    Please, for Christ’s sake, just leave. Have the plebiscite. Take it to Congress. Let them release you on the condition that all Americans in Texas be allowed to emigrate, fully compensated, and all wannabe Texans are allowed to immigrate, fully compensated, for the next 6 months.

    Oh, and we keep the military equipment. I’m sure their ‘well-regulated militia’ will be enough for them.

      We’ll leave it there for convenience when we invade since they will be an unstable oil rich nation in need of freedom.

        Ugh, no, let them stay out. We don’t need a Resource Trap country to try nation-building on, pretty sure we already tried that one.

          Not 80s-90s era ‘nation building’, 40s era reconstruction. If nazi germany is salvageable we can probably figure texas out with the correct level of commitment.

        Sounds like a good way to start getting us off that oil teat to be honest.

      Also we’ll build a wall at the Texas-US borders, but not because we think it’ll be effective, just because it’ll be hilarious
