Recently, the topic of "civil war" in the United States has aroused widespread attention, especially the armed confrontation between local ** and US federal ** forces in Texas, which has intensified the tense atmosphere. At the same time, the ** incident at the Texas barracks, which resulted in the death of one soldier and the wounding of another, further increased tensions in the situation. At such a sensitive time, one cannot help but worry about whether a civil war will break out in the United States.
First, we need to understand the reasons for the confrontation between local and federal forces in Texas. This stems from the problem of illegal immigration. Texas is located in the southern part of the United States, bordering Mexico and has a long border. For a long time, a large number of illegal immigrants have infiltrated the United States through this border line. In an effort to curb the flow of illegal immigrants, Texas localities** have set up barbed wire fences along the border and sent National Guard units to patrol day and night. When they detect illegal border crossings, they use force to stop them.
It should be noted that Texas ** acted to protect the interests of its state, but this caused great displeasure in Biden**. Biden demanded that Texas dismantle the barbed wire, but Texas resolutely refused to compromise, resulting in serious conflicts between the two sides and the dispute had to be resolved through legal procedures. Biden submitted the proposal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which passed by a vote of 5 in favor and 4 against. Subsequently, the U.S. federal ** sent a border patrol team to the Texas-Mexico border to dismantle the barbed wire fence built by Texas**.
Texas Governor Abbott did not recognize the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling, and immediately mobilized the Texas National Guard to engage in an armed confrontation with federal law enforcement. On the one hand, they prevented the federal law enforcement team from dismantling the barbed wire, and on the other hand, they reinforced the barbed wire.
The armed standoff immediately attracted global attention, with many fearing whether the United States would descend into civil war. In response, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said, "We believe our actions are constitutional. We have the right to protect our citizens and defend our country. We're just doing our job. ”
The lieutenant governor's "country" may refer to both the United States and Texas, depending on the context and interpretation. In addition, the Texas governor's remarks are also meaningful.
Abbott has been a strong critic of Biden's immigration policy, accusing the United States of undermining the agreements reached between the federal government and the states. According to the law, U.S. states have the right to defend themselves in the event of an "invasion."
There can be different interpretations of this "invasion". It may refer to the "invasion" of Texas by illegal immigrants from abroad, or it may refer to the "invasion" of Texas by U.S. federal law enforcement teams to remove barbed wire. This pun makes the situation even more complex and reflects the multifaceted and complex nature of the issue.
It is worth mentioning that the governor of Texas named this standoff "Operation Lone Star". The meaning of the name is obvious, starting with the American flag. The American flag originally had 13 stars and represented the original 13 states. With the expansion of aggression and purchases, the number of stars on the American flag increased to 50, representing the 50 states of the United States. The so-called "Lone Star Operation" means that if Biden continues to insist on going his own way and goes against the interests of the local government in Texas, then this star may really break away and become a "lone star", and a civil war is about to break out, and the United States is really possible. In addition, there are US lawmakers who have made an even more dangerous proposal for a "state divorce" from Democratic-controlled states with Republican-controlled states. This means that the country is divided into two, with the Democratic and Republican parties each administering their own states, and there may be two more states: the Democratic United States and the Republican United States.
The current situation is quite dangerous, especially considering that Biden's immigration policy has already caused discontent in many states, with a total of 26 states opposing Biden's immigration policy, and Texas is particularly fiercely opposed. At this critical moment, gunshots rang out from the Texas barracks. At the Fort Carvazos military base in central Texas, two soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Army's Third Army reportedly clashed and opened fire on each other, killing one and wounding the other.
Investigations are ongoing by the U.S. Army and on the ground**. It is reported that the two soldiers sparked the clash because of an argument, and there is no evidence that this is related to the current situation.
