    as long as they’re bickering internally and not doing anything else… let 'em have at it.

    Here’s how that’s going to go:

    • He’ll send in the military and they’ll successfully kill some “drug dealers”.
    • Mexico will be (rightly) pissed AF.
    • Mexico will retaliate by just ending all exports to the US of some essential goods (e.g. tomatoes, car parts).
    • The price of those goods will skyrocket. Business will close. White people who voted for Trump will bitch that, “he’s hurting the wrong people” again (leopards eating faces).
    • Mexico will refuse to take “back” their immigrants because of Trump’s bullshit.
    • Trump will “suddenly” need to jail a lot more “illegals” that he’s rounded up.
    • They’ll start making up stories about how all the millions of people in the concentration camps are nasty criminals and murderers… As an excuse for the poor treatment and blatant raping and murdering going on.
    • Right wing media will tow the party line. Anyone defending the “criminals” (which will include families with children) is a traitor to the country.

    History will repeat itself.

      I just cant imagine any of his lackeys being organized enough to build a camp network that can hold millions of people. My bet is they will will try to cram hundreds of thousands into camps that can only hold tens of thousands, fail, give up, then declare victory.

    Given the level of expertise in the trump regime, this can only possibly end with mexico reclaiming texas. I hope they rename it Alamonia. To remember.

    What’s more amusing is how they’ve all cried about how illegals are invading the country. If we invade and annex Mexico, are they still illegals?

      They’ll invent a term “resident non-citizen” and they’ll divvy up the country as franchises to the highest bidder.

    So, this is what you do to your #1trade partner

    • Level 100% tarrifs on their goods

    • dump millions of deportees on them

    • invade them with military

    IDK about you, but to me it sounds a little counter productive

      They’ll sure produce a lot of bullshit lies.

      It’s not “war” to them. I struggle to find a MAGA way to spin it, but it will be spun as something patriotic.

        Look at how the Russian invasion of Ukraine was sold to Russians. That’s how it will be sold to us. Those cartels are some scary motherfuckers. Legit.

        There are a lot of folks who would welcome the idea of if Mexico can’t handle them, we will.

    Trump has reportedly been gathering “battle plans” to attack drug cartels in Mexico since early 2023, with or without Mexico’s permission.

    One source close to Trump told Rolling Stone about a plan for a “soft” invasion of the country, in which U.S. special forces would assassinate cartel leaders covertly

    These actions vary in their level of force, including drone strikes and airstrikes against cartel targets such as drug labs, sending military advisers and trainers to Mexico, sending “kill teams” to the country, using cyberwarfare against drug lords and their organizations, and the assassination plan.

      Sounds accurate. He thinks things work like 80s action movies. He probably literally got mad when they told him Rambo was a fictional character, so they had to force some guy to legally change his name to Rambo so Trump would be happy.

      The idea that you can just “send” “special forces” “assassins” to kill cartel leaders in a foreign country is fairly challenging just as an accomplishsble mission, let alone factoring in the potential and very serious blowback from the cartels AND the Mexican government.

      $20 says he recently watched Sicario or something.

    And the world community will do nothing in response because the United States is singularly excepted from all international rules for some reason. It’s time for the world to start organizing, for real, against US economic and military hegemony.
