No one is going to nuke us.Texas would have control over the nukes that are here, anyway.

Texas would have control over nukes? You really think the U.S. military is gonna just throw the doors open and say "come on in and take them from us"? That's as ridiculous as the writer of the article, who says Texas would be fine because it boasts "aerospace and defense industries." Who the heck does he think pays for those industries? I'm pretty sure Texas has never shot off its own rocket, and let's see how great those defense industries do when the only thing supporting them are Texas taxpayers.

Texas gets less back from FedGov than it pays. We'd be better off per capita without the union.

Texas is as large as France and has greater natural resources, including rare earths.

I'd be willing to take my chances.
