Quote:
His explanation is that it’s due to Mexico’s hands off attitude towards cartels and drugs. I can’t agree that all or even the majority of Mexico officials are secretly shaking hands with cartel bosses. There have been enough high profile cartel killings of local politicians and police. I used to follow a few different cartel news YouTube channels… Let’s agree with the hypothesis that Mexico hadn’t done enough, what is it to do now? The only thing that would truly curtail cartels is to try the El Salvadoran way, a massive scale crackdown with a temporary halt on due process. And a lot of risks with that: - Cartels have infinitely more funding, guns, and tech than shithole gangs, will they go so quietly into the night? - Does Mexico have a prison system large enough to handle that kind of influx assuming they all casually surrendered? - No due process is pretty corruptible, and technically wrong on its own, but I had little issue with this when El Salvador did it due to the dire straits they were in to justify it But if not the Lock Em All Up El Salvador approach, what exactly does he want Mexico to do? Unfortunately the Mexican pres is right, collaboration will work better than antagonization. Does Trump want Mexico bussing more Central American migrants to the US border out of spite? Because they will | |||

Its not about the doing NopeNope its all about the saying. The optics.
He may get rid of the swamp creatures, the career politcians but they will be replaced by "businessmen consultants" who have zero actual power (so are not the same... plausible deniability so to speak,) but will have the ear of the For sale President. So he can say "See, I got rid of those career criminal politicians" you just dont wanna hear that they are to be replaced by objectively a worse alternative that direct even more to specific entities. This wont help those without ears to hear or eyes to see. Goooo Sportsball team! EDIT--- In short, those with funds/the wherewithall to buy before tarrifs affect them will make bank. Especially if they are backtracked later... Smaller entities cannot frontload. (Enough to make a difference) The rich will still be richer. Wallmart etc can afford to do that. Womp gets to say "See i did what I said id do." Emptied dat swamp-a-rooney. Meanwhile the small guy gets screwed (same as before) the large concerns make bank (same as before). It takes money to make money. (Same as before). So you got what you all voted for. But do you still want what you got? Also. People saying Buy 'merican! What do you guys even make? And at what relative cost? Genuine question actually. | ||

I just hope that we give mercenaries the legal right to do the plot to triple frontier. And to let them wear the flag on their shoulders while they do it.

Putin is rebuilding the Russian empire, it's working, confronting him head on would be too risky (nukes 'n stuff) even if the US could do it conventionally (they can't really), so the US is going to ramp up US empire building, US style, to keep pace.
1) Demand huge concessions from overseas vassals. Germany must commit 5% of GDP which is 50% of total budget to military lololol. 2) Make impossible demands on neighbors, starting with straight up demands for cash money. When they fail to pay up, use it as a reason for demanding more concessions and more access, with the eventual goal of essentially taking over. What are they going to do? Complain about it? Ask China for help? Lololol. BRICS? LMAO. 3) Russia wants half of Ukraine? China wants Taiwan? US will puppet Mexico and probably other SA countries all the way down to Panama, do Canada AND Greenland too, while Europe grovels and gets ready to fight the orcs for democracy. Who's got the biggest dick now, Putin? EL OH EL OH EL. 4) Putin used military force because he lost control of the Ukrainian gov and Ukraine/NATO was becoming a serious military threat on his border, but US is under no direct military threat and will go with tariffs and other economic methods first, which will work much better against allies and neighbors than they did against Russia, and will only use military force if it's really necessary. Probably won't be. Maybe some "police" in Mexico. 5) More stars for the flag, Trump gets credit for getting the ball rolling. East vs West. Oceania has always been at war with Asia/Russia. Unironically. | ||

Always wiff dat pretend movie/game stuff.
It's OK if you feel helpless. Admitting it is the first step. Superman is just a non denominational "god". Movie hero? Same. As long as the shooter has a stars and stripes it seems fine. Gooo Sportsball Team! | ||
