography is less the factor. Atlanta metro, Houston metro, Detroit metro have more similarities with coastal metro areas than the rural areas of their states.

        Biden’s plan would have been better than what happened, don’t you think?

        A far more devolved federation like Canada’s, with an option for aid for those who wish to relocate to states that will actually protect them for say the first 18 years, is something I sadly have been kicking around, in order to save the union.
