It's time to deploy special forces, mainly because California is too special.
California's GDP accounts for 15% of the total U.S. economy.
Let's put it this way: if California were independent, its economic scale would surpass that of the UK and India, ranking just behind the U.S., China, Germany, and Japan, making it the fifth largest economy in the world with just this one state. The tax revenue that the U.S. gets from California is an enormous figure.
Silicon Valley gathers giants like Google and Apple, and the capital dominated by financial tycoons cannot collapse in California, plus there is Hollywood and other film and television industries.
California has a population of 40 million, still the largest in the U.S.
A riot in California is equivalent to someone stabbing a knife into the heart of America, so of course, the U.S. would be anxious.
