      Unhinged President is excited about bombing Mexico to distract from his utter failure of leadership.

    Mexico has repeatedly asked the United states to do oversight on guns being trafficked into Mexico from the United States to no avail. They even sued but our corrupt Supreme Court full of facist activist judges blocked the suit. We are in a large part responsible for the situation in Mexico and the refugee crisis. This and the ICE Gestapo is just more Native American genocide.

    He’s already doing it to Venezuelas fishing boats, without any evidence of them carrying drugs.

    This is good. Mexico needs help dealing with its cartels.

    Right now, anyone in the Mexican government who stands up to the cartels ends up putting themselves and their families at grave risk. Most of them have already been killed in a gruesome manner years ago, which is why none of them make it a priority now.

    Here’s hoping that giving our assistance will make it so cartels cannot threaten the Mexican people ever again.

    Edit: “The Mexican Bukele,” a mayor who stood up against the cartels was just killed in front of a crowd of people while under police protection: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/02/mexican-mayor-killed-during-day-of-the-dead-celebrations

    All the downvoters should really ask themselves if they’re thinking about the subject, or just trying to fit in with their peers. I know what I’ll put my money on, but I don’t think most of you are capable of admitting when you’re wrong if it goes against the crowd.

      There’s a history of the USA’s bombings of other countries being clothed in “we’re helping” rhetoric while doing the opposite of helping. I don’t trust at all that this will help, especially when led by incompetent white supremacist fascists like Pete Hegseth.

        That Troll keeps posting similar authoritarian rhetoric under other news articles about the US wanting to invade other countries.

        Account’s less than a day old, and they can only seem to parrot the fascist talking points that Hegseth has. The second you call them out as a troll they’ll curse & block you lol

          You’ve got some real “boomer” thinking. This is 2025, we can see the destruction the U.S. causes other countries when we step in. I sincerely hope this changes in the future and we can actually help other countries overcome oppression, but fact is, we are not there right now. This administration doesn’t actually care about the cartels, they just want an excuse to bomb more people, look cool to their authoritarian friends, and reap fear.

          Also, Mexico didn’t ask for our help. This is calling for an invasion of a country, which means war.

          I see you commenting all over how people who disagree with you aren’t thinking this matter through, but it’s pretty damn clear you aren’t thinking it through and you’re being an ass about it. Shameful.
