Which is why I quoted you as saying it's lazy. The president of the US has himself stated what the objective is. It's not some hidden CIA plot.
And I didn't say they wouldn't try to do something, but I am calling out for dismissing the issues of people who live there and trivializing their grievances as just the CIA.
OK, but they've seen what the CIA does, and 70% support is not just not enough, but seemingly the reason why CIA would overthrow it. And I don't see how it would be lazy of them to not turn their country into a slave trade.
I think you should re-read what I said and read what others are also saying on the matter.
I did, and I see a lot more agreement with me, and the person you initially responded to, by upvotes and comments.
Moving the conversation to what the US wants and keeping it there is rather dismissive. What the US wants is irrelevant. There are real issues that have nothing with what the CIA may or may not want. Simply saying that the CIA is a destabilizing force is a way to dismiss constructive criticism of what Mexicans want out of their representatives.
Yes, what the USA and CIA want is irrelevant. Sheinbaum approval rating is nearing 80%. What Mexicans want out of their representatives is clear, and USA/CIA need to stay out for once.
