The nationalists will be so out gunned, out numbered and under siege, it will make their heads spin.
I think you may have miscalculated.
With the number of guns in civilian hands? I know of no army in the world big enough to even take Texas by itself, much less a large collection of states.
If Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq taught us anything, it's that no amount of air superiority and firepower will every take the place of boots on the ground.
And, they don't have 1/10th the number needed.
I have a buddy that is SO into guns, loves 'em.
I told him a long, long time ago.
The end will not be what he thinks it will be. . . and I was right.
They will never come to Texas and try to fight you.
They know what your strengths are.
They will shut off your power. They will shut off your water. They will cut off your food.
They will wait you out.
You might have stocked up on all of this. . but most folks haven't.
. . and then? They will just wait for you to die or need something like medical care.
It will be a siege, on you. You just won't be able to go anywhere.
They have already run these scenario's and drills. They already know.
We have our own power grid here in Texas. They'll have to come on down to shut it down.
We have plenty of water and food.
Texas will be a tough nut to crack if they wanna get serious.
. . . that's just it, THEY WON'T.
Here's the thing, folks are griping about the current state of affairs, and want change, threatening, revolt, or revolution, etc.
Clausewitz is famous for saying;
There is a line attributed to Kissinger under the famous Chatham house rules.
“
Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.”
The point I am trying to make here, is, they already hold all the cards. The political situation is already as they would have it. The political situation is just as they desire. The corporations, the banks, the infrastructure, all of the integrated infrastructure in Texas will bend the knee, as will all the political elites, you know it, I know it.
The only folks that are unhappy with the situation will be the mom and pop main-street voter, and there is nothing they will do. To change the situation, they need to take the political initiative, and they won't. Thus, the establishment has only to ignore them.
Texas has no ability to feed itself, not the entire population, not over the long haul.
Thousands of families — including some who waited nearly 12 hours — turned out Saturday at the usually empty grounds of Fair Park for the North Texas Food...

And the energy corporations, are in the pocket of the federal & international political institutions, as are the international finance corporations that prop them up. Hell, if you had been following my Stay Informed thread, you would be aware that Goldman Sachs is considering moving the financial capital from NY to Texas. Does that sound like the American oligarchs are worried about losing Texas?
I have no doubt individual Texans have the will to resist an "invasion," but since none is necessary, as the political landscape is already how the folks in charge desire it, what is the point?
All information, means of communication and organization, food processing and distribution, mass food production and mass food distribution, control of finance, etc. are controlled by those whom you oppose. . . THAT is my point. And the local politicians will bend the knee to them.
Or else? They will suffer the same fate as Gaddafi and his forces. And then Texas will look like Libya does today.
So of course the bougiese and upper-classes won't dare upset the apple cart, they will fully welcome Chinese state capitalism. Even if it will make Texas look like NY or Cali, what do they care, as long as they are on top?
