Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum dismissed reports of a potential U.S. “soft invasion” to combat cartels as “entirely a movie,” emphasizing Mexico’s sovereignty as a free, independent nation.
The Rolling Stone report claims Donald Trump’s incoming administration is considering covert military operations in Mexico, including airstrikes and assassinations of cartel leaders.
While Trump and key officials like Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio support such measures, experts warn they could backfire by boosting cartel recruitment, undermining Mexican sovereignty, and fostering cartel-Mexican authority collaboration.
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.
Uhm…You actually do.
Who the fuck are you calling "you*?
Land connected countries I think it’s only two (direct neighbors): Mexico and Canada. Is there another country I’m missing? If we can continue down south we get into Guatemala and Belize. If we allow water traversal, then the Caribbean is full of places.
I don’t see many of these locations not fighting back one way or another, either directly or through international responses. Germany at least had some casus belli for annexing territory through ethnic/cultural grounds and/or historical border European nation border changes. The US has no such thing to work with, we’d just be obviously complete assheads to annex anything at this point.
Land connected is 2, but Cuba is also right there
We also have a bit of an established history invading Cuba.
If we’re conting islands then we also have the bahamas, dominican republic, british virgin islands, anguilla, and st kitts & nevis
As long as it ends in 4 years. Otherwise it’s going to be much longer and much bloodier
Granting that he doesn’t Die
You’re ignoring that he promised his followers that they wouldn’t have to vote, anymore…
Don’t expect to ever be allowed to vote him out.
