The EU needs to start building an army like yesterday. NATO gave the US too much power worldwide.

Is Mexico our Poland?
Yes. If US will add Canada among the countries they will invade, we are on our own. No one will bother helping us if US decided to invade our country. This is pretty much will apply to Mexico too.
Aristegui is indeed considered a solid source as a general consensus, but as with everything, be critical of every source.
No see by fucking them over economically they'll stop people from crossing into the US

Every day I feel more and more like Kif Kroker.
I think this is appropriate then.

If it does get that far, I do hope it happens. But I'm inclined to agree with you, Europe has it's own Alt Reich problem. And besides that many would rather side with fascists than to do the "good and noble thing".
So if it does get that far, I'm sure most of Europe will be under "Fuhrer Frauke and her many fascists friends".

what it's like interacting with somebody with narcissistic personality disorder.
They absolutely cannot from a military point of view without wiping out the entire planet. You are living in a fantasy because you don't like the situation as it is and neither do I. I'm simply telling you where the technical arm of military might is. Do other nations have nukes? Sure, but then the whole planet becomes a melted fireball and everyone loses.
You speak as if a conversation involving trump sounding insane doesn't make it seem more legit XD.
Trump could literally hit the DEFCON button and cause the world to destroy itself and right up to the moment the nuclear fire melted their flesh and disintegrated their bones, his supporters would still applaud his tough decision-making skills. There's nothing he can do at this point that the American population would unanimously disapprove of.

yeah, this is why it was ringing true for me. This is just how NPDs speak, spiteful put downs and all.

Yes, it would be like Russia and Ukraine, no one would stand up for it. And seeing how much Trump is playing by their playbook...

We don't need Mexicans?
That's like saying we don't need salt in our food.

Yeah, I read as much. Apparently the article was penned by a certain Dolia Estevez and I see it's getting a lot of coverage across a number of Mexican sites. This doesn't look good at all.
It is bewildering. It is pure insanity. It really reads like a shakedown. It's just so outright insane it's hard to believe that even Donald Trump would go that far.
It's still more like Russia threatening its neighbors, because they behave badly. If Putin doesn't like someone, he will send in his Little Green Men. But the GDP of the US might take a hit after Trump's "reforms" and because his genius "negotiation skills" and get close to North Korea after all.
Trumps a fucking idiot, but I didn't think he would do something like this. Just adds to the list of horribleness if true.

Wow, I hope that was recorded. Trump is unhinged.
Pretty sure you're not alone in that thought.

And yet the UKs despicable government will still brush this all under the carpet in the name of a good trade deal.

No, he just threatened to. Totally not a big deal at all.
Also this is Trump, so, don't count your eggs just yet.
Which they won't get because their economy is massively inferior to that of the US, also they will be way too busy negotiating with the EU to even have enough negotiators to workout a deal within trump presidency (lets assume he just gets 4 years).
Hm, how many times have i heard that in the past months.

I refuse to have a "special" relationship with a racist sex-pest. How the fuck has that mentality become a minority in my nation?

Mexico needs to stand strong, don't give into his bullying. Help sane America put the current iteration of the GOP into the dustbin of history where it belongs.
"Guys he's not going to......" is one of my most hated posts in Trump threads. Just saying. You are welcome to your opinion but I have heard this for the last year and it is usually wrong. Go look at old Trump threads for yourself.
He's not going to get the nomination.
He's not going to win the election.
He's not going to ban muslims.
He's not going to invade Mexico.
Guys he's not gonna enact a Muslim ban.
Guys he's not gonna repeal Obamacare.
Guys he's not gonna let Bannon run the country.
Jesus.

They probably will get a good deal with the US because Trump is the type of guy that if you flatter him and play his game he will probably give you what you want lol.
Trump is not invading Mexico lololol.

The government would implode before that. It's not happening. Trump is an narcissist idiot, but he's beholden to the powers that be.
But if the reports are true, that could very well be the biggest, most grotesque breach of diplomacy ever committed by the POTUS.

Basically means "temper tantrum," right?
I think some people just like to roll their eyes and feel superior, even though they get proven wrong time and time again. That middle man soap box feels so good. They can't resist.
I mean we've said a lot of things couldn't happen. At this point anything seems on the table.

In relation to this event specifically why do you wail on your president in the first line? Trump is unhinged, not knowing what to say I reckon is a healthy reaction.
You wanted him to say what he thought; " fuck You mr trump" and have this crazy guy send in an army or destroy a whole economy to repair his ego?
We are all appeasing trump now - there isn't much choice until the GOP stand up to him.

Right? 😐
When the current polls state the numbers that are in favour of Trump's series of acts, you have to consider it a problem with the country and not just the government. I don't see this train stopping before it actually is wrecked either by outsiders or equally significant, civil war. And a bit OT but either one will provide ample opportunity to Russia to further its expansionist policy without much intervention.
Very respected. Dolia Estevez is the source though and she is a writer for Forbes
