I agree with your headline premise, but ...
> In fact, should Texas ever actually secede from the Union they would very quickly find out exactly how much our enemies dislike us.

Ok, I'll bite. Who is threatening the USA, or would if the USA's military was the same size as Canada's?
That is demonstrably false.
In fact, should Texas ever actually secede from the Union they would very quickly find out exactly how much our enemies dislike us.
Hard to believe someone actually typed that sentence.
