      I would very much like for USA to be much more stable than it’s currently so that it could help us with Russia. And this is of course why Russia is trying (and looks like succeeding) to make USA into a internally bickering cesspool.

      I’m Canadian and don’t really wish it because it would be a very messy thing, but in a way, I’m thinking, if the US is stuck in a civil war, at least the chances of it invading my country should be much lower.

      Like, it would be shitty, but at least countries that are now threatened to be annexed or invaded by the US could maybe breathe a little easier, and see Americans killing Americans for once, instead of people in other countries.

        Typically when a country undergoes a violent internal conflict that depletes the coffers, the neighboring country’s resources start looking really nice.

        In general, I’d advise you to now get everything you need, whether a civil war is coming or just tyranny.

        You will need:

        • a passport or actual ID, your driver’s license is basically useless here
        • a list of all prescribed medication

        You might find useful:

        • all your certificates of education, be it from school, college, university or vocational training, Germany in particular is a stickler for formal education in every sector of work
        • a bank account with a european bank which you have already set up and can wire money to before that is blocked for some reason
        • start learning any European language, French and German are particularly useful
        • some geographical knowledge of Europe might prove useful
        • find out where the next EU-member state’s consulate is. Do note however that the country you first apply for asylum in, is the one that has to take you - technically that is.

        You can help by expanding this list

        The EU is totally going to align with Trump, officially citing his election but, in reality, based on him controlling the nukes and (probably) most generals.
