‘We are not subordinate’: Claudia Sheinbaum warns U.S. against drone-bombing Mexico

If you want to know how it came to be that Palestinians elected and supported Hamas, just watch in real time as Mexican cartels step up to help Mexico resist American imperialism. I guarantee it will play out in an eerily familiar way if Trump keeps playing these games.

That's fucking wild! Mexico is not South Sudan or Afghanistan, failed states ruled by warlords. It will start with "we're only targetting cartels" and conclude with "these terrorists are purposely using hospital staff as human shields, what would you have us do?!"
- the only warlords governing afghanistan were the US.
- Wild take here but I don't really think the US should be bombing ANY other nation.
  
  Not even Israeli or Russian troops in Palestine or Ukraine?
  
  Haha I respect that
  
  Whoa! Calm down!
- Mexico is not South Sudan or Afghanistan, failed states ruled by warlords
  I'll note that for the latter, it's a failed state ruled by warlords because the US rolled in and fucked everything up.
  
  Afghanistan was all fucked up long before that.
  
  This statement is only relevant if your knowledge of history started in 1980.
  
  But Taliban was in power before the 2001 invasion.
  
  No, it's a failed state because the cartels have more power than the government. Stop blaming your own country, traitor.
- failed states ruled by warlords
  Do you have any idea how many candidates get murdered in elections in Mexico?
  
  Or Russia?
- Israel a better example.
- Scare tactics 101 by the left.

Anyone else getting tired of this guy?
- a german citizen, 1940
  
  In 1935. By 1940 everyone who was able to say that was already not in a position to say anything. US is just at the beginning of the journey.
  
  Here we go..
- Yup.
- Nope. Not the majority of us who voted for him.
  
  Not a majority. Maybe not even a plurality.

Drone bombing? So, like, starting a war?
I'll be interested to see how that pans out. Another powerful Dictator recently invaded a much smaller weaker nation, and that didn't turn out how everyone expected, so...
- There are over 65 MILLION hispanic people in the US, many of them have family or other connections in Mexico.
  If this clown started a war with fucking Mexico, it would end just like his "war with canada" with millions of people marching on DC and dragging his bloated, festering orange ass out of the white house with force and likely exacting their own justice out on the lawn. Americans have been wounded, but they still have limits.
  Trump (or his team) know this, that's why they're saying all this shit, because they KNOW it riles up people who aren't his supporters. They are deliberately trying to stoke division so that the Trump-haters and Trump-lovers go to war with each other. That is their ideal fantasy because it would allow martial law, revocation of rights, and like, five more terms of various Trump family members sitting on the throne.
  Their trick is going to be riding the line long enough so that people tune out and stop caring about the lesser crimes he's doing all day, every day.
  
  ☝🏼☝🏼

Yes pls. Give Mexico, Canada, and the rest of the democratic world the reason to Liberate the US from tyranny.
- Sorry mate, that's on you. Your founding padres even told you that unless you water your tree of liberty you might not keep your republic (paraphrasing Jefferson and Franklin here).
  
  These fuckers were supposedly accepting gunning down children every once in awhile because "guns are needed to resista tiranny". Lmao.
- We're a bit busy protecting ourselves from the US.
  You Americans can fix your own damn problems.
  
  Also any army invading the USA is going to face a lot of casualties. Why would other nations volunteer to die to fix America’s decline?
  
  How did you think the world protected themselves from fascism during WW2?
  (Hint: Germans didn't fix it by themselves.)
- If I'm not mistaken, the US spends more on military than the rest of NATO combined. How do you imagine a military engagement against the US would end for us?
  
  Poorly but the US would lose like the loser country they are. MFs couldn't win against Vietnam or Afghan peasants.
- Oh brother..

Trump thinks literally everyone is supposed to be subordinate to the U.S. because 'murica.
I say Mexico drone strikes the source of it's gang's weapons supply; namely the gun manufacturers in the United States.
- subordinate to the U.S. because 'murica.
  Not quite - he wants them to be subordinate to him.
  In olden days, Kings would force fealty by forcing others to "kiss the ring". That's exactly what he tries to do - and what was behind the ridiculous display with his guest, President Zelensky.
  We've seen him hide behind his title again and again when people challenge him "You don't speak to the president like that!" Yet any small successes are entirely his doing. Shameful, if the man had any shame whatsoever.

I mean... I'm sorry to say, but they are. Not what I want but how it is. The US has controlled and bullied its neighbors and South America for a while now.
- I think you might be misinterpreting her words as descriptive rather than prescriptive. Mexico do declare they ain’t subordinate

I'd like to point out that we're in this mess because Mexico doesn't do enough to stop the cartels. No matter who Lemmy and Reddit spin it, the cartels are horrible organizations that commit horrible crimes.
- Bye.
- I'd like to point out that we're in this mess because the US doesn't do enough to stop gun companies arming the cartels. No matter how Fox News and The Washington Post spin it, gun companies are horrible organizations that commit horrible crimes.
  Disclaimer: this response is solely to point out that that ZK686 is a bumbling shortsighted idiot and in no way represents an endorsement of Claudia Sheinbaum who is an evil piece of shit.
  
  Let us know when you're leaving for better things!
  
  Why is she a piece of shit?
- I'd like to point out that you're in this mess because the US system has failed its citizens so badly that addiction is rampant and there is little to no social support for mental health or people experiencing poverty. Not to mention that your government provided those guns to the mexican cartels AND played a huge role in causing drug addiction in the US in the first place.
  I have said it before and will say it again, the demand for drugs comes from WITHIN the US. Fix your social support systems and stay the fuck out of everyone else's business.
  
  Thank you. This seems like common sense.
  
  Let us know when you're leaving...
- Does the US do enough to end it's addiction to drugs?
  
  You cut the head of the snake to stop the poison... this is common sense.
