Civil war in USA and potential new independent estates

Lets put the question this way. Which estate would be taken over by China as the result of United States defaulting on its Treasury debt and not being able to pay its soldiers to defend its territories? I will go for California.

Financial CV editing service

The stupid is thing I keep receiving emails about new available positions from both jobserve and CWJobs . I guess these positions are not valid or all the applications which they receive are from young Einsteins. I cannot really figure this out and I am quite puzzled.

Civil war in USA and potential new independent estates
