Recently, there have been many calls within the Democratic Party for Biden to solve the "Texas issue" toughly, and to send US military troops to suppress it, and even "federalize" the state's National Guard. If this is done, it is likely to trigger a "constitutional crisis" in the United States.
Recently, the civil strife between the U.S. federal government and Texas has become one of the focus of international attention, and Texas even waved the skull banner of Wagner, is it really like "marching into Washington, D.C." as said on the Internet?
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Texas' construction of a border barrier to prevent migrants from entering was "illegal." The matter was strongly opposed by Texas Governor Abbott, who not only refused to remove the barrier, but also mobilized the local National Guard to confront federal law enforcement officers at the state border. There is also an update on the standoff.
After 26 Republican governors publicly expressed their support for Texas Governor Abbott, the Biden administration canceled all LNG projects in Texas, which means that the Biden administration has used economic measures to put pressure on Texas for the first time.
In the past few years, I have never heard the United States sanction other countries, but this time the United States has engaged in self-sanctions, and the federal government has imposed sanctions on state governments, but this kind of sanction will obviously only add fuel to the fire.
In the past two days, various dangerous signals have appeared on American social media. For example, the Texas National Guard has been photographed transporting M1 main battle tanks and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles to the state border, while the skull flag of Wagner, Russia's famous mercenary group, has been raised in Texas.
This series of moves has been supported by a large number of American public opinion, of course, these supporters are either not a big deal to see the excitement, or they are supporters of the Republican Party and Trump. If the Biden administration is unwilling to compromise, Texas may mobilize the National Guard, just as Wagner launched last year's "March of Justice" to Moscow, marching all the way from Texas to Washington, D.C.
In order to prevent emergencies, the Biden administration has also begun to deploy U.S. troops to the Texas border to show how seriously it is taking the situation. You must know that the US National Guard is not an ordinary local security force, but a regular army force subordinate to the states, and it can be seen from the fact that the Texas National Guard can be equipped with main battle tanks, as well as infantry fighting vehicles, which are heavy weapons, and there is no generation difference between the heavy weapons and equipment of these National Guard and the US Army.
In the face of increasingly tense tensions at the Texas border, Biden's nemesis Trump's reaction is also quite interesting.
Trump, as Biden's biggest enemy in the 2024 election, naturally wants to take the opportunity of this situation in Texas to give Biden a hard kick. Therefore, from the beginning of the standoff, Trump attacked the federal government with what happened in Texas and accused Biden of allowing foreign immigrants into the United States as a "crime."
Trump later promised that if he was re-elected president of the United States, he would launch the largest "refugee deportation" operation. It can be said that Trump is the fisherman who benefited from this Texas incident, not only does not need to bear any responsibility, but only needs to oppose Biden to gain the support of a large number of "red neck" groups.
In addition to internal U.S. sources, Russia's response to the incident was rather tongue-in-cheek, with Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova posting on social media that President Biden should form an international coalition to "liberate Texas," as his predecessor Barack Obama did.
The historical background of this meme is that in 2011, then-US President Barack Obama said "Assad must go" in response to the Syrian issue, demanding that Syrian President Bashar Obama must step down.
Not only Russia, but I believe that the mood of many countries in the world at the moment is similar to the "melon-eating masses". On the one hand, everyone believes that the confrontation between Texas and the federal government will end peacefully.
On the other hand, with the new crown epidemic and the "Capitol Hill incident" in recent years, the image of the beacon of democracy in the United States has long been no longer glorious, and it seems that public opinion is far more shocked by the state of mind than the Texas incident. To put it bluntly, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and not everywhere in the United States is good.
On the whole, the most embarrassing and embarrassing people in the Texas incident are obviously Biden and the Democratic Party. Recently, there have been many calls within the Democratic Party for Biden to solve the "Texas issue" toughly, and to send US military troops to suppress it, and even "federalize" the state's National Guard.
If the federal government shows any signs of using force to solve the problem, it is likely to cause a constitutional crisis in the United States, and all states in the United States will fear that they will follow in the footsteps of Texas, and then consider whether to support Texas, or even openly oppose the federal government.
Judging from the news reported by the US media, the Biden administration is more inclined to solve the problem through compromise, and President Biden has said that if the Senate can pass the emergency authorization bill, he will immediately close the US-Mexico border.
From this statement, it can be seen that Biden obviously wants to exchange the immigration issue for the support of the Republican Party on other issues. We will continue to see whether the two parties can reach a compromise on the Texas incident, and what kind of impact it will have on the upcoming US election.
