It probably is the answer, though I’m not familiar with that particular bit of history. I know we executed a joint invasion of Mexico and thoroughly handed the powerful, organized Mexican Army their asses, but I’m not clear on the “after” part of that.
The major additional variable I see now is a significant portion of the Mexican population (and a not-too-small portion of our own) seems to think Mexicans deserve as much of our freebies as they want...for some reason. How does that impact the strategy?
Unlike the fool who started this thread, I think our power alone is enough to stop any assault by an inferior country like Mexico.
The problem we have is, like the Middle East, we refuse to exercise that power.
When we do not use it, we are a punching bag and taken advantage of.
I am tired of that happening and am awaiting a true leader who will not take it.
I see that in Trump and Cruz, but no others(especially the Jeb Bushes of the world).
I also refer to this article today posted.
