A war with Mexico will not get us anything. It’s preposterous.
Let me add two more preposterous items to your one.
It’s “preposterous” to just do nothing.
Here’s just 5 comparison facts militarily between the US and Mexico:
Fighter/Aircraft 1,914 to 3
Airpower (# of Aircraft) 13,300 to 468
Military Budget 761 billion to 6.5 billion
Air Transport 962 to 46
Aerial Tankers 568 to 0
So, another “preposterous” fact is that there can never be a WAR with Mexico. There CAN BE a few battles but NOT WAR.
We need to apply some limited use of force (Israel could teach us a few things about that.). The Narco State Mexico is killing tens of thousands of our citizens each year...with intent and costing US taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. Doing “NOTHING” is just not an option.
A war with Mexican cartels is likely have a much more positive outcomes than a war with Russia 5000 miles away overseas to save the Ukrainian crooks.
“A war with Mexico will not get us anything. It’s preposterous.”
It would get us the Baja peninsula....
That’s something!
