What defines a country as latin american? I thought it was speaking a romance language, like Argentina, Brazil or Quebec

I thought it was the parts of the American continents that were originally settled by the people of Latin based languages

Latin-America is the geo political equivalent of a bully victim, the bully being the US. I refer you to all the sanctions, embargoes, government coups, etc.

If Texas somehow manages to secede, it becomes Northern Mexico.

Wouldn’t it be great if the US started relocating it’s military bases to other states? I’m sure NM, MI or CA would be happy to have them.

That’s already happening, because the draconian antitrans and anti-abortion laws are impacting readiness in those states and driving down recruitment.

Oh you mean the 42 town-sized forward operating bases inside the treasonous province? They will come in very handy in the 72 hours it takes to resecure that territory.

I always wondered how quick that would go down.

72 hours seems quick, but I guess they wouldn’t really encounter actual resistance.

Do people really think that the servicemen in the military would willingly attack Texans? I have a huge suspicion that they’d revolt within the armed forces.

As someone currently serving active duty, yes - depending on the command climate and the servicemember. Especially if the targets are labeled as insurgents and a VEO threat with credible evidence. Now, bombing noncombatant civilians is a different story, but as far as conducting surgical strikes on domestic terrorists, no hesitation.

If it’s anything like the rest, they just leave toxic fuel spills to slowly seep into all the aquifers

Perfect. Texas loves not having environmental regulations, so there shouldn’t be any issue!

Michigan is anti-trans, so no. I don’t know about NM.

Ohhh… they DO have all the guns. It’s a pity those gun range is not enough to shoot down all the very busy b-22 though

I imagine if the US wanted to, they could embargo it, and most if not all other nations would just see it as a parent putting a 6yo to the corner; not their job.
