...Or maybe Cuban troops. Nah, that could never happen - it would just be too much of a provocation.

Yeah, and how would (or should) the United States act if Mexico sent armed mercenaries to “defend” Mexicans in the U.S.? And then seized and occupied a portion of Texas?

We could arrange for some Mexicans to become Russians and train there, if you like.
