Look at an historical example of a secession. When the Soviet Union broke up, did Russia get to keep all the tanks and warships?
Answer: no. For instance, the Ukraine came away from that divorce with quite a stash of military hardware, including a fleet.
In the same way, look for a bunch of US states to secede at once, like a huge ice shelf breaking away. At least one of those states will have either nukes or military assets. And at least one of them will be Arizona.

Watch Montana. They have an Independent spirit, a border with a friendly country so they can't be starved out, and LGM-30s. If even a few of those get into the hands of the rebels then you have an instant foreign recognition of independence. If NK with a few obsolete bombs and no decent delivery system can blackmail the world, Montana with a hundred 1.5 megaton nukes that they can have anyplace in the world in 30 minutes or less or your money back will make the UN $#!T bricks.
