Para el próximo 8 de septiembre está previsto el viaje del ministro de Economía de Argentina, Luis Caputo, rumbo a Arabia Saudita. El plan de la visita es el de buscar inversiones, pero trascendió que también intentará conseguir un préstamo que le permita levantar el cepo [restricción a la compra de moneda extranjera].
Según publicaron medios locales, Caputo intentará conseguir 10.000 millones de dólares, dinero que serviría como base para la eliminación de las restricciones cambiarias en el país sudamericano. Esta iniciativa surgió luego de la negativa del Fondo Monetario Internacional a destrabar un nuevo giro de dólares.
No obstante, también se indicó que Riad pondrá condiciones para otorgar el dinero. Aunque no hay ninguna confirmación oficial, una de ellas sería que la Embajada argentina en Israel siga en Tel Aviv y no sea trasladada a Jerusalén, tal como prometió el presidente Javier Milei durante su campaña electoral.
El otro pedido sería el de organizar un partido con la selección argentina de fútbol como parte de la promoción de una feria internacional que se va a realizar en 2030. El obstáculo para cumplir esta condición es la pelea entre el Gobierno de Milei y la Asociación del Fútbol Argentino, que se niega a aceptar las Sociedades Anónimas Deportivas, tal como impulsa el Ejecutivo.
El viaje de Caputo también servirá para buscar fondos en el marco del nuevo Régimen de Incentivo a las Grandes Inversiones (RIGI) que permitan desarrollar proyectos de energía, infraestructura y recursos naturales.
Durante su estadía en el país asiático, el ministro se entrevistará con empresarios y representantes del Fondo de Inversión Pública.

if there was a referendum for secession which passed there really wouldn’t be anything the US could do about it. If they sent the military to try to subjugate Texas it would be viewed as an attack on democracy around the world which would immediately result in backlash from other countries and most likely more than 1 star would be coming off the US flag. Even if they did send the military it would likely completely backfire. There’s over 100k active-duty personnel from Texas in the US military. Most of which would not just turn on their home and fight against it.

Late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia set it to rest more than a century later with his response to a letter from a screenwriter in 2006 asking if there is a legal basis for the secession of Texas. The answer is clear, if there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede. (Hence, in the Pledge of Allegiance, ‘one Nation, indivisible.’)”
it’s worth noting the mass exodus of companies from Texas should this ever happen as those companies would no longer be able to trade with the rest of the union,

I was born in San Antonio not far from the Alamo, but I’ve lived in Alabama for over fourth years now. Either way I’ve lived in the deep south for most of my life. I’m a veteran spent 8 years in the Army. When I was young I was definitely into the Civil War and into the what if scenarios of what if the south had won and if Texas had remained an independent republic. Of course the population numbers and other factors such as few railroads or factories or ship building facilities doomed the south from the very beginning. What so many people fail to realize is the south never could have won the war but they could have achieved their independence. Better distribution of the limited resources and a different strategy focused on simply gaining foreign recognition and making it clear it would cost too much for the north to defeat the south that could have been possible. Instead like many civil wars and revolutions the weaker side believed they could win on the field of battle when all that was needed was to get recognized by other nations and to be seen as capable of maintaining their statehood. Texas was an unusual case where a small group of early settlers wanted independence while most later settlers simply wanted to break away from Mexico in order to join the US. After ten years of independence with former US Army Brigadier Albert Sidney Johnston as their secretary of War many men in San Huston’s government filled their pockets with southern gold and pushed to join the US. This led to a short war in 1848 where Mexico was soundly thrashed and Santa Anna forced into exile to secure Texas entry into the US. I myself always preferred the idea of an independent Texas and all the possibilities for future adventures and westward expansion.

I think one of the biggest issues with Texas seceding is that the economy would most likely collapse immediately, as the U.S would most likely not recognize it as a legitimate country, and would probably immediately make moves to take back the state. There would also be internal conflict in Texas, which would lead to instability. These two things would make most large companies not want much involvement with Texas.

Article I of the Texas Constitution says “Texas is a free and independent state”, and, “All political power is inherent in the people and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.”

Under international law Texas could abrogate the treaty of annexation which the United States has been violating. That treaty was upheld in 1959 by the US Supreme Court. And by the way law is not determined ad baculum. Texas could then renegotiate to be something like Canada and England. There is a connection but they are independent countries.

I know the supreme court already ruled on it saying that states couldn’t succeed but i find that weird because it was the original 13 states that created the federal government and they were to follow a set of rules. So initially the individual states had power over the fed and there is a clause stating that should the fed become corrupt and unjust toward the states, they had the ability to break away. I could be wromg about that interpretation though.

Article 1 Section 10 of the United States Constitution does it say a state cannot secede from the Union. Under Article 1 Section 10 of the United States Constitution if the Constitution says a state cannot do something the state can’t do it if the Constitution never mentioned it therefore the state can do it because it wasn’t added into the Constitution.

Texas can’t legally secede from the United States, despite popular myth. While the theme of independence has recurred throughout Texas’s history, it was a republic from 1836 to 1845 before being annexed by the United States. However, the Civil War established that a state cannot secede. Historical and legal precedents make it clear that Texas could not leave the Union — at least not legally. The Supreme Court precedent in Texas v. White holds that states cannot secede from the union by an act of the state. Justice Antonin Scalia further emphasized that “there is no right to secede” based on the constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War. Interestingly, Texas has a quirk of law that allows it to split up into five states without Congress’ approval, based on its admission to the Union in 1845 with a new-states clause. However, this provision does not grant Texas the right to secede entirely. So, while the idea of Texas seceding occasionally resurfaces, the law remains clear: Texas is an integral part of the United States, and secession is not legally valid.
You are right: at least not legally, as a constitutionalist I agree.

Nacional Political Parties are not the owners of the States nor their people.
What I always Say: You are having problems for not understanding what a Federal Form of State means. You have to study and think a lot. Begin with the Constitución.
I am not following…
A federation is a political system in which power is sharedbetween a central government and individual states or provinces.
I have read and study the Constitution. Even before Texas formally rejoined the nation, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that secession had never been legal, and that, even during the rebellion, Texas continued to be a state.
I think there’s a miscommunication issue here. It is important to mention that federalism in other countries adopted a different historical context and is not exactly the same as the North American model of federalism, nor is the constitution of other countries the same as the American one, except South Africa.
Well, countries like Venezuela in 1811, Mexico in 1824, the Central American Federation in 1825, and Argentina in 1826 adopted constitutions directly inspired by the United States Constitution. Moreover, the framers of the Australian constitution were also influenced by the American experience of constitutional amendment and judicial review. However, it’s important to note that while there are similarities, each constitution is unique and reflects the specific historical, political, and cultural context of its country.

democracy is the rule of the people and that rule doesn’t need to respect individual rights. We currently have a bill of rights, which codifies the rights of the people, but doesn’t necessarily limit them. The discussion of freedoms and rights is done in the court. I think we should all agree that rights exist and respect them. If someone wants to alter the rights in the constitution they can do it through congress, and not executive order.

Freedom in America isn’t the freedom to not have to worry about aspects of your life because the government does it for you. Freedom means the freedom of self determination. Do some people take advantage of this freedom to do terrible things to others? Yes. Do some people squander this freedom to drug abuse, homelessness, and poverty? Yes. With that kind of individual freedom there will always be people that don’t make the best of it and that affects the rest of us. The answer to that though is not to call it freedom when the government takes over the reigns, and if she were paying attention to every facet of that kind of “freedom” she would realize that you lose rights and self determination in ways that she doesn’t even realize from the outside looking in.

The republic of Texas, its own country, not a territory, was annexed into the US in 1845. Not suffixed like other US territories into statehood.

Let’s bring it home. Johannes Althusius is considered the father of modern federalism along with Montesquieu. He notably exposed the bases of this political philosophy in Politica Methodice Digesta, Atque Exemplis Sacris et Profanis Illustrata. Montesquieu sees in the Spirit of Laws, examples of federalist republics in corporate societies, the polis bringing together villages, and the cities themselves forming confederations. Federalism in the modern era was first adopted in the unions of states during the Old Swiss Confederacy.
I think there’s a miscommunication issue here.

In the Middle East, they say, “He went Texas” to describe someone who did something crazy.
They r kinda nuts.
Texas is called THE LONE STAR STATE for a reason. People from who travel outside the US will always tell foreigners they’re from Texas rather than America.
Texans, you must remember, you come here to take part, not take over.
Split the 50 states into 50 loosely connected countries under the banner of the USA. No more federal bailouts, no federal oversight, you live and die by your states laws. If you don’t like the state you’re living in people should have more power to vote and change laws/regulations instead of leaving it to politicians bought out by companies
I am not sure Texas would be able to isolate and support itself electrically from the rest of the US. Its already struggling with even the imported power that it currently takes (mostly because its DC links are hugely under capacity needed and outdated at best)
Texas has a power system completely disconnected from the rest of the US
@Raya Murdoch
You gotta remember a year or 2 when it was freezing in Texas and the power wasn’t able to sustain itself.
When Ted Cruz abandoned the state and went to Mexico for a “vacation”
And Ted Cruz remains in office. Crazy!
What a putz. Cruz defended the trip, stating he was trying to be a good dad for his daughters who wanted to escape the cold. Yeah, right, daddy.
The Supreme Court ruled that states can’t unilaterally secede and that the action is unconstitutional. They can’t secede with the act of the state. Secession could be reached by a revolution, or a possible consent of the states. But the Supreme Court says that it’s unconstitutional
No President is going to allow a state to leave, if one leaves, what’s to stop other states from leaving? The United States would be no more.
1.Sell Texas to a foreign power
2.Wait for the entire state to revolt
3. re-annex Texas
4. profit???
Texas can secede but only if it gets its power grid to work
Tx isn’t separated from the US by an ocean & Tx won’t have the french (back when they were a superpower) to back them up. in practice, who would support a texas that declared independance? russia i guess? maybe china? (if either felt like escalating a local conflict into a world war, of course) how well would that go down with texans?
A state seceding from the US would be an incredible turn of history to wittness.
Dont know about Texas, but I cant wait for to have our own private Idaho.
LOL
I believe the declaration of Independence covers this quite clearly… Any state can leave the union. With enough force and violence
Basically how the colonies of America seperated from Britian. If it works, don’t fix it, right?
10th amendment allows any state to secede
