    Impossible, we’d take Mexico in just 3 days. It won’t even be a war, just a special military operation in the region. They’ll probably welcome our troops when they come through anyhow.

    what do you mean they’re fighting back?

      It would be so fitting for the Russians to desire conquest and domination and a show of strength so deeply that when failing to be sufficiently powerful with conventional warfare they would end civilization to not have to accept it. It’s the orc state of mind.

    A Mexico invasion would look very similar to Vietnam. The only people that lose are Mexican civilians. Cartels would be able to seize even more power than they already have. The population would be entrenched and destroy us with guerilla ware fare tactics.

    Lol! A better comparison would be what the US did (and is still doing) in the Middle East.

    You think Russia isn’t motivated by full control of oil production? You don’t think that’s why we are so heavily involved?

    Of course you don’t. “Daddy Government” convinced you this is a war about protecting “western values” and “freedoms”. And you NUM NUM NUM NUM NUMMIED that garbage down so you could feel warm in your widdle tummy.

          “I-it’s just over resources!!! A-and whatabout America in the Middle East???”

          Try getting your genocide-denialist talking points from a more effective vendor.

            Save your hyperbole for people like yourself who fold when some rando on the internet calls them a genocide supporter (see 2024 election results for more information).

            I see the world for what it is: a race to control all remaining resources.

            But, when people in power can so easily trick their subordinates into thinking they are magnanimous leaders, why not exploit it?!

            Naivety makes for easy manipulation. Which is why you are in the position you are currently in.
