This was no mistake.  It was a test.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 36 points 9 months ago

Like how Russia tested Ukraine?

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 47 points 9 months ago

Like how Russia is testing the rest of the EU right now.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Everyone except Turkey who just blew their jets right out of the goddamn sky and said “crossing our airspace without permission is a no.” No accidental incursions there anymore

How the foxtrot do you accidentally invade Mexico? What they mean is they committed another act of abuse and then said they didn't mean it

[-] ms_lane@lemmy.world 58 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Militaries accidentally invade each other all the time.

Usually, they back right out and let the other country know, they don't use boats to get around visible border controls and plant a sign in other country though.

[-] BanMe@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

The article claims that changes in water lines resulted in altered perceptions of the border line. As if international borders are hallucinogenic in some way? IDK

[-] TheMinister@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago

Sorry to tell you, but international borders absolutely are hallucinations. Grant you, not hallucinogenic, but they’re absolutely flights of fancy.

[-] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

It's well known that changes in water lines make GPS completely inoperable. This could happen to any wealthy and powerful nation's military.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 11 points 9 months ago

Narcissist prayer all day, every day.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Consider we're just not that bright?

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

"¡Solo fue una broma, hermano!"

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 103 points 9 months ago

That's about 20 miles south of the border. And the only reason to approach by boat would be because you couldn't do it from land, because you'd be stopped.

[-] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 86 points 9 months ago

In this day and age of GPS, there's no excuse for them to be in another FREAKIN COUNTRY. Just complete morons.

[-] yakko@feddit.uk 33 points 9 months ago

They are morons for following illegal orders. Modern GPS can practically tell when you leaned over to fart, we cannot assume this was accidental.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

A fucking garmin watch could tell you when you’re across the border, Daggers have access to an entire other satellite network for even more precise location that civilians cannot use so they have less than zero excuse for positioning.

"mistakenly" wink wink

Not an honest mistake, not under this regime

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 30 points 9 months ago

Oh, turns out that wall isn’t very effective after all huh?

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 29 points 9 months ago

How the fuck did they not get arrested?

[-] Pistcow@lemmy.world 35 points 9 months ago

Shoot them in the fucking face next time

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 9 months ago

Probably by having lots of guns and Mexico not wanting to start the Second Mexican-American war.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

Trump's deal with the devil for immunity from all consequences

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 27 points 9 months ago

Mexico should have arrested all those illegal aliens and then deported them to North Korea.

[-] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Have at them cartels. I ain't seen shit.

[-] monis@ttrpg.network 11 points 9 months ago
[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

¡Cuidado!

Cruce de tortugas.

[-] Technoworcester@feddit.uk 12 points 9 months ago
[-] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 12 points 9 months ago

Military incompetence, or international threat, either way you know the decision is being made at the top.

[-] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Will Trump is both incompetent and an international threat so that checks out

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Actually a mistake, or doing exactly what russia fucking does and testing boundaries and responses, and then going oops! ??

[-] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago

Just do what Poland or Turkey would do if Russia "accidently" flies a plane into their airspace

[-] Alenalda@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Remember the Alamo?

[-] tangeli@piefed.social 4 points 9 months ago

Canada's next. Or maybe Greenland.

[-] monis@ttrpg.network 2 points 9 months ago

Standoff with the cartels?
