Texas when they realise they’re suddenly part of Latin-America.
The CIA:
What defines a country as latin american? I thought it was speaking a romance language, like Argentina, Brazil or Quebec
I thought it was the parts of the American continents that were originally settled by the people of Latin based languages
Would that include Louisiana?
I thought Louisiana was Jamaican and French?
French is a Romance Language.
Y’know sometimes my stupidity is almost frightening.
Seriously though I took French in school I have no excuse lmao
Latin-America is the geo political equivalent of a bully victim, the bully being the US. I refer you to all the sanctions, embargoes, government coups, etc.
If Texas somehow manages to secede, it becomes Northern Mexico.
Wouldn’t it be great if the US started relocating it’s military bases to other states? I’m sure NM, MI or CA would be happy to have them.
That’s already happening, because the draconian antitrans and anti-abortion laws are impacting readiness in those states and driving down recruitment.
Oh you mean the 42 town-sized forward operating bases inside the treasonous province? They will come in very handy in the 72 hours it takes to resecure that territory.
I always wondered how quick that would go down.
72 hours seems quick, but I guess they wouldn’t really encounter actual resistance.
Yeah “muh guns” are pretty useless against predator drones and air support
We did Baghdad in a month; we could do Austin in three days.
Barring the State politicians, I thought Austin was majority Democrat?
Probably, but nothing makes a statement like taking a regime’s capital.
That might crash the beard oil and red suspenders industries…
Both of which are much better for the world than the current main industries of Texas: fossil fuels and fascism.
Houston is the 4th largest city in the country, and generates a shitload of oil revenue. That’s way more important than Austin.
makes it real easy to justify liberating it then, doesn’t it? most of the people living there want to remain part of the US.
Do people really think that the servicemen in the military would willingly attack Texans? I have a huge suspicion that they’d revolt within the armed forces.
As someone currently serving active duty, yes - depending on the command climate and the servicemember. Especially if the targets are labeled as insurgents and a VEO threat with credible evidence. Now, bombing noncombatant civilians is a different story, but as far as conducting surgical strikes on domestic terrorists, no hesitation.
National guard at Kent state had no issues killing civilians.
Would love to see what they would do to the ones they leave to “decommission” them
If it’s anything like the rest, they just leave toxic fuel spills to slowly seep into all the aquifers
Perfect. Texas loves not having environmental regulations, so there shouldn’t be any issue!
lol their power grid is already so fucked that key strikes against it would leave them wondering if it was part of the combat or if it had just failed of its own accord
As I Texan, I both laughed and cried at how true this is.
“Democracy is non-negotiable.”
We are Borg
And here I thought Texas had all the guns guess I was wrong
Ohhh… they DO have all the guns. It’s a pity those gun range is not enough to shoot down all the very busy b-22 though
Tell them it’s for their own good! They don’t even have an electrical grid that works properly!
I imagine if the US wanted to, they could embargo it, and most if not all other nations would just see it as a parent putting a 6yo to the corner; not their job.
This was my thought too!
Let them secede, then just go to war with them and claim the territory and depose the racist shitheads.
Break us up into 5 states. Houston, Dallas, Brownsville, El Paso, and Austin!
I think plenty of little desert countries have recently proved that the biggest military in the world might have some issues dealing with insurgencies.
True. Imagine how much more successful a Texan insurgency force would be compared to the middle east. Their armored division would be formidable, the thunderous roar of hundreds of mobility scooters.
