Americans wanted their states to break free from the U.S.

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.

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."

"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.

You guys are such a fucking failure as a country that you should not be allowed to BE a country anymore. Especially now that you are an immediate, direct threat to all life on the planet. For over a century "Russia" has been an abject failure on all fronts and stubbornly refuse to evolve beyond babrabism, fuck it, the rest of the world, specifically immediately adjacent countries and allies should just take over and redistribute land and start working on building sustainable infrastructure and dismantle the shit that is blighting the landscape now.

Russia is and has always been a failed nation, it has only existed as a highly militarized fiefdom for the last century.
