Russia to Consider U.S. States That Wish to Secede and Join Country

A senior member of the state Duma, Russia’s parliament, said that any U.S. states that wish to secede and instead join Russia will be considered.

Yes, really.

The comments come one week after Russia declared four regions of Ukraine had become Russian territory.

Now, Russia would consider annexing U.S. states that rather be a member of the Russian Federation.

“State Duma deputy Alexander Tolmachev was responding to an online poll that showed that some Americans wanted their states to break free from the U.S.,” Newsweek reported.

I wonder if the same offer should be given to any Russian regions who would prefer to be part of the US?https://t.co/UE2Lh2U6gN

From Newsweek:

If Americans vote to secede some states from the country and express a desire to join Russia, Moscow will consider it, Tolmachev told Russian news site Podmoskovye Segodnya.

The lawmaker said that the U.S. was beginning “to decay,” and that its ally, the European Union, which has also provided strong military assistance to Ukraine, was “bursting at its seams.”

Tolmachev said this was a result of a failed American foreign policy. “Such initiatives are a signal that the citizens of the United States are dissatisfied with their leadership and are ready to take extreme measures, up to secession, if the current policy of America continues,” he said.

Mosregtoday.ru also reported the news, noting that on social media, some 80 percent of New Hampshire residents said they wanted to break away from the United States.

A comment underneath the social media poll said: “Most of Oregon wants to leave Oregon. I support the big Idaho movement. And so should the people living in Texas, Florida, Idaho and everywhere in between. I support any state that wants to achieve statehood.”

However, there was also some opposition to seceding from the U.S. on social media.

“It is important that voting takes place not on social networks, but officially and legitimately, as in the Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk and Luhansk republics, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson provinces,” Tolmachev said, referring to online polls.

Cynthia Nicoletti, professor of law at the University Virginia School of Law, said state secession is unconstitutional.

There have been talks of some U.S. states seceding from the Union.

One such secession movement is ‘TEXIT.’

The movement has gained momentum in recent years, and the Texas GOP Party pushed for a referendum to decide whether the state should secede from the U.S.

As mentioned by Newsweek, some Oregon counties wish to secede and join Idaho.
