I don’t know who would win because the cartels are way better funded, equiped and trained; but they are way less psychotic and bloodthirsty than the yanks
In any case, nobody wants their employees fighting each other so HR is gonna cool down the situation
Arent the Mexican cartels armed and funded by the US? Would this be more like an internal conflict?
yeah it would be trump-aligned military vs pentagon cartels vs cia cartels
Here’s one of the big books on this sort of topic. I haven’t read it, but I’ve not seen a bad review of it.
I don’t think it would be simple to convince soldiers to inavde Mexico. Sure, orders are orders, but it would be met with resistance. Unless, of course, some cartel members blew up a building in Houston. Then the sabers would rattle to the rhythm of the drums of war.
Of course that would beg the question, “If borders so secure, how did bombs?”
To which they’d reply, “Cartel sympathist! We was attacked! Stupid socialist, go live in Mexico if you love it so much! They hate our freedoms! Alamo!”
Lockheed and Boeing salivate as they fund both sides of an intense border skirmish, full of clashes and conflict, but never a war.
Support would quickly wane until there’s some citations missing from a New York Times report about yellow cake uranium or some kind of ray gun that makes people allergic to burgers, being developed only 100 miles south of San Antonio?!?

The United States invaded Mexico in 1916, with 10,000 troops led by John J. Pershing, and also intervened in the Mexican Revolution using war ships. It happened before, it can happen again. The only reason the USA did not coup Cardenas when he nationalized Mexico’s oil industry and created Pemex in 1938 is because FDR needed Mexico’s help in the lead-up to WWII - Trump has absolutely no mercy for Shinebaum or Morena in general.
I apologize if I may have unintentionally mislead you. I made no attempt to say it couldn’t happen again. On the contrary, I was simply using comedy to allude to a possible false flag attack in order to justify an invasion.
The part you quoted was there to misdirect the reader to set up for the great merriment laid out later in the comment.
In all seriousness, massive layoffs and the destruction of the little social safety nets are going to funnel many desperate people into one of the few benefits-rich institutions in America: The Military.
Idk, I feel like it’s easier to convince the troops to invade Mexico than it is to invade some country in the Middle East.
There are plenty of racist nationalist chuds in America itself let alone the military.
I feel like a lot of conservative types see it as using the military to deal with an “actual” problem that effects the US border, it’s soverngty and it’s citizens.
the US is just going to carpet bomb some neighborhood and count every corpse as an enemy
If it happens I can only hope watching their zoomer children getting domed on censored bodycam footage on TV channels shakes some of the bloodlust out of Americans
so they’re just going to attack Langley?
