Russia and the US are leagues apart in terms of military capabilities.

Would Mexico have the same financial and material backing as Ukraine has received?

Strategically it’s far easier for the US to roll over the border and secure a neighbouring country compared to the logistics of supplying an occupation force abroad.

It’s not like they’re under any real threat of losing, and actors can already launch attacks from inside of the US without sharing a border.

And if your objective is annexation of land, well you generally do need to look at your borders unless you want some weird remote colony/not-colony like Gibraltar.

Right, but why is anyone concerned with if it’s easier to hit America back?

The issue here isn’t that Mexico might strike back, it’s that the US might invade.

Why is that a meaningful distinction?

“Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office, in the minds of Latinos it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers,” said CNN data chief Harry Enten on Monday.

Enten pointed out that Trump was nearly tied with 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris with Latinos on immigration, where the former vice president enjoyed a 2 percentage-point advantage over Trump in October 2024.

Now, Trump has a -38 net approval rating with Latinos on immigration.

Not sure, but it apparently wasn’t an issue a a year ago for them.

Fuck the ADL and the hateful bullshit they spew. Disgusting Zionist group should be outlawed.

This is state capitalism. Words have meaning, it’s not “no true Scotsman” simply because you’re using the wrong word.

commies hated free speech, they hated free markets, they had ample corruption, cronyism, and were full of contradictions and human rights violations.

That sounds like America these past few years.

So she’s still out there pandering to right wing voters? No wonder she lost.

Any time they get accused of something, you can bet they’ll start calling others it shortly after.

Every time they accuse others of something unprompted, you can bet they have already done it .

Who is this Lindsey that apparently has Trumps ear?

What’s the historical rate for their other responses to gun control attempts?

I suspect if they really wanted to, they could.

Having arms is rather handy.

And software like Lemmy and PieFed would become nonexistent because they can’t afford to meet the regulatory capture.

This would be disastrous for us as users of software and would only benefit the big companies.

Or a rats anus.

We have always been at war with East Grok.
