“Time for another “Black Jack” Pershing American Expeditionary Force kind of pacification in Mexico, much like what was mounted a century ago. Mexico has been unable to establish a stable, self-supporting government since they won independence from Spain, and they want to claim some of OUR territory under the doctrine of “reconquista”?

Read “THE WAR IN 2020” by Ralph Peters.
Ralph Peters predicted 20 years ago what Mexico would become.
If you can’t beat’em, join’em.
From Library Journal Peters's latest futuristic war novel (after Red Army, LJ 4/1/89) eerily has some of the same circumstances and certainly some similar "characters" as the war in the Persian Gulf, even though it is fiction. The war in this novel is being fought by an Islamic-Japanese axis, which has attacked a post-Gorbachev Soviet Union weakened by a devastating civil war. Enter the Americans on the side of the Soviets; enter, too, the larger-than-life heroic figure of Colonel George Taylor, who commands a computerized aerial strike force called the U.S. 7th Cavalry. It should be noted that by 2020 the "final" Mideast War has been fought and surviving Israelis have been resettled in "homelands located in the least promising area of the Far West." Peters, an Army intelligence officer, writes believably of high-tech warfare, but the fighters are real people.While that's a hit-and-miss as applied futurology goes, as a grandson of one of the Pershing Expeditionary Force, and having worked for a while in Mexico (during the days of Janet Reno) I'm interested in what Peters had to say about May-hee-koh.
Ping!
At the beginning of the book, Peters has Colonel George Taylor in Mexico fighting a guerrilla war, which he excells
at.
The book is a great read. I highly recommend it.
But...but...Gestapitano just said the border is safer than ever!
thought doj said borders are safe?

FYI: Maj. Gen. Bob Scales interviewed by Greta. I haven’t seen this report discussed anywhere else-—not even on FR.
