I don't think so. The US was put together (at least twice) by sovereign states that wanted to join together in a union. The USSR conquered and held the 13 republics by force. Czechoslovakia was created by Post-WWI peace treaties from pieces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
There a deal of difference in breaking up a free union of free peoples and empires made by conquest and marriage.
