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.

      As a Mexican immigrant living in the United States for almost 8 years now, if that happens I go to my Mexico Mágico, fuck this cultural cleanse culture.

      Approx. 200 years ago Mexico was in a similar position to what the United States used to portray until not too long ago, a pluricultural melting pot of different cultures from all over the world… It had just declared its independence from Spain in 1821, the 5 de Mayo war a few years later, brought French men who decided to stay after losing, Persian or Arabian immigrants brought what came to be the Taco Al Pastor, German immigrants residing in the port of Mazatlán brought the brass instruments, that now make up the regional music known as Banda, and the indigenous culture of the country combined with the influx of migrants developed one of the most intriguing and acclaimed cuisines in the world. Is the United States just gonna be like the UK 200 years from now?

    And… How do we plan on stopping them? Our militia is controlled by the same narcos and so is the goverment (also the national guard barely has any armament or training).

    The first thing that comes to mind is allowing the narcos to defend themselves while turning a blind eye to it and alerting them whenever it’s possible.

    Being real… We as a country are expendable to the world, the last president made sure to empty the arks and the current one was ordered to keep them empty and dismantle the constitution, if the USA decides to attack we are sitting ducks.

    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?
