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 .

I always felt that the only way the US would change for the better is through war on US soil. I do not want that to happen but considering the history of that country, it’s the only language that is listened to. I probably sound terrible, but I just do not know how else to word this.
There are like 40 million of Mexican diaspora living in the US and I doubt they’d kindly accept an attack on their home country. We’re talking about over 10% of the US population. The threat of civil unrest is larger than the US has ever seen. Not that it will stop Trump but fighting a war with a border nation, possibly fighting a war with Europe, doing whatever they are doing in South America and the Middle East all at once seems like a bit too much, even for the US.
Unrest is one word for it. No military has ever had a good time fighting against guerillas, and if the US kicks off against Mexico it’s going to be a campaign with the guerillas pre-infiltrated all over the US.
That’s assuming the narcos are independent from the USA. In reality, they are literally the imperialist hunting dogs that eliminate anything that hinder capitalist exploitation.
A good book to understand my point is
Not talking about just the narcos, I mean all the Mexicans as well.
