| Ryuu96 said: Hegseth told the officials that if Mexico didn't deal with the collusion between the country's government and drug cartels, the U.S. military was prepared to take unilateral action, according to people briefed on the Jan. 31 call. Mexico's top brass who were on that call were shocked and angered, feeling he was suggesting U.S. military action inside Mexico, these people said. The Defense Department declined to comment. Mexico Fears Trump’s Cartel Demand Comes With Tariff and Military Threat - WSJ The Defense Department declined to comment. Very encouraging to decline to comment about a report which states you're suggesting invading Mexico. |
Sounds like Trump has been hanging out with Netanyahu.
Trump gives the green light to that war criminal to keep occupying and bombing both Lebanon and Syria. Except there the excuse is weapon smuggling instead of drugs. Accusing Syria's and Lebanon's government of collusion with the smugglers. (Yet at the same time making sure they stay weak enough not to be able to do anything about it)
So now Trump wants to do the same to Mexico in the name of drug cartels...
As suggested earlier, Mexico should threaten to bomb US gun stores, supplying the drug cartels.
Trump saw what Putin and Netanyahu are getting away with and wants a piece of that pie.

These successors to Stalin, Hitler and Mao are the ones making history in an unhappy, warring world
The 19th-century idea that great men – exceptionally talented, courageous, charismatic individuals – direct and change the course of history by the sheer force of their genius and personality is hard to shake. It has persisted despite the rise of egalitarian and Marxist social theory and the advent in the 1960s of EP Thompson’s levelling up school of “history from below”.
...
Except, in the modern era, such “great” men are typically not heroes at all, as the word is commonly understood, but anti-heroes or, more precisely, villains. Like Carlyle’s select few, they wield significant power. But unlike them, they use it unwisely, selfishly and destructively, appealing to people’s worst instincts, prejudices and fears. The greatest anti-heroic villains of the 20th century were mass murderers: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong.
Today, three contemporary anti-heroes command global history-altering influence. Their messianic views, immense egos, disregard for truth, joylessness and cold-hearted inhumanity single them out as headline hooligans of an unheroic age. Step forward Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump – the riders of the storm, the three witches of a hexed, unhappy, warring world.
...
What do this unlovely trio have in common? Putin, Russia’s president, invades other people’s countries and butchers civilians, as in Chechnya, Georgia and Syria. His Ukraine war crimes spree has killed at least 11,000 non-combatants so far. The latest made-in-Moscow horrors are glide bombs, packed with 590kg (1,300lb) of explosive that silently come from nowhere and destroy entire apartment buildings in one blast. (By comparison, an artillery shell contains about 5.9kg of explosive.) Putin ordered more devastating aerial attacks last week.
Then there is Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister. His insistence on keeping occupation troops in Gaza is blocking a ceasefire deal. Last week, he launched a lethal “re-invasion” of the West Bank. He aches to invade Lebanon, too. More than 40,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have died in Gaza since the 7 October Hamas massacres. Like Putin, Netanyahu is accused of crimes against humanity.
Trump, the US presidential hopeful, is a different kind of monster, one who tried to murder American democracy. He prefers ducking out to invading, as in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Venezuela and North Korea. Trump won’t stand with Europe, Nato, Ukraine, Japan or Taiwan. But he’s a killer all the same, witness his 2020 assassination of Iranian general Qassem Suleimani. Trump was re-indicted last week for his 6 January 2021 coup attempt.
This is from last August, things have only gotten worse since then. Well Trump did get a 'ceasefire' in Gaza, or rather managed to divert attention. The 'ceasefire' has only slowed the murdering of Palestinians while moving the war to the West Bank.
All the bad 'predictions' are coming true now

The outcomes of the two biggest wars in the world hang in the balance of the American presidential election, even though U.S. troops are not involved in combat in either one. If Donald Trump wins the election, both wars will get much, much worse.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu both want Trump to win the American presidential election so that they can prolong and intensify their brutal wars without the possibility of American interference.
