    Take note how few people are commenting/demanding the Epstein files now compared to a few weeks ago.

    The zone has flooded.

    Call his bluff. He just wants to wag his dick around. So mexico should mobilize their army at the border and say “cross this line and you are declaring war.”

    Guaranteed someone up high makes him understand how politically stupid that would be. Probably in pictures. With small words.

    No he isn’t, he isn’t declaring war with mexico, that would be REALLY, REALLY stupid.

    This is one of his horrible attempts at negotiating with Mexico, but it just comes across as insanity.

        The US hasn’t “technically” been at war since WW2. We weren’t “at war” during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War…

          Only open war we’ve had since I can remember is the war on drugs and homelessness. Shows you were our priorities lie considering we haven’t done shit to address either.

        Technically and laws don’t apply to this administration, if he were to declare war the Republicans would just predate a declaration of war and say it’s legal.

    Yeah, this is great. We’re going to (illegally) invade Mexico ane Venezuela simultaneously, while also occupying our own cities that don’t go along the paramilitary immigration Gestapo. Oh, and we’re also waging chaotic, impulsive trade wars with literally every country on Earth. Maybe we can get a ground war going in Russia as well, really speed run the imperial collapse.

                Wait till you upgrade to 7… GT sport was a decent stopgap, but 7 is so good I’m having trouble believing they can improve on it. The game is very serious but swaps can make it funny as hell. You can put the legendary 2jz Supra engine into a Yaris, a Chiron 1500 HP W16 into a Corvette, the Hellcat engine into a 1942 Willy’s jeep, there’s a lot of ridiculous fun to be had with engine swaps. You can even put a Porsche 911 engine into a VW bus. Good luck winning any races with some of these swaps, but it certainly is funny!

      My guess would be loads of bombs, drones and unnecessary suffering

      Mind you, this wouldn’t be anything different from the three day operation in Ukraine.

      The results wouldn’t be the same as Ukraine, there is no way that Mexico can defend itself against the US but…

      We got boat loads of Narcos there with US special forces training and guns supplied by the US and they know the territories like the back of their hands

      Sounds familiar? If anyone though Afghanistan nwas bad, wait until the first load of US soldiers are hanging from bridges or star in beheading videos, because that is what will happen when the US invades Mexico.

      That doesn’t even begin to talk about what Mexicans on US soil could pull off.

      The US would destroy Mexico, that’s for sure, because that is what the US does best, pretending it comes to liberate while absolutely devastating the country they invade, then it gets it’s ass handed back.

      México would destroy the US in kind. Not by conquering it or something, but by similar guerilla tactics that have been used in Afghanistan, etc. the amount of US soldiers coming back in coffins, combined nwith attacks on US soil will kill this joke of a presidency

      Not to worry. That perfect impenetrable wall that Trump had built during his first term will protect us all from the Mexican army.

    If the cartels turn Trump and his fellow MAGATs into gas station attendants, I wouldn’t mind. They are also welcome to burn down the ballroom.

    The shithead-in-chief wants a war so he can declare martial law and end our chance to rid ourselves of his cancer.
