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

[Turtlesoup]

No Texas shouldn’t leave.

I’ve got an idea. New York can secede and join Canada. The West Coast can make their own hell-hole and the rest of us can be left alone.

You mean instead of leaving---KICK out NY and California along with a few other dead beats.

Kuwait was once part of Iraq and they all speak Arabic

Interesting...but that doesn't really answer the question.

If a group of states decided in free and fair elections to secede and form their own country...would you support war to bring them back?

Nope.

 

[KoolKolt]

If they negotiated their withdrawal and division of assets and debt I would be OK with it

The problem with your proposal is that Republicans don’t accept the results of elections that they lose.

Have you forgotten about Hillary Clinton and Al Gore?

 

[rightwinger]

How are you going to take back military bases? You think TEXAS would allow fed overlords in the TEXAS country after escaping you nuts? And I am sorry, it is almost like you don't realize how much oil and other tax money has gone to support the nation over the years. And oh my, didn't Biden leave the terrorists a bunch of weapons in the middle east----but you think he should take away weapons in TEXAS? How very telling.

Guess what Skippy
Those bases are Federal Land and do not belong to Texas.
Ever hear of what happened at Ft Sumpter?

I saw concessions from both Hillary and Al Gore

I didn’t see them attack the Capitol

 

[BS Filter]

Texas is one of those states that gets more dollars from the Fed Govt than they give. So we can bill them for that when they go join Mexico as well

You mean like California, New York, etc?

I got an idea!

How about we let the people of Ukraine decide whether they want to belong to Russia

These people prefer hyper-nationalist authoritarianism.

They're not even trying to hide it any more.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

...to bring them back? Even if they elected their own government in free and fair election?

I've heard Democrats say for YEARS that they would. But since it is now politically detrimental to espouse that view...let's say the new country wants to join an alliance with China for protection. You still cool with that?

Ukraine was a part of Russia BEFORE it was the Soviet Union.

Just think about it. I expect plenty of thoughtless responses..."If you think critically...the terrorists win!".

Let's see some thoughtful ones as well...

Now do Israel.

Yes good point. KICK them out. They can continue to make hell of themselves and we’ll build a wall and keep them out.

If folks voted to secede I think we should let them do it. No war to bring them back.

Cool. Monsanto and Cargill will drop questionnaires and report back soon

 

[Rogue AI]

It would depend on why they broke away. If it was dumb liberals, no, their policies would have then killing each other in months and they would beg to be saved. If it was conservatives breaking away from fascist liberal policies, many sensible folks would join them.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

You mean like California, New York, etc?

The people in both Cali and NY pay more in Fed Taxes than they receive back from the Fed Govt. They are two of the 10 states that can make this claim

I believe, personally, that secession is a natural right.

No one can force you to associate with people you don't want to associate with.

If they try, they're being a tyrant.

Absolutely not. Let them break away from the tyrannical morass and corrupt liars that we have as a govt.

You can't be this thick-headed. These people choosing to fight and die for their country doesn't give you a clue as to what their choice is.

But Hillary and her lackies doesn’t still talk about how she actually won, 6 years later, even tho the Russia collusion has been proven a hoax?

The voter fraud in 2020 has not actually been proven a hoax. Maybe in a couple states. But democrats get riled up when we talk about investigations. If you were so sure there was no fraud, why don’t they sit back and let it be investigated like Trump did in 2016. Instead, if we talk about voter fraud in 2020 we are censored.

How do you secede?
Do you reimburse the US for all federal land?
How do you allocate $30 trillion National Debt?
What about residents who receive SS, Federal and Military Pensions….who pays?
