Imagine thinking that force is necessary to secede.
Force is only necessary to prevent secession.
States secede, and then the nation decides whether to respond. If they decide to respond, then the military (individually) decide where their loyalties lie.
If the seceding states control resources of real value (oil, farm fields, livestock) then the world will trade with them. The south failed last time because they believed having a near-monopoly on one asset (cotton) was enough to outweigh being overmatched in terms of food, mining, factories, and people. Economically, the south was dead the second they seceded.
This time, it's the blue states that bring nothing to the table, the manufacturing belt is in ruin because of China.

Sanctions?
Sanctions?
Dude, a third of the US money issued in the history of this country was printed LAST YEAR and you care about sanctions?
Sanctions on monopoly money are a joke.
