A Texas state lawmaker filed a bill on Monday that would set a referendum for voters to decide whether the state should explore the possibility of seceding from the United States. If the measure — …
The government would never let Texas leave the union, and if by some miracle they actually did I’m sure those weapons and facilities would be forcibly repatriated.
Texas can’t even keep their own lights on, I think it would be hilarious to watch them try to go it alone. But it won’t ever happen.
as @[email protected] said below, if this were to happen, the US would take the nukes back, similar to what happened after the collapse of the USSR and ballistic missiles in Ukraine and other former soviet states.
Depends, do you think the ethnonationalist psychos in Texas are more reasonable than post-soviet bureaucrats? Similarly, would the limp-wristed dems who seek to heal the divide at all costs be willing to actually do anything if they said no?
I’m just assuming that since the facility is managed by the Department of Energy, that would settle any debate over whose nukes they are.
Like, going down the rabbit hole of speculative History, there’s no way the US would let a breakaway nation have nukes. Like, that’s an existential threat. Cuban missile crisis level existential threat
Lmao I forgot about that one. Maybe the US takes advantage of them not knowing what the DOE controls (the nukes) and just says “oh yeah the DOE needs to clean out their offices and storage facilities. Don’t mind us.”
It might be fun for a short while to watch the two sides in a US civil war nuke each other, but given the terrifying number of American WMDs the clouds would probably still envelop the rest of the Earth and kill us all. Oh well.
Before everyone jumps on the “good riddance” bandwagon, please keep in mind that the main US government facility for building and maintaining nuclear weapons is in Texas.

Texas leaving and the U.S. extracting its nukes would be the best scenario. Horrible for a lot of people in Texas, but better for the world at large.
oh no, not our precious omnicidal nuclearinos!

So, only one nuclear armed rabid dog.

Provided they don’t do away with it first. (But yeah I generally agree with you)
