The Chechen parliament have threatened to send weapons to Mexico in retaliation to the U.S. Congress calling for defensive lethal aid to be sent to Ukraine.
On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in favour of sending arms - the resolution was passed 348 to 48.
U.S. senator for Wisconsin Ron Johnson branded it "absolutely necessary" that president Obama provide lethal and nonlethal military assistance to Ukraine, in light of the attacks by Russian-backed rebels on civilians in Mariupol in January.
In response, Chechnya's parliamentary speaker Dukuvakha Abdurakhmanov said that the U.S. has "no right" to advise Russia on how to behave with its neighbours.
He warned that the supply of arms to Ukraine will be perceived by Chechnya, a southern Russian republic, as a signal to deliver new weapons to Mexico to "resume debate on the legal status of the territories annexed by the U.S."
Abdurakhmanov is referring to the states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming, which Mexico surrendered to the U.S. in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, a peace deal which concluded the Mexican-American conflict....

We paid gold for those territories. If Mexico wants them back, make an offer.

Didn’t Kaiser Bill make a similar threat back in 1917?
We should just give Mexico its people back.
I thought we had already armed Mexico.
Fast & Furious?

The Zimmerman Letter.
Hmm, wouldn’t going to war with Mexico be the quickest way to secure the border....
Yes - we are holding about a quarter of the Mexican population captive here in the territory once known as “the United States of America”, and we absolutely won’t allow them to return.
Mexico should go to war to free their people being held beyond their jurisdiction. Just think of the human capital that would be freed up if they were finally repatriated.
“Free at last, free at last!”
That means they’ll be arming the cartels.
The difference is we aren’t invading Mexico they are invading us.
The DC crowd voted to send offensive military aid to Ukraine??? I wonder who the Oligarchs will sell that to.
The world is becoming unraveled, and all America’s elected leadership cares about is calling men shooting their seed on each other’s stools “marriage”.
We have a Fifth Column of almost 50 million on this side of that border.
Mexico has been engaged in economic warfare against the US for decades and they’re winning.
The trouble is that most of the people in the country haven’t realized it, the elites are profiting from it and the rest of us are considered nut cases for having figured it out.
LOL.
Good memory on the Kaiser arming Mexico.
We were told in school in 1950 that Mexican school books taught that Mexico would take back the ceded states.
“resume debate on the legal status of the territories annexed by the U.S.”
Mexico gave up all claim to the SW USA, for GOLD when the treaty was signed.
Then the USA approached Mexico and bought more land with the Gadsden Purchase by offering Mexico more GOLD.
