Mexico will never tolerate an invasion of its national sovereignty by the United States, President Claudia Sheinbaum warned Thursday after Washington designated Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

“This cannot be an opportunity for the U.S. to invade our sovereignty,” she said. “With Mexico it is collaboration and coordination, never subordination or interventionism, and even less invasion.”

On Wednesday, the Trump administration formally labeled eight cartels as terrorist groups. They include Mexico’s two main drug trafficking organizations, the Jalisco New Generation and Sinaloa cartels.

    The Mexican government is unable to control its own borders. Cartels rule with impunity within the country. Only a corrupt Mexican government bought by the cartels would oppose intervention.

      Lol the border control issue is a yank problem. Yanks are the customer amigo. Cartels are the result of that problem. Cartels are fucked but they are operating in the the united States just as well as they do in Mexico. I hope you can see what is right there before you…

      Do you know/remember who Donald Rumsfeld was? “Welcome us as liberators.” How did that go? And how long did it go for? And how much “blood and treasure” was wasted? And what did it get the average united States citizen?

      Yanks should be opposed to a foreign invasion because yanks can’t win wars and haven’t in DECADES. They are expensive and once soldiers get a hold of a good taco, they will lay down their arms chingado.

      Like I almost want to see it happen just to see how badly it would go for the yank invaders. Darwin award levels of stupidity.

      The American government is unable to control its own healthcare. Oligarchs rule with impunity within the country. Only a corrupt American government bought by the oligarchs would oppose intervention from Europe.

      Make America European Again!
