I could see the US someday breaking up. I doubt it'll be in my lifetime. Who says the parts will swear allegiance to other countries instead of wanting to stand on their own? And since each new country has nukes within their borders, I don't see a forced annexation from outside. The Texas Republic goes to Mexico? More likely, with no more interference from Washington D.C., the Texas Republic starts a southern expansion...
