Could Secession Succeed?

There’s an undeniable pleasure in imagining the blue states cut off from America and forced to fend for themselves without normal Americans to feed them, fuel them, and defend them from the kind of dirtbags they kiss up to in order to show us knuckle-dragging Jesus-folk what for. But secession is a terrible idea, for them, but more importantly, for us. And while I don’t think America will unravel anytime soon – though those of us who read real history instead of silly oppression studies dreck understand that all great civilizations do eventually collapse – it remains possible that our country could fall apart in the short-term. Heaven knows the idiots in our useless Establishment seem to be doing everything possible to make that happen. That thought itself should be enough to inspire you to get fighting for the Constitution, using its provisions twice as hard despite the election theft last month, while hedging your bets with a 5.56mm rainy day fund.

Yes, the irony is clear that a guy like me who drew the fussy, femmy ire of the cruise-shilling Fredocon hacks and their cheesy blogs over his best-selling books about America splitting into red and blue nations is saying "Secession no!" Yet I was never a supporter of a national divorce, as tempting as it is to walk out on the libs for a younger, hotter, and less annoying partner. My five conservative action novels are based in a world where the country is ripped in two by the Left, and the latest, "Crisis," takes place as this schism is happening. There’s action and humor, and Eric Swalwell shows up – no, not with some Chi-Com hooker, but definitely with the pungency for which he is renown – but it all looks far too much like real life to be comfortable. My books are a warning, not a how-to manual.

In my books, the Democrats destroy our national bonds through a combination of corruption, arrogance, incompetence, malice, and a transcendent lack of wisdom. Unfortunately, subject to some unlikely electoral deus ex krakena, it appears that we will be subjected to an asterisk-marked Democrat president and an accompanying administration that epitomizes corruption, arrogance, incompetence, malice, and a transcendent lack of wisdom. So, that’s scary.

This destruction has already taken place.

With CCP Territorial Governor Traitor Joe, we are but one or at best two steps behind Hong Kong.  I can see the day where we do as instructed by China, just like Hong Kong.  Not a single bullet need be fired for China to take control of the USA.

It is happening, and Americans are standing watching in disbelief.  A traitor that sold himself to China while VP is soon to become POTUS.  Never imagined this happening in my life.

Our republic is done, and will advance at an accelerate rate if the Democommies win the senate seats.  Nothing short of a French style revolution would save our nation, and we know that will not happen.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

It is now everyone for oneself.  As per the Supreme Court,  a state has no standing to intervene in other states that support fraud by unconstitutional means.

If someone wants to fight us, I believe we can handle them.

We'd might as well giver her a try.....

[Fishrrman]

If an individual state or group of states tries to secede from the eventual United Soviet Socialist States of America, the communists will nuke them before they let them go.

I wouldn't doubt that for a minute.

You mean States like North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming?...(collectively, the world's third largest nuclear power).

Yes, Joe, that's exactly what I mean.

Do you really think those guys in the silos are going to disobey orders sent to them by their DC superiors (even though those superiors will then be controlled by communists)?

I think those guys took an oath:

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

(emphasis mine)
I'm no lawyer, not a JAG, but those orders, under the UCMJ, have to be lawful orders, iirc.
Would they fire on the people (civilian population) they had dealt with?
Would they fire on their brother troops?
I'm not sure they would even fire on the communist enclaves in the US (the ideal of those three).

But the guys in the silos would be pretty hard to root out, too, and one of their best defenses against assault by ground troops would be to launch the bird, letting the backblast from the missile clear the area on top. 

Do I think that in a situation where they were under attack (first strike) they would fail to launch a retaliatory strike against the aggressor--especially if such attack would limit (or eliminate) their response capabilities if they didn't get their bird up?

Food for thought. I have no flippant answers, and I doubt it would be a simple choice for the guys in the silos, either. But I have to wonder if those same questions haven't been through their minds, too.
