You know the country that is actively invading ours.
Iran is a pain in the ass but they haven't been a true threat in years meanwhile Mexico has launched an attempt to reconquer the land they sold us.

Even that probably isn't necessary. Our own government wants the illegals. Even a small bit of genuine push back could stop it.
If the mexican government started developing nukes I'd support bombing to prevent that.
In terms of intervention not related to nuclear proliferation in Mexico, we could justify destroying every cartel that the CIA funded as cleaning up problems our own government created for the mexican people. But a ground war isn't worth getting into in either Iran or Mexico.
I wouldn't be a fan, as I think there are better ways, but that would at least be more understandable than this nonsense.
Offensive or defensive strikes on our neighboring countries for national protection and our legitimate national interests is a much better use of force than...this shit that Trump is spinning up.
Also, for the record yet again, absolutely fuck Tulsi Gabbard. She's up to her skunk hair in this shit.
You have been crying about Trump doing EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD SINCE 2016 about Iran and nuclear proliferation while also insinuating that a nation run by a homicidal cult priest that believes in holy war (and wants the US destroyed) should just be allowed to develop nukes.
Your credibility on matters of military force, strategy and ethics is nil to anyone witnessing your freakout.
When it comes to nuclear weapons technology there is nowhere on earth that is not "neighboring country" range.
No country on earth is capable of being a realistic conventional threat to the US at present. That changes instantly when nukes are involved, because they no longer need to fight us to cause harm. A nuclear device detonated in the upper atmosphere could cause mass chaos without even being able to strike the US.
Nuclear proliferation is a much more severe national security threat than the cartels. Dealing with the cartels would have been much more justified than our waste of time and life, for profit police actions in the middle east. On that aspect of things you are correct. But your unceasing histrionics about striking nuclear facilities is making you look like a fool.
You can start screeeing when we actually get into another useless "war" that we aren't allowed to win. But Trump doesn't seem to be interested in doing that. If he does, by all means start the waterworks again. But he litterally warned them days in advance, allowed them to move their people out of the way, then destroyed their enrichment facility. That is the most restrained possible response to Iranian nuclear development.
Israel.
Maybe India.
Outworld should be hit a couple times too.
somebody is forgetting the new president of mexico is a yenta and that our jewish government will never attack members their tribe soooo there....
Are we calling the cartels a foreign government now? Just asking for clarification
You should watch "Narcos". The cartels tell the government what to do.
That's kinda my point. If we're just going to openly admit it or not is the question
Point taken.
There is a mountain difference between actions, airstrike or otherwise, against the nation literally touching you and one that is the complete otherside of the world.
I don't give a single rat's ass about the guy across town's lawn or what he does with it. My neighbor's means a whole lot to me.
Sold? The Mexican Cession was taken after a war of aggression based on false pretenses. I'm not saying 'give it back' or anything, but let's not pretend here.
The borders of Europe never once changed due to a "war of aggression" eh?
Every acre of arable land has changed hands due to violence at some time.
Am I going to demand Pembina back? The Northwest Angle? We didn't even get money for those like Mexico did. Yes, the treaty saw America pay them for the land. Half of what had been offered earlier 😊 but losing a war will do that.
