Trump readies US troops for ground invasion in Mexico to go after cartels: report

Huh, I would've thought getting into a new groundwar would have been lower on the list during a government shutdown.

Correction: Multiple ground wars

The peace candidate.

Multiple chances for a nobel peace prize. It's stat packing but ending 30 wars you started is pretty smart.

This is SpecOps stuff so you aren't going to see the Big Green Weenie (Regular US Army) crossing the Rio Grande and getting into firefights. Also the article is well behind the times, JSOC / SOCNORTH started these missions months ago and the intelligence efforts started months before that.

Even mainstream US Mil Youtubers like Cappy have been covering this for quite a while.

oh they’ll be taking the cash too

How many countries is he planning on invading at this point? I'm up to three, right now. Am I missing any?

Canada, Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Greenland... Might as well count the U.S. too.

He's already illegally occupying the US.

I think he was considering Nigeria for a brief time last week.

Colombia, Nigeria, Denmark by way of Greenland

we'll need to invade the hague (netherlands) at some point to for some reason or another. And Israel wants Egyptian and Jordanian land so we'll be there too. Its going to be a very expensive 3 years. The dollar will be worthless in the end.

Invading a neighboring country to attack some of its citizens, what could possibly go wrong?

Mexican president Claudio Sheinbaum.

-_-

Shit, we are doing a reboot. U.S.A-Mexican war part II.

Maybe we can lose Texas back to Mexico. That would be pretty alright.

If they say pretty please we can lose the south to them too.

I suppose I could learn Spanish if it came to that.

We can't do that to mexican food.

That would be the height of weirdness for me. Canada, under the auspices of the UN, fighting side by side with Mexico to defend against the bad old US of A.

SOCNORTH (Special Operations Command North) has been active in Mexico for a while. The US is running the same type of co-op effort that has been successful in South America.

"Successful" is an EXTREMELY generous word.
