Fuckin wild that we’re reading shit like this.
He's not even in office yet and threatening war with Mexico. This is going to be a long 4 years
Didn’t the nazi’s start with their neighbors too?
The Nazis annexed 3 neighbors without even firing a shot.
The US doesn't even have 3 neighbors.

As long as it ends in 4 years. Otherwise it’s going to be much longer and much bloodier

Looking like Mexico will be Trump's Poland.
If things go south here in Ukraine, Poland still has a chance to be Trump's Poland
Think the ML bears will be around to call out genocide?
So funny to me how Lemmy users love beefing with each other. They live in your head rent free. No one even said anything you're just sitting there creating situations in your head like the right wingers you "hate"
I'm pretty sure you're a Lemmy user.
This feels like musk motivation there it must be for lithium in Mexico.
You mean Mr “we’ll coup whoever we want”. Surely not.
If the fucker has 2 brain cells, he'd want a better battery.
Hopefully Mexico won’t announce they found oil or lithium near cartel territories anytime soon.
Mexico doesn't have to announce it. The US is more than happy to make the announcement before them. Evidence includes "Yellow Cake", "WMDs in Iraq", and the fact that our incoming president lies without even thinking at all times.
Mexican president dismisses possible ‘soft invasion’ by U.S. troops as ‘a movie’
Aww, but I've already seen this one. It's called Sicario: Day of the Soldado.
"soft invasion"? Do you mean some kind of "special operation"?
I wonder where these ideas are coming from?
Yeah. Reads like the same shit the CIA has been doing since there’s been a CIA
Any offensive attack against any central or south American country would cause a catastrophic chain of events that would end America as a global power. First it would not only put us at war with every central and South America country but most of the EU and UN nations. South and Central America countries would instantly nullify their anti nuclear weapon agreements. Add in the fact that a large percentage of US citizens have ties to those nation so instantly there would mass unrest in every state. Hell the military wouldn't be able to mobilize enough people willing to kill friends and family for an offensive war.
Personally I think it's high time Mexico accepts some help with their cartel problem. They've literally made zero progress after decades.
That's up to Mexico to decide, gringo. Short your own shit first. Maybe end the stupidity of the war on drugs that caused the cartels to become economically powerful in the first place. Then let's talk.
I think even if the US legalized all drugs today the cartels would still be in business. Human smuggling, human trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, and even avocados! The genie has been out of the bottle for a very long time.
Avocados tell you what the end game is. The cartels are going to use their money hordes to form corporations. Then they will buy out the government to take over Mexican sovereignty. That's how the US "defeated" organized crime.
Flashbacks to the United Fruit Company... Wait, I don't even have to go that far... Flashbacks to Chiquita Brands International.
Ending prohibition ended the reign of that generation of American gangsters though. Beyond that, I'm for a whole bunch of bleeding heart pinko policies. Open borders for example, a Pan-American Schengen.
You do realize cartels and human trafficking groups exist because there's a high demand of that in the USA?

You wanna talk about all those dead politicians or no?
Yeah, all of them were killed with U.S. weapons funded by U.S. money. We need to get our shit together and stop hurting our neighbors.
And if people have questions what I mean, I've said it before, if you want to make America great, it is made up of ~35 countries, independent. Working trade deals, cutting funding from militant or criminal groups such as the cartels everyone brings up and forcing them to economically suffer while supporting our neighbors by redirecting outsourced jobs that are going half way around the world to China to our neighbors in South America. A great example have said before is farming fish. We farm fish in the U.S. ship them to China for packaging and then all the way back to the U.S. for sale. That is a huge hit on the environment and an opportunity to bring jobs to markets and strengthen them in much closer regions. Assist in stabilizing the currencies and economies for our neighbors and we stop any such border crisis. Otherwise we pay an indefinite extremely high cost that prolongs suffering for both us and them. If you want America to be great, start with us earning the respect of those around us and becoming the ally they want to support, not out of fear but out of that respect. Those trade deals allow those countries to stabilize inflation, get control on crime, and become better places to live for their populations. That means stability and no reason to leave their culture behind and flee into a dangerous world of hate many people have fostered. Kill hate with responsible kindness.
Welp, I'm drunk
In case you do, here's a list of dozens of politicians murdered in cold blood this year: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_politicians_killed_during_the_2024_Mexican_elections
Now when you say "sort your own shit first", you don't mean politician murders, correct? Because that seems sorted.

America need some help too. Organized crime in the US just merged with corporations and bought up most of the politicians. Now their crimes are mostly legal.
Wrong, the demand for the illegal drugs is in the USA and you need to cut that off.
Personalmente, espero que no seas yankee
Legalise drugs and you collapse the cartels
As an American, I have no one to support in this escalating conflict.
Would the Mexican MAGAT voters support a US invasion of Mexico?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
