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

I think a discussion about the reality of a Texit would be interesting. Don’t get mad that you disagree with me.
What exactly do you think the TSG (total troop size about 2,200 — by comparison Ft. Hood alone has 90,000) would do?
Also the TSG is made up of the TNG and thus reports to the POTUS. Would they rebel? It also means the materiel belong to the USA — and the USA pays their salary.
Picture a scenario where the USA blockades Texas just puts up roadblocks on all roads coming in and out and blockades the Gulf and the Rio Grand? What is Texas response?
The USA then closes all pipelines out of Texas so oil can’t be moved. The USA then closes all banks (already having declared all bases and posts as US territory and expelling all Texans from them, then either closing or just going into lockdown).
Finally, the USA tells the world that any government that accepts Texas scrip will have its assets in the US frozen and barred from doing business with the US.
This is a scenario just off the top of my head. The USA wins without a shot fired.
I am not ROOTING for this — I am saying this is only one of many scenarios. If there is a scenario where Texas could actually secede, I would love to see it.
I mean that, I would be very interested in how it might be pulled off.
Truth, BTW is not BS.
Unless you have better numbers than I can find.
As for the end result, you offer no counter-scenarios that say Texas could survive an attempt at secession.
