A new bid to place a measure on the ballot that would ask California voters to approve the state's secession from the U.S. has been cleared for signature gathering.
I’ve though about this since the Civil War movie came out. While I’d love for the blue states to leave together, wouldn’t that just put all the weapons of mass destruction in the hands of a new all red US country? That seems like a dangerous idea.
Another issue would be a case where the new red country goes to shit, and they decide they want to force the blue states back in and steal the land. We’d be locked in an infinite war worse than what Ukraine is facing.
Yeah considering we park a big part of our navy in San Diego these days, and a big part of our SSBN/SSGN fleet up in Washington State, I don’t see the Feds letting those parts go easily.
Think of it like Ukraine and how the Russian Navy used Sevastopol as a primary base long before the USSR broke up, and consider how all that’s going these days. It’d be the same thing here.

To truly work we would need to negotiate a split of the nukes, military, and other federal assets. The is no way this would happen peacefully.
