Sheinbaum's hardline stance Saturday signaled that U.S. pressure for unilateral military intervention would put her and Trump on a collision course after months of cooperation on immigration and trade.

"We can work together, but you in your territory and us in ours," Sheinbaum said.
Bueno.

Doubt most folks living north of the US-Mexico border appreciate the degree to which the sagas of both nations are linked to one another, usually with the bottom line being Mexico getting screwed over one way or another. (Displaying the Alamo flag at Mexico City's Museo Nacional de las Intervenciones is small-beer consolation, albeit a sweet twist.). Trump is the very embodiment of a stereotypical loudmouthed, arrogant, and ignorant gringo incapable of showing actual respect to or for Mexican sensibilities. As is so often the case, Trump's is a deeply stupid idea and Sheinbaum is running rings around him. Eventually, I'm afraid he will realize something of that and turn on her, which is when the deeply stupid will really kick in.

Hi Doc: To appease the Dotard and avoid tariffs, President Sheinbaum already violated her country's constitution by extraditing several narco-traffickers to the US. And Trumpf's timing with this proposal to violate Mexico's sovereignty was almost perfect as tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo.

Envy is one of the seven deadly sins and I'm guilty of this peccadillo. Mexicans and Canadians elected sane and mature adults to lead them while we must suffer with the American Apollyon.

Why wouldn't she have wanted America occupying her country?

While we're at it, Mexico can become the 53rd state.

Canada being the 51st and Greenland being the 52nd.

Puerto Rico and Washington DC can wait their turns.

Trumpf's chutzpah is intergalactic. Earlier this year the Dotard denied Mexico's polite request for the US to share some water with Tijuana: globalnews.ca

LOL. Canada just re-elected the party that brought them 15 years of no growth. Mexico is a failed narco-state and will likely see their economy crushed after Trump stops Mexican auto imports. Both Mexico South and Snow Mexico have voted to make their people even poorer.

RE: #7

If true, they are following USA's lead.

"Mexico is a failed narco-state"

What would it take to make them a successful narco state?
Sounds like they need to do some Supply-Side Economics.

Oh, those US soldiers are coming. Of course, when they get there they will face an adversary perhaps better armed than Hezbollah, except for the missiles and drones--but those can be sourced easily...

You're trying much too hard, SCOTT. Like you're frightened of something.

I don't really expect your alias to post here later than September.

LOL. And you know what? Trump did that.

The Canadians want their own nationality a hell of a lot more than they want "people" like you running their country.

yep - thanks to Zelensky and braindead Joe Biden for shipping weapons to Ukraine with zero accountability. But hey, Zelensky has a $35M home in Miami so he is fine with it.

Fascists like to say this sort of thing about anyone they hate.

Would you like me to make you a list?

Both Mexico and Canada know they are better off not being ruled by fascists.

Only fascists think they are better off being run by fascists.

If Canada is so great, why don't you move back there? Canadians are exactly like Mexicans - constantly bitch about the USA but never in a millions years do you want to actually move back. That is why we need to deport people like you. For Snow Mexico, we could have a giant catapult and when you arrive in Snow Mexico, you land in a giant tub of maple syrup.

You can shut your mouth about growth.
