Yeah, but we’re Mexico’s #1 trading partner in fentanyl and human trafficking.
—”How many billions of dollars to Mexican nationals send home form USA to Mexico?”
A good question.
A: 52 billion.
Russia invades Ukraine to steal their resources, levels small and large cities, kills at least 20,000 Ukrainian civilians and at least 9000 soldiers who were just defending their land.
And you call Ukraine the most corrupt? Have you taken a look at Russia?
“And you call Ukraine the most corrupt? Have you taken a look at Russia?”
They are not alone. Take at look at us - the USA. Trump was our man to clean it up, but now he’s fighting for his life.
Mexico is one of several countries that want in on BRICS. Turkey is another.
We are essentially in Cold War II, with China, Russia, Iran, and a number of Communist and radical Islamic countries aligned against the U.S. and its allies in Europe and East Asia. Unlike Cold War I, it appears that the West has few active supporters in what used to be called the nonaligned nations. China has adopted a form of state capitalism, basically Lenin’s New Economic Plan on steroids. Russia masquerades as a Christian, nationalist country, even as the old KGB and Communist gang remain in power.
What does the US stand for anymore?
Infinite government?
What was the point of starting the war if you don’t like it?
I say build a wall.
“defensive” weapons?
It’s a club and you ain’t in it.
Around $140 to $144 billion a year.
And that’s after these cock roaches get free education, smart phones, welfare, Food Stamps, WIC, and free health care.
It's $51 billion, not 140.
Russian version Might have been safer in the Long Run. There was a story on that in the Lancet. Maybe Mexico could join BRICK? For a weak nation Russia seems to have a lot more sway in the world?
“Imports of Russian goods by Mexico saw a substantial annual increase of more than 20%… In monetary terms, Mexican imports from Russia amounted to $1.193 billion”
So about $200 Million more. Mexico imports more than $200 BILLION from the USA.
I would also point out that the dollar value of Mexican imports from Russia reflects currency exchange rate changes and inflationary price changes, as well as changes in real volume.
Why do we give two craps? What are we the world police? I prefer commodities that are cheap and plentiful. Let Europe take care of Europeans.
it is an indicator of how much influence Biden’s America has on our next door neighbor. A neighbor the US has lifted up and supported in numerous ways over many years.
The Hispanic population in the US is growing fast and and at this rate the white, anglo-saxons will eventually be the minority.
What happens in Mexico can affect what happens in the US.
Of course, especially when the seller is discounting every invoice to the one.
That’s easy, we stand for the worthless dollar.
Now answer this question:
What does the U.S. manufacture today that anyone else in the world would want? Now ask yourself how and why did we get in this position?
