If part of the US broke away...would you go to war with them?

[Missourian]

Texas and California used to be part of Mexico.

Do you imagine that if Mexico was as strong as we are and we were as weak as they are that there's a strong probability they would take them back by force?

I do.

Then show us the research that lead you to the conclusion that the State of Texas owns nukes.

Changing the goal posts? Did Ukraine own it's own nukes?

Yes.

 

[Wyatt earp]

Yes.

Of course I proved you wrong

 

[rightwinger]

Say if New York City decided to impose its crap on rural Iowa and came in with weapons and military? Yup I am afraid I'd have to shoot back and fight for all I was worth against their take over.

Why would someone from NYC want to go to Iowa?

Y'all gotta forgive me cuz I have been bingeing The Last Kingdom on netflix. The OPs question reminded me of Alfred and his dream of Wessex be one big country of nothing but christians and those pesky Vikings (Danes) were in the way. Never mind Wales and Scotland. He forgot all about them I guess. So..war after war, deaths galore, all in the name of his dream which did eventually happen at the expense of those who wanted their own little countries within a country. So in answer to the OPs question...no. I would not fight to get anyone back if they wanted to be free in their own little world ruled by someone they nominated to lead it instead of cowering before a wannabe king and his elite elders getting richer off the backs of the peasants. I'm one of those peasants...and I have two pitchforks. I'll use 'em, by golly, to defend my own little hamlet I reside in.

Are you also proposing that Texas give up its nukes on a promise that a Democrat President would defend her?

What makes you think Texas has nukes? The nukes in Texas are at the SAC bomber bases; They are easily moved.

Are they stationed in Texas?

 

[bripat9643]

Haven't we been through this before in 1860-1861? How did that work out?

I'll take that as a "yes."

 

[bripat9643]

They should stay right where they are.

 

[bripat9643]

That's an entirely different situation. The USSR no longer existed.

So?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Are they stationed in Texas?

Well, DUH!

Wyatt Earp you ain't!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I'll take that as a "yes."

If that is the case, you are an idiot.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

They should stay right where they are.

They would be loaded on the bombers and leave Texas,

 

[Wyatt earp]

Well, DUH!

Wyatt Earp you ain't!

So Texas has B1 bombers and a Virginia class submarine and of course battleship!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

So?

You really are dumber than a box of hammers. How do you give something back to something that no longer exists?

We, and other nuclear powers, didn't want Ukraine or any former members of the USSR to have nukes. It makes life simpler.

Simpler for you and Putin to invade them, comrade?

You're a Russian troll

There are no submarine bases in Texas. I hereby promote you, by the power vested in me by no one, to idiot first class. THat battleship is in overhaul because as a museum ship, she nearly capsized and sank at the pier.

Was Putin in charge in 1991? Uh, no. Educate yourself please!
