Mexico will never tolerate an invasion of its national sovereignty by the United States, President Claudia Sheinbaum warned Thursday after Washington designated Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

“This cannot be an opportunity for the U.S. to invade our sovereignty,” she said. “With Mexico it is collaboration and coordination, never subordination or interventionism, and even less invasion.”

On Wednesday, the Trump administration formally labeled eight cartels as terrorist groups. They include Mexico’s two main drug trafficking organizations, the Jalisco New Generation and Sinaloa cartels.

    Don’t give up nukes if you have any. Get some as a deterrent if you don’t.

    At this point I would love it if Mexico, Canada, Greenland, NATO, and whoever else Trusk have threatened would team up and invade US, overthrow the fascists, and oversee a legitimate election with paper ballots and CCTV at all polling places and ballot tallying locations. Our elected officials are clearly going to continue hemming and hawing, filing lawsuits while telling us to “fight back,” without understanding that none of it is going to work now that they’ve dug their claws in. He never should have been inaugurated. If the general [sane] public thought something about the election was weird pretty much immediately, that means the Biden admin likely had hard evidence long before we started putting the pieces together. But no, let’s have a peaceful transfer of power, that’ll show 'em.

    So from what I can tell, here is all of the places Trump has threatened either directly or indirectly to send the U.S. military since taking office in January:

    Greenland
    Panama
    Gaza
    Canada
    Ukraine
    Mexico

    Did I forget any? I realize the U.S. has one of the biggest militaries in the world, but I think maybe he’s going to stretch them a bit thin?

      As a Mexican immigrant living in the United States for almost 8 years now, if that happens I go to my Mexico Mágico, fuck this cultural cleanse culture.

      Approx. 200 years ago Mexico was in a similar position to what the United States used to portray until not too long ago, a pluricultural melting pot of different cultures from all over the world… It had just declared its independence from Spain in 1821, the 5 de Mayo war a few years later, brought French men who decided to stay after losing, Persian or Arabian immigrants brought what came to be the Taco Al Pastor, German immigrants residing in the port of Mazatlán brought the brass instruments, that now make up the regional music known as Banda, and the indigenous culture of the country combined with the influx of migrants developed one of the most intriguing and acclaimed cuisines in the world. Is the United States just gonna be like the UK 200 years from now?

        I hope not. But everything happens so much faster now than 200 years ago. In 200 years, if humanity still exists, it will be so different, perhaps nearly unrecognizable.

        What part of Mexico are you from? I’ve been to Mexico City, the West Coast, and Baja California. Take me with you? Mi Español es mierda pero soy un estudiante rapido.

    We’re in some weird timeline where we may actually see the Mexican military and the cartels cooperate. Wild.

    The Mexican government is unable to control its own borders. Cartels rule with impunity within the country. Only a corrupt Mexican government bought by the cartels would oppose intervention.

      Lol the border control issue is a yank problem. Yanks are the customer amigo. Cartels are the result of that problem. Cartels are fucked but they are operating in the the united States just as well as they do in Mexico. I hope you can see what is right there before you…

      Do you know/remember who Donald Rumsfeld was? “Welcome us as liberators.” How did that go? And how long did it go for? And how much “blood and treasure” was wasted? And what did it get the average united States citizen?

      Yanks should be opposed to a foreign invasion because yanks can’t win wars and haven’t in DECADES. They are expensive and once soldiers get a hold of a good taco, they will lay down their arms chingado.

      Like I almost want to see it happen just to see how badly it would go for the yank invaders. Darwin award levels of stupidity.

      The American government is unable to control its own healthcare. Oligarchs rule with impunity within the country. Only a corrupt American government bought by the oligarchs would oppose intervention from Europe.

      Make America European Again!

    And… How do we plan on stopping them? Our militia is controlled by the same narcos and so is the goverment (also the national guard barely has any armament or training).

    The first thing that comes to mind is allowing the narcos to defend themselves while turning a blind eye to it and alerting them whenever it’s possible.

    Being real… We as a country are expendable to the world, the last president made sure to empty the arks and the current one was ordered to keep them empty and dismantle the constitution, if the USA decides to attack we are sitting ducks.
