Question. When hasn't the US treated Mexico like a hostile foreign power?soviet-hmm

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What is their reasoning? I mean, we all know why, but how are they spinning it to make it seem like Mexico is the bad guy? What has Mexico done to anyone?

it's the american propagand consent manufacturing machine working to make americans okay w another invasion; they did the same thing w iraqi wmd's.

Imho, the Mexican gov't is too insufficienctly pro-U.S intervention to American hawks (good for Mexico)

According to the writer, it's worth violating Mexico's sovereignty, for Amerikkka's chauvinist goals:

because of the Mexican government’s complicity in cartel activities, going to war against the cartels will mean acting unilaterally, without the permission or cooperation of Mexican officialdom. We shouldn’t let that deter us. As a sovereign nation, the United States has the right and indeed the duty to secure our border. What that will entail, because the Mexican state is deeply corrupt and elements within it have been colluding with the cartels for years now, is ensuring the Mexican military and state and local police don’t interfere with our operations against the cartels.

Lol so they just want another forever war to distract people and secure military funding. Sad. After all, half of those cartels are probably where the feds get half their dark money

I miss when these libertarian types believed in the NAP. It was always cope, but at least it mitigated the harm they purported to cause.
