Russian lawmaker Sergey Mironov offered to help Texas get independence from the United States in a social media post on Saturday.

I don't look at the crazy we see as independent flashes of events. All is connected, and things are unfolding in a specific order to accomplish the Draining of the Swamp.

All the bad stuff MUST happen under bidEn.

Thanks for the offer, Sergey, but we’ve got this.

The economy of Texas is larger than Russia’s.

Man, I did not even have this one in my betting pool.

Of course Russia would be jubilant if the USA descended into civil war. Then they’d pretty much have a free hand to expand as they pleased in Europe and Asia.

U.S. Constitution, Art. IV, Sect 2 clears this up. States have rights over who becomes a citizen in their state. States can raise armies to enforce those rights. Dropping off Fed illegal alien 'parolees' in a state violates those rights.

The closest territory that does not have sovereign rights, District of Columbia, doesn't have a governor, it has a mayor for that reason.

So sending those trucks to the border can be used to move the 'parolees' to Washington, D.C. is the correct thing to do.

Odds are this guy is a leftist troll. Keep at arms length.

Go away, Sergey.

“Attempting to maintain its relations with the US, Russia recognized Texas as an independent state from 1836 until the annexation of Texas by the United States, which Russia also fully supported. Neither Russia nor Texas built an embassy in the other’s capital, and it is not known diplomats were sent.”
Doesn’t Texas Women’s University have a song sounding similar to “God Save the Tsar!” for an alma mater?

"Thanks for the offer, Sergey, but we’ve got this."

Agreed. However, considering the source article, I would not be surprised if its a trial balloon to see if they can get people to buy into a sort of "Russian Dossier Part 2"--'Oh no, Texas and 24 other states aren't finally fed up with an invasion sponsored in part by elements of the Federal government. They're all acting on orders from Putin".

Someone needs to read our Constitution to O'Biden, and if he doesn't like it he can get the hell out of our country..!!

The Slavic serfs lack the intellect to help Texas

Perhaps we should tell Biden that Russkies are crossing the southern border. Heck, he might close the border at that point.

You’ll have to read it very slowly to him with some full-color illustrations.

There IS a pathway for Texas to join NATO
