They wouldn't get to keep US military hardware ..

I think they might keep National guard stuff, but that's it.

They don't keep their border/port security, air trafficker controllers, all types of stuff.

Not to mention the quality of people who would flee to America, and the type of people to join Texas.

Even just economic sanctions from the US would destroy the wealthy Texans, they do t have their own international banking systems in Texas.

Like, they'd be left with a couple local credit unions. International chains would eventually operate there, but if Texas became a new country, there's a process banking has to follow to operate there.

It's just idiots that have never left Texas, think nothing would change if no one left Texas.

It would take years to negotiate trade deals. No sanctions needed.
