1 The United States federal military is not permitted to under any circumstances take action against united states citizens.
2 Texas would not be able to use their nukes, due to their not possessing the launch codes.
3 Their economy would collapse.
4 Cities would secede from Texas.
5 People would rebel against the Texan government.
6 We would probably ignore 1 and send soldiers to secure the territory and nukes anyway.
7 You dont want unstable micro-countries with high-class military hardware and poor economies running around on the Mexican border, thats just asking for the more powerful cartels to waltz over and claim an independant nation for themselves.
1. Never stop the Federal government from sending troops to crush insurrection. See the American Civil War, Shay's Rebellion, and the miner strikes to say a few.
2. So true
3. So true
4. Probably, City folk and rural folk rarely see eye to eye.
5. Yes
6. The US government would.
7. So true or would cause a border war that would force the US to intervene and reabsorb Texas.
The UN wouldn't do Jack if the US sent troops in Texas to crush a insurrection
Also on the whole thing. Can this retarded issue please just end. The Civil War ended any discussion on succession......Period. No state can leave the Union legally and not without a bloodbath. These retards that keep hawking this up seriously need to get a life and move on. You want to change things in the US. Vote in November.
