Seriously starting to look like they going to try something. Could this turn the global community fully against the US? The lib mental gymnastics is gonna be insane.

    The global community is against the US, because the global community is not just the west. What you are thinking is of full hostility. But I don’t think any of that would happen. I also hope a US invasion of Mexico doesn’t happen. If the US puts boots on the ground here it will probably be done under the guise of anti-narco and shit, and probably would be done so with some loose legality with an agreement with the mexican government. Any unilateral action would be seen, not only by the government, but by the mexican people as a whole (aside from some gusanos that would be happy to give the country to the americans at first sight just like the opposition party PAN) as an act of war and I’m pretty sure we would act accordingly. The US might do a ton of shit here covertly, they have been doing so for decades and everyone knows it, but a full blown invasion would be met with resolute resistance. In the case of the international response to something like that. I’m not hopeful of anything coming against it. I highly doubt any country would be hostile to the US in any significant way as a result of an invasion. For example, neither Russia or China, being the global powers opposed to the US, would be in any position to help Mexico militarily, only diplomatically but even then I doubt it would have any significance. The other “smaller” countries of Latin America or Africa would also not be in a position to present a challenge in case an invasion happens. I fear Mexico would have the loosing end of this exchange and violence would spring again throughout the country as it has done for the last two decades during the war on drugs. Basically, any action in the UN would be fruitless. The US would veto any sanction or resolution. I fear Mexico would be alone if war with the US breaks out as result of this, but I also don’t think it will get to that point. They will just make some joint exercises with the mexican army or something like that to flex the muscle and domestically appear as “doing something” against drug trafficking. I really would like all US comrades to ramp up an anti-war movement because I really really really don’t want the US army invading my country again. Especially when things are starting to get a little less miserable.

      Maybe im too pessimistic but this is definitely the weakest the US has been in my 30 years of living, i wouldnt rule out them trying to re-establish their authority in latin america by a military invasion. Patadas de ahogado como dicen.
