    Call his bluff. He just wants to wag his dick around. So mexico should mobilize their army at the border and say “cross this line and you are declaring war.”

    Guaranteed someone up high makes him understand how politically stupid that would be. Probably in pictures. With small words.

    Yeah, this is great. We’re going to (illegally) invade Mexico ane Venezuela simultaneously, while also occupying our own cities that don’t go along the paramilitary immigration Gestapo. Oh, and we’re also waging chaotic, impulsive trade wars with literally every country on Earth. Maybe we can get a ground war going in Russia as well, really speed run the imperial collapse.

      Not to worry. That perfect impenetrable wall that Trump had built during his first term will protect us all from the Mexican army.

    I have honestly been saying this for years. Why are Americans stomping around the Middle East to stop half baked groups of religious insurgents when there are cartels right on their border and inside. We all know this is just posturing, as Americans and the GoP love bombing the Middle East and consuming cartel drugs

      Yeah, I’ve had this thought for a while now. Why not fight the cartels and make Mexico a great place to live. Then we wouldn’t have so many trying to come to the US. It could unironically solve the “immigration problem” if done properly.

    If the cartels turn Trump and his fellow MAGATs into gas station attendants, I wouldn’t mind. They are also welcome to burn down the ballroom.

    He’s not going for cartels, the US supplies cartels with weapons and gives drugs to the US. That’s their cash cow!

    He is going because the political parties the US funds in Mexico are loosing popularity and they need to interfere before it’s too late.

    Oh this won’t go well.

    Cartels don’t… Care about war crimes. Like at all. Like less than Trump.

    These soldiers families are about to be at risk.

    Wild shit to go military on cartels.

      Do you think it would bother Trump if some cartel killers hung corpses from a bridge in the US? It would just allow him to expand his harassment and deportation of Hispanics in the US, give some appearance of legitimacy to a declaration of martial law.

      Didn’t he want to fly families out to surprise his military minions in Afghanistan as well?

      Not too sure how tough the Marines will be when their kids start disappearing.

    So like the same situation with those fishing boats? Just going to go and kill a bunch of people without a trial and claim they were cartels. ?

    How are they already bored with invading our own cities? I’m not saying that I endorse any of this shit-show, but can we please just leave our neighbors alone?

        Yes, but that was BEFORE he soft-launched martial law against cities that vote against him. Deploying troops is a huge escalation over threats and emboldens his administration while desensitizing us to his horrors.

        The last I heard, we’ve now murdered 10 boatsful of Venezuelans. I don’t even know if that number is accurate because I’ve been too busy to really catch up on all of our current atrocities. The last I’d heard before that number was 3.

        The point is, we’re getting to the point that we’d shrug at following through on a foreign invasion. What I’m saying is that while we’re now watching our fearless leader make good on bad promises, let’s keep a Mexican invasion categorized under TACOs. If we start threatening to force our way north, then you’ll get to see how much worse my French is than my Spanish.

          You could take a look at the article in order to catch up: “If authorized, the planned missions would represent a significant escalation in Trump’s ongoing series of attacks against he has claimed to be drug cartel operations, which include at least 15 strikes against alleged drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean and western Pacific Ocean.”

          Up to 15 strikes it looks like.

            No.

            But you’re right, I probably should have read it before responding. I was immediately reactionary.
