Depends on your belief system.

Mediocrity would be funny if it wasn't tragic.

" United States has a trade surplus of $7.3B with Spain. Exports reached $27.8B while imports totaled $20.5B, reflecting United States's dominant position in bilateral trade."

Interesting... cut trade wth Spain... why?... is it because some of them look Mexican?

Whatevaaaaaah... Spain has had trading agreements with China for 450 years or more... currently the largest trading partner outside the EU... China appreciates a good customer... and owns significant portions of the US and Canada... soooooo

Besides... The 13 colonies were the leftovers from the European conquests of the New World.

I don't think you can scare those Spanish folks with bluster... they invented it... in Espanol.

a pelcula es a las once... adios chupaderos

You don't know 90% of Mexicans are Spanish.

They kicked out the Muslims, they can't be all bad.

The issue is that Spain, is freeloading, not paying their fair share, which is ironic given all the socialist in their government.

They are the least affected by Russia, so why should they care if Poland is over run? Sign them up for more Russian oil when its all said and done..

Yup. Trumpy loves the uneducated like OneNut. And OneNut wants to be loved by the uneducated Trumpy!

They are Mestizo.

The majority of Mexicans are Mestizo, meaning they share a rich, mixed genetic heritage of both Indigenous ancestors and European colonizers.

Before Spanish colonization, millions of Indigenous people (like the Nahua, Maya, and Zapotec) populated the region. Features like tan skin, dark hair, and brown eyes are dominant traits inherited directly from these Indigenous Mexican Tribes.

ONEIRONAUT -
You ought to thank DONNER. He let you down easy on your absurd lie about the population of Mexico, while generously adding to your minuscule store of actual knowledge.

Another interesting part of that story..

The Aztecs (properly called the Mexica) believed they came from a northern paradise called Aztlan. Following a prophecy from their war god, they journeyed south for hundreds of years. They finally built their great capital, Tenochtitln, where they saw an eagle eating a snake while perched on a cactus.

Historians believe Aztlan may be located somewhere in northern Mexico or the U.S. Southwest, though its exact location remains a mystery.

I think you mean GUARDIANS. They're the Guardians now. 90% of all Mexicans are Spanish, live in Cleveland and look like Steven Kwan.
