Balkanization, is a geopolitical term for the process of fragmentation or division of a region or state into smaller regions or states that are often hostile or uncooperative with one another.
This is a subject that has come up over and over by many, including my self.
I believe many states will claim independence in the years to come, and that the Balkanization of America is inevitable.
I've often said, that just like a couple should get divorced before things get ugly, so should the United States, before we get into a Hot Civil War. Such a Civil War would be so destructive and devastating. No battle lines would be set, only a neighbor against neighbor brawl until the fields are cleared and the enemies are exhausted at the feel of the desolation.
A deliberate act of separation would be the best outcome for our Nation, but I fear a drawn out conflict is what is in store for us.
A then, after the dust settles, and tens of thousands of millions or possibly in the hundreds of millions of deaths, would peace return and new borders settled.
