The head of the legislature in Russia's Chechnya region says that Russia will provide arms to Mexico if Washington supplies weapons to Ukraine.
Chechen Parliament Speaker Dukvakha Abdurakhmanov said the arms would be aimed at reigniting U.S.-Mexican disputes over “territories annexed by the United States in the American states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and part of Wyoming.”
“We will perceive arms shipments to Ukraine as a signal to respond in kind,” Abdurakhmanov said in a March 24 statement posted on the Chechen parliament’s website.
Abdurakhmanov is a close associate of Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed strongman who rules Chechnya.
Prominent U.S. lawmakers have called on U.S. President Barack Obama to supply Ukraine with weapons they say will allow Kyiv to protect its territory against Russian-backed separatists.
The Obama administration has resisted the calls, saying the move could result in greater bloodshed between Ukrainian forces and the separatists in a conflict that has killed more than 6,000 people since April 2014.
Tell the “Reconquista” crowd Gen. Santa Ana and Mexico should not have seized and stolen millions of dollars of American properties, then refused for decades to pay the agreed upon reimbursements for the resulting damages while claiming poverty, and then used its army to invade the United States with the avowed objective of conquering the City of New Orleans and the U.S. Louisiana Territory. In the 19th Century such belligerent acts of conquest could result in the conquest of the aggressor’s territories.
The Russia mafia which has a major presence in Mexico and our borders would not like this.
The mexican mafia gets most of there weapons from Solntsevskaya Bratva , a russian mafia organization that operates worldwide and there specialty is arms trafficking

Well, don’t neglect “The Rest of the Story”
We did not keep all of the territory we occupied.
We did not install a puppet in Mexico City.
We did not keep an occupation force garrisoned in Mexico.
We did not seize the property of, and deport, Mexican citizens living in the territories we claimed; they were given the choice to become Americans or go back to Mexico, and most stayed, and became Americans.
...
There’s a raft of stuff we DIDN’T do that we COULD have done, and WOULD have if it had been our intent to illegitimately claim land. What we did keep you can consider “paid for” and/or kept as penalty for prior illegal aggressions and non-performance to agreed-upon terms of payment.
Yeah, there’s quibbling to be entertained about how much land we kept for what we paid, which included the war debt we eradicated on Mexico’s behalf, but the central point stands undiminished: we drew a line at the southern extents of disputed lands, and gave everything south of that back to Mexico.
In sum, the resolution to all that comes closer to “Just and Fair” than pretty much anything else that’s been a point of international conflict in the last 200 years; it’s far from being first in line for condemnation.
I doubt Russia wants to keep Ukraine -- the poor man of Europe -- as its permanent ward. But for its own security Russia's must demilitarize Ukraine and keep it out of NATO. Moscow knows that NATO in Ukraine is an existential threat to Russia, and any major war on its border justifies the use of any weapon in its arsenal. Meddling is dangerous.
