That's called an invasion and is a violation of international laws.

So when does NATO roll up on our doorstep here to talk about bringing us some freedom?

We are turning into Nazi Germany and I don't fucking like it!

Unilateral US Military Action… in Mexico

That's called an "invasion."

Canada is watching warily. The USA is a threat.

"Special military operation"

[-] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

But I thought he was for peace?

[-] littlebrother@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Seriously.. were gonna do this?

Mark my words.. this will make Vietnam look like a picnic. Without allies we won't stand a chance.

I really wish Mexico retaliates. Because if that's not a declaration of war, I don't know what is.

I guess Trump needs a real war to justify using the Alien Enemies Act.

Putin: Special military operation! My school...

Yeah, about that "no war" lie...

Honestly, Mexico should legalise drugs and setup a legal way to get access to safe drugs and drug rehabilitation programs. If the drug cartels see Mexico as a bigger financial market than the US, illegal exports to the US could nosedive. The cost of illegal exports could be cut down to zero overnight as they could distribute legally in their own country. Surely that'll mean something.

I wonder if the drug cartels would rather go to literal war with the USA or have a legal market and keep out of the USA's hair. They could even enforce a "do not export to the US or we kill you" policy between themselves, because that would be putting their financial investments at risk.

Mexico sells drugs to the US. I don’t think it matters much whether drugs are legalized in Mexico.

If you go to Mexico you won’t see people strung out on drugs running in the middle of traffic like you do in Los Angeles. Using their public transportation I didn’t see people strung out on drugs screaming at everyone.

Umm, have you ever heard of the word 'diversification'? That's what cartels did, and now they control other illegal industries such as prostitution, immigrant smuggling, fuel theft, but also they are expanding onto legal businesses such as tourism, entertainment, food distribution, rehab centers, restaurants, etc. And all that shit is to launder the illegal money they make with the black ops.

I wonder if the drug cartels would rather go to literal war with the USA or have a legal market and keep out of the USA's hair.

The USA has infiltrated some cartels and instead, this resulted in the cartels fighting each other for control on both sides of the border. Is not as easy as you think.

The article literally talks about bombing cartels. If that isn't war, I don't know what is.

[-] admin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Maybe that will work, since they're already bombing each other and using drones for coordinated hitmen attacks.
