What is stopping the rest of the nation from using nuclear weapons to completely annihilate Texas?
Who is this "rest of the nation"??? If it refers to me in any way, then I WILL.
I do not endorse the use of nuclear weapons on Texas.
But if Texas was fighting the union, wouldn’t the union use the weapons necessary to win?
Per your logic, it is unlawful by the supreme law of the land (treaties) to explode nukes in the atmosphere.
To be practical, it's logistically stupid, and politically stupid, and no one will follow that command.
You aren't getting the 'consent of the governed' part of government.

Why do you think the US would use nukes on Texas? Didn’t use them in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan. any one of which would had gotten more support than nuking fellow North Americans.Another thing to think about is the fact that most of the strategic petroleum reserves are in the salt domes here in Texas. The US wouldn’t want to blow that up, for a number of reasons. My personal opinion, there wouldn’t be a war at all. Lots of people running their mouth,and in the end they’d give Texas it’s sovereignty. For one thing, it isn’t like the whole rest of the country would be against us. What about Oklahoma, Kansas, Arizona, Wyoming, and several others? They might stay in the US for the time being, but they’d be mostly sympathetic with Texas. It would be a real mess for awhile, but freedom is always worth it.I’m getting a little old, but if I knew that this could be a better place for my daughter, and she wouldn’t have to pay half her earnings to support some welfare momma squirtin’ out 2 kids a year, or giving special benefits to some dude who wants to make love to another dude’s exhaust pipe, it just might be all worth it.
