Said it before, but I think the fact that we could have a *war in Mexico* if Trump is reelected should probably feature more prominently in campaign coverage and Biden's case against him.

Dont let Biden find out, he will probably put forth a bipartisan bill to invade Mexico first and ask Trump to help him get it passed.

Why would a U.S. president go to war with its top trade partner? Like, what's in it for the U.S.?

Sadly, I think you overestimate the decency and strategic thinking ability of the American people. For many, even the swing voters we need to reach, this would not be a persuasive reason to not vote for Trump. "The cartels are a problem, of course we should use the military against them." 🙃🙃🙃

We have been fueling Mexican border violence for over 20 fucking years. It is not like Biden is a poster child for detante on this. Hell his fucking Biden plan under Obama for the Northern Triangle was some of the biggest fuel to the fire on all of this.

Sadly, the mainstream media is so locked into the idea that Trump Republicans are isolationists that they can't see this, even though it's obvious.

So profoundly stupid, even from a geopolitical realist perspective. This is how you get military agreements between Mexico and China.

Tbh that's one of his less nuts ideas. If people are dying because of fentanyl from drug lords in Mexico that seems like a valid thing to go after. Offering to cooperate with the Mexican government but not giving them the power of veto seems reasonable. But it wasn't trumps brainchild.

His plan is to use military force to extort Mexico to pay for his border wall. And there's a significantly above zero chance that he'll have the chance to execute that plan. Absolutely incredible.

@kevinmkruse.bsky.social @ryanlcooper.com In all seriousness, tweets *calling for* pieces about this get more RTs than actual pieces about it do. I did a stand-alone piece *interviewing the former Mexican ambassador to the US* about all this and nobody cared.
