President Claudia Sheinbaum also said Mexico will expand its legal action against U.S. gun manufacturers following the decision to designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

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.

    So from what I can tell, here is all of the places Trump has threatened either directly or indirectly to send the U.S. military since taking office in January:

    Greenland
    Panama
    Gaza
    Canada
    Ukraine
    Mexico

    Did I forget any? I realize the U.S. has one of the biggest militaries in the world, but I think maybe he’s going to stretch them a bit thin?

    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.

    I deeply hope none of this happens. But if it does I hope the cartels destroy the invading US forces.

        The US is shit at fighting guerilla armies despite exclusively doing so for the last 60 years. You make the mistake of invading Mexico, shit on the US side starts blowing up. Mexico won’t assist the US, and if they start really sanctioning the US that’s pretty much it for motor vehicles in the military. If China takes the opportunity to then sanction the US that’s it for military drones and quite a lot of the air force.

        Logistics and manufacturing wins engagements and wars, and other countries control both in the US.

        Broooo have I got news for you. … the cartels already operate in the USA and do so quite unobstructed. They will kidnap, torture and kill, then release the tiktok.

        And then once the trump cronies and the unending greed get a little taste of the blood money, it fucking over.
