Mexico’s president has some advice for U.S. on moral decay -

Wow, the irony of being preached at on morals by the president of a country that has been exporting such fine examples of upstanding citizens.

Who cares what DeSantis thinks on the issue? He’ll never be the GOP nominee for President and, certainly, not in 2024.

Yep, shall we talk about all those massacres perpetrated by the Mexican Government over the years against students and journalists? I don’t think they really want to go there.

“Instead, overriding everything else about DeSantis ,is that we are supposed to hate him because of his ties to Karl Rove and Paul Ryan types”

Well people tend to hang around folks with the same ideals, so Yes, it’s a valid reason.

And it’s in no way no shape and no form warmongering to defend your nation.

80,100 mostly young Americans died from opioids mostly brought over by cartels in 2021.

SMH.

DeSantis and whoever we is, are going to have to mortgage their homes to buy the drones.

I have zero issue attacking cartels, operating on our soil.

We can’t willy nilly do whatever we please in Mexico these days, which is what they are stating they wish to do.

Hahahahaha.
Get your little fag ass out there and start doing something.

You won’t, you little keyboard bitch.
Don’t start shit you can’t finish and don’t accuse someone of not doing something.
Take your punk ass outta here and sit in time out. The adults were trying to have a civil discussion before you resorted to profanity.

‘ Prior to the Villa-Carranza split in 1915, there is no credible evidence that Villa cooperated with or accepted any help from the German government or agents. Villa was supplied arms from the U.S., employed American mercenaries and doctors, was portrayed as a hero in the U.S. media, and did not object to the 1914 U.S. naval occupation of Veracruz (Villa’s observation was that the occupation merely hurt Huerta). The German consul in Torreón made entreaties to Villa, offering him arms and money to occupy the port and oil fields of Tampico to enable German ships to dock there, this offer was rejected by Villa.”

The cartels already come and go as they please, going after them in their home may the the only way to stop them. Their government is either unable or unwilling to stop them.

Drone strikes on US or Mexico soil? On Mexico is an act of war. On US soil, well, hmm, remind me again how those no-knocks have worked out.

Smells like all hat and no cattle.

Well, all of us have different criteria as far as how we judge people , and situations, and politicians.

While I’d like to agree with you, the cartels are now
operating on both sides of the border.

We’re going to have the same problems with Mexicans do down
there if we don’t do something.
