🇺🇸🪖 Secessionist sentiments in the United States, measured by polling in 2021.

Of note, the Southern States have a majority of Republicans and almost a majority of Independents in favor of Secession.

🇺🇸📚 160 Years Ago, the Battle of the Wilderness

Scarce had we moved a step when General Lee, in front of the whole command, raised himself in his stirrups, uncovered his grey hairs, and with an earnest, yet anxious voice, exclaimed above the din and confusion of the hour, “Texans always move them!”

Never before in my lifetime or since, did I ever witness such a scene as was enacted when Lee pronounced these words, with the appealing look that he gave. A yell rent the air that must have been heard for miles around, and but few eyes in that old brigade of veterans and heroes of many a bloody field was undimmed by honest, heart-felt tears.

Leonard Gee, a courier to General Gregg, and riding by my side, with tears coursing down his cheeks and yells issuing from his throat exclaimed, “I would charge hell itself for that old man.”

🇺🇸 🦅 Nothing more starkly divides Americans than guns. Handing gun owners their wet dream (second only to red dawn), does nothing but energize the militant right and convert others to join them. 

The firearm manufacturing base is in red states where we're already seeing companies cut off blue states from supply, including law enforcement and state agents. Blue State locals have also refused gun grabs outside of major cities.

There is a surge in first-time gun owners spurred by the common threat environment in America today. Something akin to South Africa, where the population lives in different centuries simultaneously.

Arresting peaceful Americans won't suppress them, it just creates more men with nothing left to lose.

🇺🇸🪖 ⚡️🇺🇸 The United States increasingly seems to be sleep walking into a crisis the likes of which it has not seen since the late 1850s…

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Covering a group of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers with a VOG dropped from a quadcopter in the Kupyansk direction.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 A Ukrainian activist from Zhitomir describes one of the everyday days of the counter-offensive of the 47th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces: 13 killed, 63 wounded.

Let us add on our own behalf that in mid-August an airstrike was carried out on the headquarters of the 47th Infantry Brigade, after which the brigade suffered greatly in terms of coordination and organization.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️The FSB, during a clash on our territory, captured saboteurs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, their task was to undermine the power line near a nuclear power plant in order to disrupt the activity of the power plant - Putin

🇷🇺🇺🇦❗️Putin: The DRG from Ukraine was supposed to undermine the power lines, this is not the first such attempt, during interrogation they admitted that they were trained by instructors from the UK

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Khokhols Walking on mines. Judging by the screams, our sappers did a good job in these bushes.

🇺🇦🇵🇱❗️Kiev intends to appeal to the World Trade Organization against the backdrop of Poland’s statements about a ban on the import of Ukrainian grain

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The moment of destruction of the CAESAR wheeled self-propelled gun on the Tatra T815 chassis.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Arrival of the FPV copter on the M2 Bradley ODS-SA infantry fighting vehicle in Zaporozhye.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 A drone of the Marines of the 40th Pacific Fleet brigade filmed an unsuccessful rotation of more than a dozen Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers near Novomayorsky .

The British MRAP Mastiff landed the Ukrainian Armed Forces infantry and immediately took another group for evacuation. The artillery and tank of the 40th brigade worked along them all the way, after which the Mastiff, loaded to the brim with enemy infantry, ran over a mine or fell under the target of artillery.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukrainian Prime Minister Shmygal publicly admitted the failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces offensive and said that the West was to blame for this, which did not provide enough money and resources. But if he had given even more, then the Armed Forces of Ukraine would have been shown to everyone.

The period of public excuses for failure begins.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Poland officially refused to allow Ukrainian grain into its territory after September 15, despite demands and threats from Brussels. Elections are around the corner.
Thus, Russia blocks grain exports from Ukraine through ports, and Poland through its territory.

Russia and Poland are a reliable barrier to Ukrainian exports! 😀😀😀

🇺🇸 Marjorie Taylor Greene Says States Should ‘Consider Seceding From the Union’

🔶️ In February, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called for a “national divorce” between red and blue states. Now, she’s taking her call for a schism even further by encouraging states to outright “consider seceding from the union.”

🔶️ On Monday, Greene (R-Ga.) wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that “if the Biden admin refuses to stop the invasion of cartel led human and drug trafficking into our country, states should consider seceding from the union.”

🔶️ “From Texas to New York City to every town in America, we are drowning from Biden’s traitorous America last border policies,” Greene added.

🔶️ Months ago, Greene suggested that a “national divorce,” rather than, say, a democratic form of governance, was needed to remedy the disputes between Republican and Democratic states. “From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done,” Greene said at the time.

🔶️ The most notable attempt at secession in U.S. history is, of course, that of the 11 southern Confederate states who split from the union in an attempt to stave the abolition of slavery in their territories. The Confederacy was handily defeated in the Civil War. Yet, some modern-day Republicans have begun to view secession as a favorable alternative to actually doing the job of representative governance.

🔶️ In March, Texas Republicans introduced a bill that would place a referendum for the state’s secession from the United States on the 2024 ballot. The measure would allow Texans to vote on “whether or not the State should investigate the possibility of Texas independence, and present potential plans to the Legislature.”

🔶️ Greene’s repeated calls for succession have not gone unnoticed by her colleagues in the House. “I have a news flash Marjorie, Seceding didn’t go so well for y’all last time. You would know that if your side READ books instead of banning them. Section 3 says levying war against the U.S. is treason,” tweeted Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.).

🇺🇸📚 Why does the Civil War continue to animate the Politics of the American South?

“Southerners lost a catastrophic war, which, if it occurred today, would count 8.7 million dead and 10 million wounded, only glorifies and enshrines in the annals of human history, the courage of Southerners and their commitment to democracy, self-government, the Founding Fathers, and especially the Declaration of Independence with its assertion that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
