    What??

    This wasn’t a random place, it’s a fucking beach with people who go there routinely…

    What “great lengths” did you think it would take to determine which side of Trump’s ridiculous fence this was on?

    You think people that live and work right next to the border, are unsure about where the border is?

    You think it’s something you can accidentally wander across?

    Mexico knew that beach was theirs, but when pushed they said it might be instead of saber rattling that America just tried to seize a fucking landinghead

      The border is really big, and not all of it is fenced. It’s definitely possible to accidentally cross it.

      Not saying that’s what happened here, though.

      You’re making a mountain out of a molehill.

      Mexico waffled nothing. They removed the signs. The statement of believe or not isnt consequential.

        You think a hostile nation’s military headed by a demented narcissist showing up on another country’s sovereign soil and placing signs that it belongs to a different country…

        Is a molehill?

        Buddy, if you don’t understand why something is serious, I’d highly advise you to ask questions instead of loudly proclaim it’s not a big deal

          The molehill is your focus on the word believe

          The serious part is the US just waltzing into a foreign country planting signs and Mexico removing them

            The molehill is your focus on the word believe

            If I walked up and took a sandwich out of you hand and ate, would you say:

            I believe that’s my sandwich

            And expect me to give it back? Or anyone to help you?

            Or do you think:

            You just stole my sandwich

            Would be more effective?

            You’re acting like this is one isolated incident with zero consequences…

            And I readily admit, I over estimate people’s critical thinking abilities, but it seems very clear with how Israel and Russia treat borders, and how chummy with them trump is, that this could very likely be the start of the same behavior.

            But like I said, I often think shit is ridiculously obvious just to find out other people just can’t connect the dots.

            I’ll never understand why people get so belligerent instead of just asking questions till they understand.

            Can you at least tell me why you didn’t want to ask questions when you ran into something you didn’t understand?

            It’s a widespread issue, and I legitimately want some insight into your choices here.
