Mexico’s president says ‘there will be no invasion … it’s absolutely off the table’ after news reports of order
Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has rejected the idea that the US might invade Mexico after news reports suggested Donald Trump had authorized the use of military force targeting drug cartels deemed terrorist organizations in Latin American countries.
“The United States is not going to come to Mexico with their military,” she said during a daily news conference on Friday. “We cooperate, we collaborate, but there will be no invasion. It’s off the table, absolutely off the table.”
The Mexican president said her government had been informed of the executive order but insisted that “it had nothing to do with the participation of any military or any institution on our territory. There is no risk that they will invade our territory.”
If he was gonna do it he would have already. This is BS drama trump is stirring up on an international scale to try and get us to stop talking about the Epstein files. RELEASE THE DAMN FILES.
The 1000 FBI agents are still redacting trumps name from the files, they need more time.
Trump doesn’t want to seize Mexico like wants to take Canada because Mexico is full of brown people.
Wait, you think white people don’t want to take over the country full of brown people? How do you think Colonialism works?
OP’s point still stands. He would neocolonize Mexico but wants Canada as the 51st state
Canada is full of brown people too.
Oh I’m sure Trump plans to ‘fix’ that
Canada is full of brown people…mostly those immigrated recently enough that their citizenship could be declared invalid because ‘reasons’ and forcibly deported back to their ancestral countries.
Wasn’t this logic used at the conclusion of the Mexican-American war?
He sure does want to kill us so it is a bit worrying.
This justification is straight out of Clear and Present Danger. Also, see Sicario. Big exception being, those anti-cartel operations were black jobs. Now we’re openly talking about it!
Variable, this is Knife…
That’s the movie that make me look up “actual” as a commo term!
those black jobs make a lot more sense.
Openly talking about it and framing it like a military invasion is just dumbshit, caveman, jingoistic, sports team levels of bravado. Authoritarian and Fascist strongmen just doing authoritarian fascist strongman things.
Mexico has no military that could stop the US. Maybe sanctions…but it’s not like saying “no” ever stopped Mango Mussolini.
Mmmmm, don’t be too sure.
Yeah, the US has the drones and the tanks and the planes. Remember how well that went in Afghanistan? Iraq, anyone?
They can invade the country and overrun it in seconds, I have no doubt about that. Then, though, the fun starts.
Mexicans, especially those in the cartels, have very creative ways to make people really really regret stepping in the wrong direction.
How many videos of US soldiers slowly being cut into pieces alive and then hung from a bridge, posted on TikTok, do you think it’ll take before his base starts getting a very big knot in their stomach?
Then what do you think cartel soldiers already in the US will do? How do you think the Latino community in the US will respond?
If the US invades México, it will destroy México, have no doubt about that.
It will also absolutely end Trump and the US.
Don’t forget: one side’s soldiers present a far larger target area…
“betcha they won’t see me, Sarge”
They have enough to hurt a lot.
The Taliban didn’t have a military that could stop the US either. How did that work out again?

One does not invite a Fascist into one’s country without losing that country
Fuck the us army, I hope they lose this war too.
loosing wars is their thing.
the US military is there to funnel tax dollars to shareholders so they can funnel a minute fraction of those dollars to lobbying bribes.
winning wars isn’t profitable. long open ended occupations are far more profitable.
You should lead the charge clown. Who is creating the demand for the illegal drug market? There’s your root cause.
It’s cute she thinks she has a choice
you have a choice to resist a foreign invasion.
