Depends who is running the cityFood can be shipped from anywhere in the world. Most major ports are in Blue citiesAnd we'll freeze your food supply. Check and Mate! Can't eat money, can you.I actually forced myself to watch the video in the OP
About what I expected. Redneck, gun nut fantasy about how easy it would be to defeat the blue sectors of the country
They look at the map of red sectors vs blue sectors and nearly pop their wad. How easy it will be to mop up those tiny blue areas
What they fail to realize is those blue sections are where the actual people are. More importantly, that is where the money is.
Every Red State has a major city that is the center of wealth and power. Those cities are the ones who support rural areas. That is where the capital is. The financial centers in the US are US, Chicago, LA, SF, Atlanta
As soon as your civil war starts, those cities will freeze your finances. You will have no way to pay your workers or military. Your monetary system will be worth what the confederate dollar was worth
Who are you going to sell your food to without any ports to ship?
While Houston is liberal in the inner city the rest is all red,we'd take over the Port of Houston in short order.
Each year, more than 247 million tons of cargo move through the greater Port of Houston, carried by more than 8,200 vessels and 215,000 barges. The port is consistently ranked 1st in the United States in foreign waterborne tonnage; 1st in U.S. imports; 1st in U.S. export tonnage and 2nd in the U.S. in total tonnage. It is also the nation’s leading breakbulk port, handling 52 percent of project cargo at Gulf Coast ports.
Thats not to mention the 18 other ports in Texas.
But thanks for your concern......
Houston Police Dept will protect the city and the ports. Being a natural port,armed marines and reinforcements will be available to defend the ports
