    Strange that hypothetical hasn't happened. Perhaps it is because Mexico isn't interested in being defended from US invasion by China. Let me know if that changes.

    Man, you must be mad we still live in a country with slavery, since nothing has changed since 1823 at all.

    More likely because China is the antithesis of a warmongering US.

    So in other words, "Sweep the leg."

    Wow, then you would think they would want peaceful China to stop that horrible warmongering country to their North from invading them. Let me know when they ask for that assistance.

    More likely the US just hasn’t gotten around to Mexico yet. Besides, Americans need Mexico’s drugs.

    I would support increased attacks on Russia military infrastructure. I don't think targeting civilian populations or even civilian infrastructure is a good idea. We can be better than that. Just because Russia is low-life scum does not mean others have to be.

    Oh, they didn't notice that massive country to their south? Okay then. Even more reason for Mexico to go ask that wonderful and peaceful country of China to defend them. Has that happened yet?

    Mexico had to get in line behind behind Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen and lots of other places.

    Also, stop saying “Wow.” You’re not fooling anyone with your feigned incredulity.

    Wow, strange that the horrible country just violently attacking countries decided to invade countries half way around the world rather than their country immediately to the south. Wow. You really are making the case for Mexico to ask that very peaceful and magnanimous country China to defend them. You really should take this great idea to them. Let me know how it goes. I'm sure I will be incredulous at the results.

    Oil depots, bridges, rail are reasonable targets too. Logistics disruption can be phase 1 of shaping the field

    Hackers posted airwave warnings across parts of Russia yesterday. Creative way to bring the war home to them. Amplified sound of war at Russian embassies and foreign business associates would be another creative option if it didn't get you killed

    And the irony (The Great Irony) is they ALREADY posess 40% of the entire earths land surface. But no, they want Western Europe to make the Czar happy.

    Let me know how your proposal to the Mexicans for peaceful China to defend them from that horrible country about to invade them goes. I'm absolutely sure it will be received with the proper reverence for such an expert and we'll thought-out take on global affairs.

    Meanwhile, more countries are asking to be let into NATO.

    73 y.o.a., got to love him.


    "A 73-year-old in Oslo gave Russian diplomats a rude awakening by blasting a siren outside their bedroom windows on the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to a local report.

    On Friday night at around 2.30 a.m. local time, Kjetil Krane carried a loudspeaker out to an apartment block known to house workers at Oslo's Russian embassy, Nettavisen reported.

    Standing in the freezing cold, Krane played the sound of a Japanese foghorn, which bears a striking resemblance to an air-raid siren, according to the outlet. Over the past year Ukrainian civilians have had to shelter in fear during Russian air raids, which frequently strike residential areas as well as military targets.

    In a video shared by Nettavisen, Krane can be seen wearing a T-shirt that says "wake a Russian" in Norwegian as a newly-awoken resident peers out of a window."

    And yet, for some reason, lots of countries are asking to join NATO and nobody is asking for that Chinese military alliance. Strange that.
