If the U.S. collapsed and Texas seceded; then 30 years later the U.S. decided to invade Texas with old, unmaintained vehicles that kept breaking down, and seemed to have no aerial dominance whatsoever, then I would doubt that the U.S. could do much to stop shipments from Mexico into Texas. Especially if shipments were continuously coming into Texas from Mexico already and nothing was being done to stop them.Well to be honest since all western coverage is completely one-sided you nor I really know.
Invading a country the size of Texas is no small undertaking and given the plodding way the Russians/Soviets have always conducted operations (and yes, with no small amount of ineptitude) I expected it to take months.
Look at it this way, and try to forget the moral differences.
If the US was invading a newly formed Republic of Texas to bring it back into the Union and arms were coming from Mexico into Texas to prolong the conflict would you not expect the US to hit those shipments destined to rearm Texans to enable them kill Americans?
