I imagine that the idea of peaceful dissolution was unimaginable in Russia in 1989 too. As these $1T interest payments start to stack up, the gap between what the feds will allow and what they are capable of stopping is going to widen.

They'll lack human capital as well. Half the military will defect. Most fighting men in this country will be on the side of States rights this time, and the feds will be left with an army of mostly sissies and faggots.
I have some retired military in my family. If they’re an indication, you’re correct. Neither is a “patriot” for the fed. The feds will be left with an army equal in size and slightly inferior to the army that will defect? lol. 😁
