Mexico’s president says ‘there will be no invasion … it’s absolutely off the table’ after news reports of order

Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has rejected the idea that the US might invade Mexico after news reports suggested Donald Trump had authorized the use of military force targeting drug cartels deemed terrorist organizations in Latin American countries.

“The United States is not going to come to Mexico with their military,” she said during a daily news conference on Friday. “We cooperate, we collaborate, but there will be no invasion. It’s off the table, absolutely off the table.”

The Mexican president said her government had been informed of the executive order but insisted that “it had nothing to do with the participation of any military or any institution on our territory. There is no risk that they will invade our territory.”

      Wait, you think white people don’t want to take over the country full of brown people? How do you think Colonialism works?

        Canada is full of brown people…mostly those immigrated recently enough that their citizenship could be declared invalid because ‘reasons’ and forcibly deported back to their ancestral countries.

      Yeah. Usually one would worry about fascists invading countries with an ethnicity they don’t like for Lebensraum, but “fortunately” America has plenty of minorities on its own soil so the Holocaust can be implemented completely domestically.
