It's hard to laugh when things are getting :cool-zone: enough where I can't say for sure his predictions are sure to be wrong. :doomer

    Texas and Mexico will form an allied state? :what-the-hell:

    Sounds like he's either trolling or has no idea what he's talking about.

    Also, and we've had this discussion before, but the western US would likely need to break off as one whole package due to the water situation. There's also the fact that California grows a massive chunk of the non-corn food for the rest of the US, so I just see California breaking off as extremely unlikely, especially with Texas out of the picture.

      Reminds me of BF2142 where they put Russia, China, and Japan in an alliance together because they're next to each other, and there's no sort of history of animosity between them

        Russia and Japan never signed a peace treaty after the 1905 Russo-Japanese war and are technically still in armistice. There's contested Islands between the two even today

          yes but I looked at a map and they are right next to each other, therefore logically they would work together when resource wars start

          They've shown a lot of restraint, yes, but now is the time to fuck over those other guys and steal their resources before they do it to us, so that we can have the most treats in the climate apocalypse

      He’s trolling, he said in the thread about his contribution to making the most wildest and absurd prediction. Not sure why so many skip that part. The irony of westerner they take his prediction seriously while making dumb map about China and Russia

      Yeah, Texas would never ally with Mexico.

      I can actually see the western states warring among themselves over control of water. California could only declare independence if it could dominate the Colorado River watershed and just take their water.
