I love how you already talk like Texas is separated "you do...." it's not us doing anything it is the Federal govt that does stuff.

Blackmailing.

Blackmail - a form of debate that has the threat of violence or negative repercussions behind it

And if anything, it's extortion, not blackmail.

Extorion and Blackmail are essentially the same thing

Its diplomacy, cuz you can lose your sovereignty if you make the wrong decision.

Actions have consequences.

Blackmail is usually related to non-physical threats, extortion is usually associated with physical violence.

Connotation vs. Dictionary definition.

But yes, it is really diplomacy.

it is not

If you don't make the right trade deals, bad things happen.

All sovereign nations on earth have to consider that.

If we were to threaten to come take everything from you, yes it's extortion. By simply saying you need external aid that you need to form alliances to recieve, it does not threaten anything but your hard-headedness.

And by "we" I mean the Feds.

now if it were an alliance and trade deals, im open for that, but what was being argued earlier was a formation of a Union, which is a form of a Federation type of government, that Texas should be a part of

Texas, last I checked, has a big role in the Federal govt.

A type of Confederate Union?

We already tried that.

Yeah, and Georgia was burned down.

That damn Sherman

and no i do not want a confederate union, i only want a free and independent Republic of Texas, that has an economic and military alliance with other nations, such as the nation that would form if the South secedes or with Mexico, or hell even with Uganda

I think there's already an unoffical "arrangement" with Mexico.

Except that you would piss all of them off by referring to Diplomatic Relations as Blackmail.

Got it.

Dangit @Lynx, we're having a civil debate here. 😆

Maybe not so civil...

Nah, we were blackmailing Texas with promises of repercussions from poor diplomatic ties.

I'm not sure what you're discussing, I just wanted to express how silly I thought what was being said inside the meme is

I was actually just making a joke. It really is stupid what they said about Helen Keller.

Just a lil bit of Foreign Relations

With a "nation" not yet foreign.

Yes I know I am reposting this but my uncle who is a Biden supporter (he married in) he asked me what Biden is supposed to do to stop corona saying that Biden has to take our freedoms to save our lives so I asked him this “what is the point of having a life if it is not free” he actually shut up which is the first time that happened

Hold up, was this drawn in the future?
Maybe the world doesn't end in 2020 or 2021.

The world ended in 2012 but nobody noticed because we were put in the matrix afterwards

I just tried the Konami code and nothing happened, this can't be a video game scenario.

Interesting thought lol.

It's 2020, Time Travel is par for course at this point

Just because the wrong date is on it?
I’ve made bigger mistakes then that writing dates on stuff.
Hell I may or may not have misspelled my own on tests before.
That doesn’t mean matrix or time travel.
BTW does crossing a state line and going ahead or behind by and hour count as time travel?
Asking for a future friend?

The Asians and Europeans could've warned us about 9/11 but they didnt

Smh

@TheSeventhSeal ur meme with biden isn't in English the mods will delete it and put a warn on u for that. Might want to just delete it and save urself the warn.
