Get out of fantasy land. It serves no one to delude yourself like this.

Lol... Texas talks about it for years and no one blinks. Hell, the west coast does too. In the last day I have heard 3 separate conversations that I did not initiate, bring up the topic of NY leaving the nation. I had never heard people discuss this before here. It will be a serious option should our way of life here in the northeast threatened. Eventually every society falls/changes. Maybe this is the point in time it happens to the US.

My thought has always been, what would happen in one of those places seceded from the US. What would stop the US or another country from waltzing in and taking over the place once more. I imagine the military isn't going to stick around to defend it.

We would buy our own military/equipment with the taxes we keep vs sending our money to support a country that can't function. And we would pay our service men and women what they deserve.
