Worse, the US was actually like this once before. The Articles of Confederation de facto gave individual states the ability to set their own foreign policy agendas independent of one another. It was a complete disaster, and one can hope that the second time around will be no different. The breakdown of federal authority would be ugly and dangerous for many of us in this country, but it's ultimately what we as leftists within the imperial core should be hoping for.
which two states bomb each other first?
I think it’s more likely that a domestic terrorist commits a crime in California or somewhere and is given “amnesty” in Florida or Texas with either state cops or a government-sanctioned militia guarding them resulting in the feds backing down because they’re unwilling to initiate a confrontation.
This, but conflict among states in the southwest over resources, particularly water, are not beyond the realm of possibility I think. California is sure to dominate regional politics in a Balkanization scenario either way, in my opinion, but water scarcity will append a question mark to any political calculus one could devise.
