I reckon ya'll have heard that Gov. Greg Abbot of the great state of Texas has called up the Texas National Guard to defend the state from the invasion the Biden administration is insisting Texas suffer.
Several states, including Oklahoma, Florida, and South Dakota have issued statements in support of Texas. While the Texas State Senate is controlled by Republicans, the House of Representatives is controlled by Democrats, so the political acts that may be soon necessary to ram through will not be slam dunks. However, even Democrats in Texas are done being invaded, so I think Abbot will be able to get what he needs from the legislature with some politicking.
Scuttlebutt on Zerohedge is that Texas should secede, and there's plenty of rhetoric in the comment section about volunteers being ready, willing, and able to go and defend Texas from any military pressure the US federal government might try to apply to convince Gov. Abbot to quit closing the border with razor wire and open it back up.
There's been a lot of talk of civil war and balkanization of the US in recent years, as the NeoCommies have been using a conspiracy between the deep state, academia, and the media to push a variety of deranging policies that have dramatically degraded quality of life in the USA. Ever since the 2020 election fraud put a senile, demented geriatric (they claim is Joe Biden) in the White House, conditions have got considerably worse, particularly in cities with Democratic mayors, and states with Democratic governors. The plandemic medically and economically destroyed a lot of people, many remain gravely ill from the adverse effects of the jabs. Race riots followed up causing $B's in damage to cities, and provided strong evidence of US deep state collusion. Lately the open borders have facilitated a flood of Chinese fentanyl and xylazine that has transformed the homeless hordes into contorted Zombies. Cities like San Francisco, Portland, and Chicago are considered unlivable by many today, and a lot of people have fled them for flyover country, and states like Florida and Texas.
There is now a strong pushback to the globalist climate scam that has been destroying the economies and power infrastructures of the West. The USA even sabotaged the Nordstream II pipeline to prevent inexpensive, reliable Russian gas from being available in Europe, and the successful industries that used to make Germany one of the wealthiest nations on Earth are fleeing for the USA and China, where they can still get fuel to run their factories. Lots of good people are over it. Last year the Netherlands followed the EU's instructions to get rid of it's farms - the most productive farms in the world - and the farmers fought back and rallied the Dutch. Since then their political party swept local, and then national elections, and their guy Geert Wilders is Prime Minister there today, the EU's man having retired. Javier Milei, who's fiery Libertarian rhetoric often involved chainsaws symbolizing how he'd cut government spending, is now Argentina's President, and just delivered one of the most scathing criticisms of the WEF they've ever received to their faces, right there in Davos. Today farmers across France and Germany are following the Dutch farmers' lead, and are dumping waste at government offices across the European heartlands, serially closing French highways, too.
Of course the war in the Ukraine was the reason for the Nordstream II sabotage, not the global warming scam, and the economic sanctions from that have significantly damaged the economies of the West, while killing off ~1M Ukrainians by arming them up and pushing them at the Russian MoD without air support. It's safe to say that NATO has lost the Ukraine, and this is so obvious that NATO isn't even arming their Ukrainian proxy anymore. I guess they got enough of them killed off, and their bloodthirst is momentarily sated there.
But it's obviously not in Israel, where the USA has supplied enough arms and materiel to Israel to rack up over 20k dead civilians - so far. When the Houthis in Yemen acted to blockade shipping through the Red Sea to Israel to support the Palestinian civilians, the deep state pulling Biden's strings decided to start a war there, too, ostensibly to defend shipping. However, since the military actions against the Houthis began, even less shipping has passed through the Red Sea, so that doesn't seem to be working either.
Iran has proved it can hit US bases - and Israel - with ballistic missiles, and neocons have been salivating over a war with Iran since baby bomber Bolton was born. However with three military conflicts to support already, adding Iran is clearly a bigger bite than the US military can chew right now. The US used to plan to be able to fight two wars at a time. Four is more than two.
Adding the conquest of Texas to that litany just isn't likely right now. The NeoCommunist alliance to destroy everything everywhere that's cropped up in America in the last decade has a perfect opportunity to finish the job right now. All they have to do is send in ground forces in the Ukraine, Iran, and Texas, and within a few months the American empire that has ruled most of the world for the last 50 years will be over. The dollar will no longer be the reserve currency of the world, and the USA will balkanize, as several states will profit from seceding, if only to get out from under the NeoCommies that are undermining everything good and holy.
Pretty sure they aren't going to do anything but back down on the border in Texas. The Billionaires that have been looting every dollar the Fed has been printing up want to spend it before they die hanging from lamp posts. Some of their luxury bunkers aren't finished yet.
