A Modest Proposal For "Rules" of Divorce/Balkanization

They get to keep a per-capita share of military and public works apportioned based on the most current census.

Along with that goes the caveat that they finance and support it themselves. If need be, they sell their hardware and defense share to the CISA*. The liberals, hippies and bootlickers will probably be ecstatic to "reduce" their military spending.

We (the CISA*) reduce and remove intervention and military exposition into all foreign entanglements and treaties, just as Washington warned against. We from hereon out defend OUR interests and OUR cargoes. Our ground-based military will be dispersed from a full-time (standing) force to a limited officer corps and reserve-service structure with the exception of the Navy and supplemental Air Force/Air Space defense measures.

The Coast Guard will board and/or sink anything that illegally enters our international waters. They will aid and assist those who request it, duty bound as mariners.

The Navy will defend our shipping interests. They will not defend anyone else. You want protection? Build your own damn Navy. Or pay us a fee for our services.
