As predicted Mexico is in for a rough time.

If Broadway Joey had done a motherfucking thing at all, none of this would be necessary.

It's not necessary now. It never was. The drug trade does not matter.

 

[Politruk]

There could always be Anschluss South, too.

You really want that many Mexicans in Congress?

The cost of any such troops is or will be considered and investment. The cost has already been imposed by the last 4 years.

Not sure I know what you are talking about in your side note. The President is a peacemaker.

Speaking of the last 4 years. Now the "leadership" is exposed to know as well as we did oBiden was senile, who was making all the decisions on his behalf? Those people need to be searched out and tried for treason.

MAGAts love them some orange kool-aid…

Investment in what? They wouldn't do anything of value. The drug trade does not matter.

 

[PersonalFavors]

Not without Mexico's permission.

Already has it.

 

[Politruk]

Already has it.

President Sheinbaum said it's OK? When?

Trump has declared the Cartels "Terrorist Organizations" and that declaration has serious implications. It means that Trump can deploy troops to Mexico if he so desires. It also bypasses the Posse Comitatus Act in his deployment of troops on the border.

I doubt that you're going to see the 82nd Airborne or the 4th Armor surging into Mexico anytime soon, but the tools that he now has at his disposal give him SERIOUS leverage in dealing with the Mexican government.

Fact check: Designating cartels as terrorist organizations does not give Trump unilateral authority to deploy troops to Mexico. That would require Mexican consent or congressional approval, or it would be an act of war. The Posse Comitatus Act isn’t relevant here—it limits domestic military use, not foreign operations. The designation mainly expands sanctions and legal tools, not military options.

You are so misinformed about the serious leverage you think he has—Buffoonery at best.

The troops are on the boarder. Terrorists cross or fire across, we will defend ourselves.
However and as previously stated, it will not be necessary. Just mentioning the tariffs has the Peso struggling.
I'm sure this Mexican will be as helpful as the one last time Trump negotiated with them. Trash talking America did not get her elected to office. See how well that worked for democrats?

Is that right? Better go round Obama up and maybe impeach him for those drone strikes.

Point is he can and he will if Mexico doesn't play ball and no is going to do a fucking thing about it beyond the possibility of someone writing a strongly worded letter.

American hiker shot twice by suspected cartel terrorist near US-Mexico border​

Here it comes.... Looks like Mexico has determined to declare war on the US. Jumping this far ahead so fast looks like the tariffs may not do much more than create funds for the US. They can't export people and many US companies already left.

Terrorists are not on the border. Drug dealers are not terrorists. They have no political agenda.

That is not terrorism. That is armed robbery.

Exactly. I would expect joint military operations to be carried out in the not too distant future. Those operations will most likely involve SOCOM operators working with the Mexican Marines.

 

[Politruk]

Actually, her Morena party is "Socialism of the 21st Century." Post-Marxist.

That is not terrorism. That is armed robbery.

Robbery? The bullets were from a barrage "sprayed at hikers" from the other side of the border. Completely random. Mexico needs to step up or see how much of the dirty work we are willing to do. Surely you are not defending Mexico or the cartels which ever one fired the spray of bullets across the border.

The linked story says "Border patrol said a group of hikers were bombarded with gunfire, with the victim struck twice and robbed in El Centro Sector’s area in the Jacumba Wilderness." I won't defend that, but terrorism it is not. Even by Trump's standards, it is deeply dishonest of him to classify drug cartels as "terrorists."

In a related topic, Trump has ordered DEA and other federal enforcement agencies to aid ICE in taking out the trash.

All righty now. Mexico has refused to accept a deportation flight. This is a dangerous game to play.

President Obama never used drone strikes in Mexico.

And at no point will President Felon legally use drones against Mexico, either let alone invade a sovereign country and close economic and political ally.

Maybe in your mind-game player, but not in the real world.

Obama is no longer in office, right? So he can't be impeached. Guess you need to brush up on your law facts.
