Mexico’s president says ‘there will be no invasion … it’s absolutely off the table’ after news reports of order
Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has rejected the idea that the US might invade Mexico after news reports suggested Donald Trump had authorized the use of military force targeting drug cartels deemed terrorist organizations in Latin American countries.
“The United States is not going to come to Mexico with their military,” she said during a daily news conference on Friday. “We cooperate, we collaborate, but there will be no invasion. It’s off the table, absolutely off the table.”
The Mexican president said her government had been informed of the executive order but insisted that “it had nothing to do with the participation of any military or any institution on our territory. There is no risk that they will invade our territory.”
yeah no doubt i did.
im sorry i didnt mean to say- I was upset when i wrote that, hard not to be, times bein’. i only meant to say two things can be true at once, just because we need to keep our eye on the ball with this epstein business doesn’t mean he won’t succeed in distracting us from it by doing something that is more nearly in the realm of “normal execution of presidential duties” like invading another country without bothering to get congress’ opinion on the matter, for which there is plenty of precedent.
as for plan? fuuuuck no. I’m figuring we have been sitting around waiting for this liberal utopia to kick in any day now while the dystopiists have been staying up late every night to make sure that doesn’t happen, and now, just now we’re realizing we’ve been in a race and missed the buzzer by like a couple decades. People been shouting from the rooftops about “fascist” this and “authoritarian creep” that and it feels like rather than a slow wave of creep its rather the inflection point of a sudden tsunami flood. with all the worst people from 4chan running the fucking country, how can you plan around chaos? isn’t that the point of the chaos to begin with?
