The leading Republican candidates for president want to unleash military strikes inside Mexico against the cartels — with or without Mexico’s permission — and have not voiced concern about the likely blowback. Donald Trump has promised a naval blockade in a second term. At the debate he skipped last week, rivals promised to counter the border “invasion” with assets shifted from Ukraine. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed to send special forces into Mexico “on day one.”

    We could easily overpower them, let’s just take Mexico. On top of that let’s just grab Canada and then just take all of North America except Panama (tax haven)

      I picked up on the fairly obvious sarcasm and don’t think you deserve the downvotes.

      If we take Mexico, then all Mexicans will become legal US residents.

      Immigration Problem solved.

      That would be priceless irony for all of those “build a wall” ass hats.

        I say we just deport them anyway after we take Mexico so that we can still use the immigration issues for political… stuff

        They don’t want to take Mexico, just occupy it.

      We already essentially own the important part of Panama anyway.
