Calexit’: Yes California movement opens ‘embassy’ in Moscow

A campaign calling for the independence of California from the United States has opened an “embassy” in Moscow.
The movement, Yes California, is hoping for a “Calexit” break from the US. Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, Louis Marinelli, leader of the movement, said the embassy will not deal with diplomatic issues, but will act as more of a cultural center that will educate Russians about California's history, boost trade ties and promote tourism.

We're not requesting military assistance from Russia,” Marinelli explained. “We're certainly going to request recognition of our independence and recognition of our [2019] independence referendum result, as we're going to request that the entire international community recognizes the results.”

The California independence movement gained some traction, particularly on social media, in the wake of Donald Trump’s election victory in November. It describes itself as a “nonviolent campaign to establish the country of California using any and all legal and constitutional means to do so.

the russians don't give a shyt about a side, it's just about picking the easier one to manipulate in one situation and then when that happens (trump is president), manipulate the pissed off side. if hillary had won maybe texit would be opening an "embassy" in russia. help america self-destruct.

 

[The American]

Good for them, anyone that willingly lives under trump without resistance, is a fakkit. There are lots of states that would benefit from secession.

Let's leave the red states on their own, see how those rednecks do. Their society would crumble, they're too dim for proper civilization.

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

The person behind this so-called movement lives in Russia. And there's no real support for this.

From his home in Russia, #Calexit leader plots California secession

"Marinelli's effort is endorsed by the Kremlin, which hosted Yes California as part of an anti-globalization conference in Moscow in September. The conference was paid for by the Russian government, and the pictures of Marinelli flanked by other "freedom fighters" from Texas ("Texit," anyone?), Catalonia, Ireland and Puerto Rico provided Yes California a veneer of legitimacy."

"Despite these significant obstacles for the group — and with little, if any, grass-roots support for the campaign — Russian media outlets covered Marinelli’s effort in earnest. Several times, the Communist Party’s Pravda newspaper covered the Yes California campaign, including this September, when he met with other secessionists at a conference sponsored by the Russian government."
