The founding members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 1949 included the United States of America, Dominion of Canada, and several European countries not under the oppression of communism. The treaty allowed expansion only in Europe. Newfoundland joined Canada five days before Canada joined North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and Britain (Bermuda and more), France (Saint Pierre and Miquelon), and Denmark (Greenland) also joined as founding members. The allies therefore perceived no opportunity for further expansion in North America; the European countries desired an alliance for their common defense against communism and not for activities in other continents except French Algeria.
Mexico did not join in 1949 because it then suffered under the oppression of communism, which began during the revolution of 1910 to 1921 and faded into simple corruption in the 1960s through 1990s. The country was quite poor and had little capacity to project military power against anyone other than its own people, who numbered just 27 million.
Notwithstanding the active Partido de la Revolución Democrática, which still advocates effectively communism yet regularly attracts almost a third of the vote, these conditions no longer exist. Mexico effectively forswore atheistic communism certainly with the election of Vincente Fox Quesada in 2000. Mexico now enjoys the status of a free country, albeit one at war against its own drug cartels and narcoterrorists, and a prosperous one too at least under global standards. The country now contains 124 million persons, and its (naturally ultra-left-wing-controlled) capital and its suburbs embrace more than 20 million.
Because Mexico lies outside the European continent, it cannot join North Atlantic Treaty Organization now. But Mexico is now our friend, albeit not a formal military ally, and the future almost certainly will bring closer cooperation, especially if we successfully defeat our drug addictions and their narcoterrorists.
This must mean the Mexican govt. is ready to step aside and let the U.N. rule their country.
Trump needs to have a Fireside chat with the American People. He needs to lay out the facts on all of these illegals and how they are destroying our Country and that is why he ran for office. Along with many other things he is dealing with, like the moles and the Houses wasting time and not supporting His agenda. etc. And do it Pronto the People want to hear it and lay out the people who are obstructing Him. We voted for Him and do not care what Soros, Hillary, Obama and News media does, MOVE US Forward , we will support it.
Spain is a member of NATO. Hispania is/was the center of Hispanics. Spain needs to reach out to Mexico for commonality of culture and hence Mexico (as a country in contact with The Atlantic) should be part of NATO.
You contradicted yourself. Canada isn’t in Europe.
Mexico has never been interested in anything you suggest.
Mexico isn’t our friend, unless you consider invasion and smuggling in as much narcotics and sex slaves into our country as they can to be the actions of a friend.
If you do you’re nuts because those are the actions of a hostile enemy. Our ancestors would be shooting at them by now.
Bookmarked.
Maybe the U.N. should also discuss Mexico’s drug trafficking and human trafficking.
Why didn’t Eisenhower just build the wall? Immigration should have dealt with in the ‘50s. I think Ike really pissed away an opportunity that would have saved us all the headaches we’re having now.
Mexico to go to UN in attempt to block their citizens from returning to Mexico.
And we’ve stopped going to Mexico
Such fools. The jig is up.
Mexico’s days of MOOCHING off the USA are OVER!!
Sorry that I wasn’t clear. Canada and United States of America joined as founding members of North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The organization allows only European countries to join after the founding date. Canada essentially gets grandfathered, but if Canada departs from the alliance, it cannot reenter (unless it acquires part of Europe). Mexico did not join as a founding member and therefore cannot enter (unless it acquires part of Europe).
The narcotics smugglers and sexual slavedrivers enter the United States of America through the southwestern border with Mexico as enemies of these United States and as enemies at war against the weak Mexican government and the Mexican people. The United Mexican States does not constitute a hostile enemy but fights a long-running war against that enemy within her borders. Just as the drug runners and urban gangs of Chicago do not define this country, the narcoterrorists do not define Mexico.
Instead, the United States and Mexico share a common enemy: the narcoterrorists, the drug cartels, and the bankrupt oppressive communist government of Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela that sponsors, supplies, and encourages them. This enemy now ravages much of Central America, driving repeated surges of refugees and other migrants northward toward our border.
I make a distinction between the Mexican government and the friendly Mexican people on the one hand and the narcoterrorists, sexual predators, transnational criminals, and drug cartels that operate in or from Mexico on the other hand. The latter group we must defeat.
Which reminds me - it's time to kick the UN out of the United States.
How bout the U.N. move to Mexico, and the Mexicans can pay the lions share of the U.N. operating budget.
OH how I wish Trump would announce the “humane” “Mexican immigration reciprocity act.” All immigration laws of the humane Mexico, including enforcement provisions, shall be the same in the USA.
Do it! We’ll kick the UN’s ass and then we dive into your sewer and kick yours. The reason all those illegals are in the U.S. is because they had no “human rights” in Mehico.
Yeah, got that. right.
Those brave men of the Alamo must be spinning in their graves- if they had graves..(the Mexicans burned t heir bodies)
