In the eyes of US politicians, various think tanks, and the media, the "imaginary enemies" of the United States include China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, and they all consider this to be the biggest obstacle to US hegemony. The bigger nightmare is that since the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, China, Russia, North Korea and Iran have come closer and begun more frequent and closer strategic cooperation. However, compared with this alliance, the United States obviously has more headaches, and suddenly there is another biggest enemy.
Recently, "American Civil War" has become the most discussed keyword in the United States. The United States and Texas have a huge conflict because of the border policy, and Texas fences the border with barbed wire because of the huge social problems caused by illegal immigration, but Biden is very lenient with the illegal immigration policy and has the Supreme Court order Texas to remove the barbed wire. Texas is also being forced to be anxious, because more than 225,000 illegal immigrants crossed the border in December last year alone, causing serious social security problems.
The U.S. military and the Texas National Guard faced off militantly, and the Texas governor declared a "state of emergency," emphasizing that the right to self-defense took precedence over federal law. The Biden administration said that if Texas does not implement the SPC order, there will be serious consequences. Subsequently, the approval for LNG exports was cancelled outright, and Texas is the largest LNG exporter in the United States, which is clearly threatening Texas. And Texas is not alone, there are already 25 Republican states opposing Biden's immigration policies, sending the National Guard to support Texas, at least 400 Humvees, 72 M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and 48 M109 self-propelled howitzers sent to Texas.
In addition to these supports, Texas itself is an important military industry and aerospace town. Texas is the second largest state in the United States, with a well-developed military industry, science and technology, and aerospace, and a very rich variety of industries. The two largest army facilities in the United States, the headquarters of the National Space Administration, as well as the factory where Loma manufactures F-35 and F-22, as well as Raytheon and other arms factories are all in Texas. The "red state" represented by Texas itself is full of martial virtues, and almost all of the weapons that the US military has in their hands are available to the National Guard. And this matter is not just like before, this time the United States suddenly announced that the Middle East base was attacked and killed 3 people, and it was attacked more than 100 times before without sound, and this sudden announcement is most likely to divert the attention of Texas, you can imagine how much pressure the Texas affair is this time.
Some people will question that they can't make trouble, after all, they have seen the combat effectiveness of the "red neck" in the previous "Capitol Hill incident", and it is not once or twice that they pull their hips. To be honest, I also don't think the so-called "civil war" can be fought, because at the moment they are still enjoying the huge benefits brought by US hegemony. However, there are already signs of rebellion and secession, and regardless of success or failure, the occurrence of one occurrence shows that the mutual trust between the central government and the local government has reached an irreparable level. The contradictions between the state and federal governments are becoming more and more prominent, and as long as the Democrats still want votes, the immigration problem cannot be resolved, and the contradictions will become more and more exacerbated. In fact, for the United States, the biggest enemy is not China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, but the internal rift that cannot be bridged. Because of this rift, it will eventually lead to secession and destruction.
