    Fighting now will spare many. Because the right are still of a moral level where restraint can be exercised. Wait 10 15 years and it will be savagery.

    Yes, there were those who made strides, though saying the Reds liberated anybody is gross abuse of language.

    And I'm not saying that there is an exact correlation, just that America is extremely advantageous to Jews, whereas Europe is less so, including the former Soviet Union and Russia.

    America, land of the free, home of the brave, where Jews are white and males are circumcised.

    Texas is the 9th largest economy in the world, would be fine as its own nation.
    Texas leaving would hurt the US much more than hurt Texas.

    TX Economy | Texas Economic Development Corporation.

    Workforce to industry base, Texas’ sheer size makes it an unrivaled powerhouse in the global economy.

    In fact, if it were a country, Texas would be the 9th largest economy in the world, ahead of Australia, Mexico, Spain and Russia. Companies continue to flock to the Lone Star State to tap into the nation’s second-largest civilian workforce of 14 million, world-class infrastructure with international access by land, sea and air, and more. It’s no wonder that Texas is the leading state for GDP, exports, population growth and job creation.

    Regardless of whether you like it or not, the Red Army did liberate camps. The people in the camps had been shipped there from all over Europe, so many did not stay there. In fact, the commander of the Russians that liberated my mother's family's camp suggested that the people who were liberated needed to flee, since the occupation forces coming behind them were going to take vengeance on everyone they found. My mother's family went to Austria, since they were of Austrian descent.

    Jews started becoming "white" only after World War II.

    The occupation forces to take revenge was the Russian army, and they did, but mostly on the Germans.

    Then let them be their own nation.

    If they have an economy which is independent of the United States and can maintain that economy as a competitor to the US then I say let them have their independence. Pull out all US bases and let the world know they are fair game.

    I imagine many would like that who are Texans. No one is going to attack Texas as in a war if they were their own nation.

    I think so....at least until they fall to Mexico (who, as a nation, is far superior). We'd just have to alter the wall a bit. :Laugh

    Mexico is a failed state of narco gangs.

    Mexico is at war with itself, wont be fighting Texas.

    Texas as an independent nation would be more better. They do not have the resources to defend themselves.

    That is why I say let them go. The US can conquer then in a day and make them a territory. Exploit their resources and sell the traitor to Mexico with a good plan for the Gulf.

    I doubt it would just be Texas by itself, I think other red states would join with Texas. The balkanization of the US has been going on for years now, and just is getting worse.
    It seems to have strengthened under Obama and his bad for America nation policies.

    Try visiting Dade County (Miami, FL).
    We don’t even have one language any more.

    I doubt it. None of the red states are red enough. People have moved around too much. If TX rebels it will be quickly defeated and we'd just have a new group of immigrants trying to get in.

    I dont know. In the past I may have agreed, but looking at the larger cities in the states I would have linked to TX, I just do not think the power to help will be there.
