Shouldn't you "putin" her first, before you make such a rash decision?
On a more serious note, I know there are tax ramifications with dual citizenship.

British and French here. Hardly ever been British enough for the Brits, and not French enough anymore for the Frogs. Full residency rights in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
I’m considered exotic in all of the above. I can live with that :-)

Dual citizenship; British and Australian, I have two passports.
Givens you the benefit of lots of freedom of movement through the respective countries, and also lowers waiting times in airports.
Kindest regards,

I can understand dual citizenship in countries like the British Commonwealth. All very similar systems of government , basically congruous values systems and history. I don't know how it would work with very diverse or incongruous belief of systems of government. e.g. Iran and Australia ....it would be impossible to be a 'loyal citizen' of both. My thoughts are exactly the same Archie.

There was dual citizens on the a/c shot down. Iran didn't recognize but Canada did recognize the dual citizenship.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

but across the border in Holland you can only have the one. No it doesn't. You can even be a minister or queen, and have dual citizenship.

I am a citizen of the US and of Canada. I have two passports. I am of Filipino/Portugeuse/Spanish descent. I may also be able to get some form of British citizenship since my mom was born in Hong Kong during British rule, and also Filipino citzenship since she and my dad are Filipino. So I am "Untied Nations," haha
I could be a citizen of the EU/Poland as well if I go through their naturalization process since my wife is Polish (and has US Citizenship as well, and also 2 passports). But, I don't really feel the need ot have to learn about 200 odd Polish kings or their constitution(s), heh.
My son is a US citizen but can get a Canadian passport since I've got citizenship, as well as en EU/Polish one since his mom has citizenship there.
One potential advantage: US Citizens aren't allowed into the EU, however, we could go on our Canadian and Polish passports to Britain, then self quarantine for 2 weeks, then gain access to the EU since my wife has direct family there. If we didn't live in the US we could just go straight there. Before the ban was lifted, we could vacation in Cuba too (now anyone can go pretty much).
Plus the EU was planning reciprocity for a visa against the US before COVID-19, so we could have just gone to the EU on our other passports.

LOL! The US citizenship test is super easy compared to that!

I learned something new from Bones I was under the impression that the US did not allow dual citizenship.....or have the rules changed over the years? One of my cousins married a USAAF pilot just after WW2. They moved to the states. She got Canadian citizenship when Nfld joined Canada and they moved several times between Michigan and Ontario over the years. She is almost 90 now and her kids are almost all retired. We were told that when the kids reached 21 they had to choose whether to be a US or Canadian citizen because " the US did not allow dual citizenship " ??Most of them hit 21 during the Viet Nam war era. 4 of the girls are American and 3 are Canadian. All 4 boys are Canadian ( she had a load of kids )

Thanks for this. Apparently the members of parliament either fall under the old legislation and do not want to lose their double passport, or are not allowed to lose their nationality (turkish/maroccan). Apparently the dutch queen cannot lose her argentinian nationality either.
