proposal that would establish California as separate nation

[DireWolf]

They secede, we invade. Turn them into a puppet.

Failing to see the downside here.

This would be the only way I'd be for it, along with a "no mercy, no prisoners" approach to reclamation...The idea that we should have to happily part with what is ours without one hell of a fight is bogus, but if they want to leave peacefully or swim into the ocean, well that'd be ok too...

Would be a great way to put a stop to a whole lot of excess carbon emissions (CO2).....
