Texas is the largest state in the southern United States and the second largest state in the United States, after Alaska, with an area of 6960,000 square kilometers, 10% larger than France.
If Texas were to become a country, it would be the 40th largest country in the world, slightly behind Morocco but larger than Myanmar.
It can be said that Texas has the land area to become a country.
In addition to the vast area, the economy of Texas, which is also quite awesome!
In the 2023 ranking of world countries in terms of economy**, the eighth place Italy is 2$18 trillion, so what is the GDP of Texas? 2.$5 trillion. As a state of the United States, it is more than the country of Italy, and even a little weaker than a large country like France. With such economic strength as a backing, why fear?
If it's just an economic cow, Texas is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that other aspects of Texas are not ordinary cattle. In addition to being the second in terms of area, the population is also the second, and the most enviable thing is that the natural environment of Texas is simply not too good. It is located in the southern part of the United States, belongs to the lower latitudes, and has temperate climate zones and ** zones; There are spring flowers blooming facing the sea, and there are also vast plains as far as the eye can see. With such a unique natural environment, Texas is not the largest agricultural state in the United States, and it is sorry for God's gift.
Is it just agriculture strong? strong, Texas' oil and gas resources are even more coveted by other states. According to the data, Texas produces one-third of the oil and gas produced in the United States, which means that Texas really has a mine or a mine thief. Agriculture is strong and there are many resources, this is not a stupid son of a proper landlord's family, just like Australia and Brazil, you can live a happy life by eating resources.
Not ......Texas talents don't be stupid sons of landlords, they are involution young people who pursue and dream, and they are very persistent in manufacturing.
You look at the ...... HoustonThat's right, the Houston Rockets ......Yao Ming's team. It is this Houston that has the largest space center in the United States, where almost all the major space launches in the United States take place.
We know Silicon Valley, where many world-renowned high-tech companies are gathered. In fact, Austin, Texas is not inferior to Silicon Valley, and it also has many well-known high-tech companies, such as: Dell, IBM, Intel, AMD, Motorola, Freescale, ......
It can be said that the territory is large, the population is large, the economy is strong, the food is abundant, and the energy is still rattling. Of course, these are just confidence, if you don't have the guts, no matter how strong your strength is, you will fight and scold the street, and you may not be able to scold others.
Texas is not an addictive character, it really dares to do it!
Originally a Mexican state, Texas became independent from Mexico in 1836 and existed as an independent state for nine years between the United States and Mexico before being incorporated into the United States in 1845. When the Civil War broke out in the United States in 1861, Texas saw that the opportunity had come, and immediately negotiated with several other states in the United States to secede from the United States. It's just that in 1865, they didn't fight the United States, and they got it back, but the Texans thought in their hearts that they had been deceived by the United States, or that they had been invaded and annexed by the United States, so they did not recognize themselves as part of the United States, and they always wanted to be their former selves, to be their own independent republics.
So as soon as the United States was in a bit of a turmoil, Texas felt that its opportunity for independence had come.
To tell the truth, how many times Texas has made a fuss about independence, it is impossible to count, anyway, it is every three or five times, and Texans are uncomfortable if they don't make trouble. In less than 30 years, Texas has not stopped: in December 1995, Texas established the Republic of Texas and formulated a constitution; There was trouble in 2013, there was trouble in 2016, and the trouble in 2019 has not stopped until now.
In addition to the fact that Texans are eager for independence, there is another reason, that is, Texas was originally an independent country that joined the United States, so Texas' autonomy is very high. While other states have the most independent judiciary, Texas is not, a state that is constitutionally recognized as having the right to independence, and it has not only the National Guard, but also several military bases.
It is to swear allegiance, and Texans are not loyal to the United States, but to the Texas flag. is such a group of people, how obedient he can be, and he can't wait to be independent sooner.
What's even more terrifying is that the people of Texas are fierce, according to statistics, every Texan has at least 6 rifles and uncountable ammunition, and even more than 30,000 machine guns are prohibited from possession in other states, with an average of one machine gun for every 700 people. With this strength, Texas can form an army that can directly go to the battlefield at any time.
You say, a Texas with money and people who are still so strong, it doesn't want independence, who else in the United States dares to fight for independence?
The old boy of Biden didn't know what to think, and he dared to come hard with Texas.
Texas asks you: Are you afraid? I'm scared of the air, and I'm still afraid of you Biden?
