    What is winning? Subduing Texas?

    Absolutely ridiculous that you think carpet bombing would be

    A. Effective Or B. Politically possible.

    There wouldn’t be a fight. It would be half suicidal for federal troops for a long time, and to think brother would blindly fight brother is crazy talk. Our military, through every end of our ranks, is filled with Texans and their family.

    It would never happen, but the idea that Texas would just be overrun like Iraq is absolutely stupid.

        Nope. Born in CO and raised in GA. Please understand that I think secessionists are dumb, just that the idea that the federal government would just roll them is stupid.

          It wouldn’t be a fight at all. They can just “sanction” them. It wouldn’t take long for their infrastructure to shut down, their economy to collapse etc.

          There is no path to secession for a single state without support from the rest of the country. 250 years ago America likely wouldn’t have been able to split from Britain without help from France.

      Sorry mate. You honestly sound like a child.

      Everyone likes playing cowboys and Indians but when push comes to shove anyone with a partner or kids or a mortgage is gonna stand down.

      Only an idiot would get into a shooting war over a piss weak political ideology.

        I agree! I don’t think secession will ever actually happen, I’m just saying that, in a clown world where it did, the idea that federal forces would just roll over Texas is laughable.
