In a new act of military interference and interventionism , US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that his country is about to begin "ground" attacks in Mexican territory under the pretext of fighting drug cartels .
The US president's announcement came days after the US was set to launch a military attack against Venezuela and kidnap President Nicolás Maduro along with First Lady Cilia Flores.
Hours after the US military operation against Venezuela, Donald Trump stated that Mexico, as well as Cuba and Colombia, could be Washington's next targets .
Furthermore, he declared his intention to "do something about Mexico ," asserting, without presenting any evidence, that drug cartels are in power in the country .
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has responded to Donald Trump's interventionist statements by arguing that Mexico is a sovereign country and that her administration is committed to a peaceful solution .
In turn, Claudia Sheinbaum urged people to advocate for "collaboration, coordination, but not subordination . "
Since the beginning of his second term, Trump has maintained an interventionist and military agenda in the region under the argument of combating drug trafficking .

Even Maduro's VP is still trying to talk about peace! At this point it should be abundantly clear to everyone that Trump/The US cannot be reasoned with.
Even Lenin signed a treaty, Brest-Litovsk, handing control of Ukraine and Finland over to Germany because he knew the Red Army was in no position to fight them. Russia lost a third of its land, most of its industry, nearly all its coal, and much of its railways. Lenin's thought was it is better to take the hit to keep the movement alive; Trotsky disagreed and thought they should keep fighting to give European countries time to revolt.
Genuine question though what other choice does Venezuela realisticly have. i dont think they can realisticly strike the United States in retaliation.
Honestly, they have to work on their defence and not try to hit back to score a political point. The air defence does fuck all and are a waste of precious money if the systems aren't secure, if the personnel aren't secure, communication systems etc. If CIA agents are all over the country, they are vulnerable to the next thing.
the US has them surrounded by military bases and naval ships, the fuck are they supposed to do
They just got their President stolen, their entire damn guard was murdered, their weapons systems were hacked, and over 80 are left dead, there’s nothing for one to do after that point besides try and calm the fuck down or panic will ensue. There’s no realistic scenario where directly fighting the US ends well, what I would recommend is pulling out of non-proliferation deals and reinforcing ALBA and the union of South America (or at least, friendly states), into a direct ‘attack on one is an attack on all’ move.
not the same thing. Rodriguez saying they want peace is not giving ground. Would you prefer she call on us to bomb them to hell? She is still demanding the return of Maduro and saying he is the president.
