Now, imagine the reason was to prove you aren’t just powerful on paper but can really back it up…

It would be so fitting for the Russians to desire conquest and domination and a show of strength so deeply that when failing to be sufficiently powerful with conventional warfare they would end civilization to not have to accept it. It’s the orc state of mind.

A Mexico invasion would look very similar to Vietnam. The only people that lose are Mexican civilians. Cartels would be able to seize even more power than they already have. The population would be entrenched and destroy us with guerilla ware fare tactics.

Lol! A better comparison would be the US in the Middle East.
You think Russia isn’t motivated by full control of oil production?
Of course you don’t. “Daddy Government” convinced you this is a war about freedoms.

Christ. Really just going all out to defend genocide, huh?

Yup. That’s exactly what I said!

Impossible, we’d take Mexico in just 3 days. It won’t even be a war, just a special military operation in the region. They’ll probably welcome our troops when they come through anyhow.
what do you mean they’re fighting back?
