Texas Follows Ukraine

 Texas is deploying the guard because NATO lost in Ukraine.

 I find this extremely stupid. Texas could have deployed the guard before Ukraine, but was too much of a pussy. Craven. Naturally Yemen (probably funded by Iran) getting uppity is due to the same thing. "He tripped! Get him!"

 Nevertheless, it is what it is. It is true the Empire can never show weakness, as the craven will immediately jump on it when they do. There is never a shortage of cowards, so...
 Even if there could be, Empire is a pro-coward dysgenics project. Given that, it was rational for the Empire to fight so hard to keep Ukraine. Naturally, Oklahoma and Arkansas and Virginia and so on wouldn't have stood with Texas without Ukraine, because they're all likewise craven. Texas had to wait for the bat signal, so to speak.

 Of course it wasn't rational to provoke Russia.
 It was especially irrational to refuse to deploy the regular army, given they were provoking Russia.

 Nor was it rational to form an Empire in the first place. Having an Empire makes your Empire ever less secure. 

 

 Note that just as there was essentially no chance of WWIII, you can know solely by the fact all the peasants are screeching about a civil war, there is essentially no chance of a civil war. For now, the swamp is far more craven than stupid, and they would have to make some incredibly stupid moves to get a civil war. Maybe in a few decades they would have been more stupid than dastardly. If Texas seceded today, DC would just let it go. Not because it wants to, exactly, but because it would trip over its own feet from panic. Remember they couldn't even meaningfully quarantine individuals during what was thought to be a pandemic - the "lockdowns" wouldn't have done anything if the citizens hadn't already been autoquarantining. They certainly can't lock Texas inside if Texas doesn't want to stay. 

 Seems to me someone provoked the Biden Kingdom (Biden is not and has never been the king) into decapitating themselves with Ukraine but forgot about the anti-Empire blowback. Not that they care, really. If the US gets into real trouble they'll retire to Beijing.
 Though never forget the world is just: they may be able to retire to Beijing, but it will never stop being the case that only pedophiles will respond to their birthday party invitations. They want to destroy your family because they don't and can't have one of their own. 

 I expect the Biden mafia don was tricked into thinking Ukraine vs. Russia would go the way Gaza vs. Israel is going. There's no way Israel should lose to Gaza, but their society is so brittle that the shock has resulted in fracturing and splintering. Sadly for the Biden mafia, turns out Russia is basically a functioning country, at least as far as such things go. "War sucks," Russians say, "Well, anyway..."

 Given this result, I think if Canada or Mexico attacked America today, America would lose. Yes, they would do horrific damage to the aggressor just as Israel has killed infinity Gazans. Wouldn't remotely be worth it. However, America can no longer handle the stresses of war - not even a war it's technically winning. It would break before it knew what hit it.
