>>Well, Texas has huge refining capability and it has large ports and it is The Place for Oil Industry technology and manufacturing.<<

Which would be shut down by the USA, along with a blockade of attempts to export.

Texas has no standing military nor the ability to create one. Since the military in Texas is mostly not from Texas, any attempt by Texas to annex it would fail. The loyalty and materiel would remain with the USA.

Texas would be toothless and broke in a month, as would ANY state that tried to secede.

Texas would flourish economically with the yoke of the federal govt gone. Only an idiot fails to that.

How does Israel mange with only 8 million people? They have a country and an army.

Well, you are wrong again.

Texas has the Texas State Guard (not National Guard) And they have increased the size of it in the past 2 years.

You said:

“Texas would be toothless and broke in a month”

You are simply wrong again.

This is the wrong place to spread BS about Texas.

I’ve already told you I want no part of secession, but circumstances could happen that would warrant it.

Not that I think that is even a wild possibility.

Bye
