Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum dismissed reports of a potential U.S. “soft invasion” to combat cartels as “entirely a movie,” emphasizing Mexico’s sovereignty as a free, independent nation.
The Rolling Stone report claims Donald Trump’s incoming administration is considering covert military operations in Mexico, including airstrikes and assassinations of cartel leaders.
While Trump and key officials like Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio support such measures, experts warn they could backfire by boosting cartel recruitment, undermining Mexican sovereignty, and fostering cartel-Mexican authority collaboration.
Didn’t the nazi’s start with their neighbors too?
The Nazis annexed 3 neighbors without even firing a shot.
The US doesn’t even have 3 neighbors.
Uhm…You actually do.
Land connected countries I think it’s only two (direct neighbors): Mexico and Canada. Is there another country I’m missing? If we can continue down south we get into Guatemala and Belize. If we allow water traversal, then the Caribbean is full of places.
I don’t see many of these locations not fighting back one way or another, either directly or through international responses. Germany at least had some casus belli for annexing territory through ethnic/cultural grounds and/or historical border European nation border changes. The US has no such thing to work with, we’d just be obviously complete assheads to annex anything at this point.
Land connected is 2, but Cuba is also right there
If we’re conting islands then we also have the bahamas, dominican republic, british virgin islands, anguilla, and st kitts & nevis
Welp, Guantanamo technically has a land border too.
Guantanamo is leased from Cuba, it’s not US territory. If you count that, you’d have to count every other US military installation.
We also have a bit of an established history invading Cuba.
Who the fuck are you calling "you*?
