Russia should be our 51st state...

What would Putin do if...

Say the United States did to Russia what Russia has done and is doing in Ukraine?

Say over the next few years that we infiltrated businesses, government offices, the military, and the mdia in Russia and gradually exerted pressures on them such that the general population lost faith in their institutions and economy.

What if the pressures were such that people demanded a change, and what if we put out the idea that the best solution would be for Russia to have a national referendum to voluntarily become the 51st state in the United States?

Now, what if the referendum was passed to do that?

Well, if such a scenario was okay for the Crimea region of Ukraine, surely Putin would see the legality of his people wishing to become a part of the United States...

No, we need not hold our breath until such a thing comes to pass, but, it IS a dreamy (if silly) thought... :)
