[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s going to happen when the next state after Texas leaves? And the one after that? And after that?

When they form a new nation together? What then?

What will the US (what remains of the US, I mean) govt do to stop states from leaving? Will they use force? Won’t that just strength their resolve and encourage more to follow?

You cannot hold groups of disparate peoples together without brutal, crushing force. Iraq, Yugoslavia/The Balkan states, and the old Soviet Bloc was an illustration of this.

Will the government of the remaining US use that kind of force to try and hold the country together? [/quote]

This is a minor point, but I don't think it makes sense to compare Yugoslavia with the USSR. Yugoslavia was not held together with a "brutal, crushing force". Most of the inhabitants of Yugoslavia loved their country and loved each other, regardless of their ethnicity. Today, most people in the Balkans have nostalgia for Yugoslavia, and would gladly return to that happy time if they could. The country was not held together by force; rather, it was ripped apart by force. Milosevic was a horrible leader who encouraged racism and ethno-nationalism, and who did not represent the views of most Yugoslavs. [/quote]
