Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

My guess would be loads of bombs, drones and unnecessary suffering
Mind you, this wouldn't be anything different from the three day operation in Ukraine.
The results wouldn't be the same as Ukraine, there is no way that Mexico can defend itself against the US but...
We got boat loads of Narcos there with US special forces training and guns supplied by the US and they know the territories like the back of their hands
Sounds familiar? If anyone though Afghanistan nwas bad, wait until the first load of US soldiers are hanging from bridges or star in beheading videos, because that is what will happen when the US invades Mexico.
That doesn't even begin to talk about what Mexicans on US soil could pull off.
The US would destroy Mexico, that's for sure, because that is what the US does best, pretending it comes to liberate while absolutely devastating the country they invade, then it gets it's ass handed back.
México would destroy the US in kind. Not by conquering it or something, but by similar guerilla tactics that have been used in Afghanistan, etc. the amount of US soldiers coming back in coffins, combined nwith attacks on US soil will kill this joke of a presidency
