Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Gelston]

I'm not actually sure if we even have a formal alliance with Mexico. We have treaties and trade agreements, but we have those with pretty much every nation on this planet. We are in some of the same organizations. I don't think any of them are considered alliances.

[Methais]

Canada is just as close, and I'd argue, a better ally. How many times has Mexico been on our side in a war?

Not to mention Mexico is responsible for way more American sharts than Canada is.

Whether this is a good or bad thing depends on who you ask.

[Back]

Apparently we need to choose better allies.

Its idiotic to not support our bordering neighbor or the states that border them. Our efforts to help them help themselves helps us.

Honduras is in bad shape as is Guatemala.

Mexico has no alliance with the US and has not since WWII when we were mainly importing labor from them in exchange for assurance that we wouldn't try to topple their revolutionary government when we were done fighting Tojo. They aren't part of NATO. The last agreement we had with them to help them help us was to help us help ourselves to the parts of Mexico we wanted to invade and annex in the 1840s.

Canada is one of our closest allies, being both an actual ally, and geopolitically close to us. Mexico, not so much. We already took the parts of that we wanted.

The amount of mental gymnastics required to call me a terrible person for caring about people is pretty impressive. I've been consistent in my core values despite who has been president unlike some people I know. After so many years I'm surprised you haven't realized that by now. Then again, I'm not surprised that you still to this day argue with a persona that you have created in your head that epitomizes everything you think you hate.

Mexico is our closest ally and neighbor. The land we have settled has been shared by people for thousands of years. We are better together rather than building a wall. No one should have to flee harm but if they do they should be allowed free movement and offered aid to help themselves get to a better place. America is the richest country in the world. We have more than enough resources to cover it. America and the allies defeated Hitler and the Nazis. America abolished slavery and has always been at the front line in the battle of people's rights. It is a force of good for all people in the world. It is shameful that we are treating the poorest, weakest, most trodden upon people in this world like animals and not opening our doors to help them help themselves.

FFS, you sound like Grima trying to convince the horse riders that Saruman has always been their closest friend and ally.

How outraged at the lack of support for Israel by its neighboring countries? Asking for sellstuff1.

They should ask Venezuela to help them.. they are the apex of a civilized society after all.

Sure we should support Mexico. I'm not sure how "support Mexico" means allowing millions of their citizens to illegally come into our country nor allowing Mexico to allow millions of citizens from other countries to illegally invade our country.

Does Mexico have to support the US? Or is this friendship yet another one way street that Democrats seem to love so much with hostile and semi hostile nations?

That's a good point.

Hey Back, what should Mexico be doing to support us? And what should we be doing to support Mexico?

Be specific instead of your usual vague meaningless virtue signaling non-responses.
