“We Americans are not giving up any federally owned land in California ever.”
I wouldn’t sell them or give them to California, just close them down as the people there are supporting California with income taxes, property taxes and other taxes.
The independent California exercise will end soon enough. However, it may provide an opportunity for America’s enemies to rent bases from the cash strapped Californians, which will cause problems, especially when they move missiles onto their new territory. Also, the crime gangs will move in and make California resemble Mexico. This is going to hurt everybody, but at the same time I’d like to remove the huge legitimate vote in national affairs as well as the illegitimate illegal vote. From that aspect, the most important one, I think, the Calexit will be good for the US.
As with everything, there is rarely a win across the board. Rather, this will have good aspects and bad aspects. We shall enjoy the one and manage the other.
Maybe treat them like N.Korea and not permit them to house any missiles on our bases. As soon as the Feds see any kind of evidence of this beginning to happen, do a pre-emptive strike?
The thought of them seceding is just so tantalizing. If they do, and fail, and want to re-join, it would be the perfect opportunity to divide it into several states, clean out the riff raff and insane, and bust up the 9th Circuit.
