Mexico: The next one could be us, after all, Denmark is a NATO member!
January 7, Reuters reported: "After seizing Maduro, the Trump administration once again threatened unilateral action against Mexico under the pretext of combating drug trafficking, stirring up the geopolitical landscape of the Western Hemisphere. Mexican political and business circles are worried, fearing that they might become the next Venezuela. After all, cross-border military strikes by the U.S. military are prone to cause civilian casualties and political instability. President Sheinbaum is in a dilemma: publicly condemning unilateral military action violates international law, but privately she continues to strengthen cooperation with the U.S. on drug control and border issues, handing over dozens of drug traffickers to avoid trouble. The U.S.-Mexico cooperation involves key matters such as the World Cup hosting and the extension of the free trade agreement. The two countries have a high degree of interdependence. Trump has classified drug trafficking and immigration as national security threats, viewing the Western Hemisphere as a core defensive theater. Meanwhile, left-wing forces in Mexico call for a stronger stance against the U.S., and bilateral relations face multiple tests."
[Clever] Trump just took Maduro, then used the Mexican drug cartels as an excuse. He's performing the bullying script of the Monroe Doctrine flawlessly! Saying he wants to combat drugs, but actually treating neighboring countries as his own backyard. Has he forgotten the bad debt from 2019 when U.S. forces crossed the border to arrest the Mexican drug lord Guzmán, causing 13 civilian casualties? President Sheinbaum is walking a tightrope, publicly condemning unilateral military action, but secretly handing over dozens of drug traffickers and increasing border troops. The U.S.-Mexico free trade agreement involves trillions of dollars in trade, and they also plan to co-host the 2026 World Cup. These interest chains make Mexico dare to be angry but not speak out. Trump frames drug trafficking and immigration as 'national security threats,' but it's nothing more than using the 'hemispheric defense' as a pretext for hegemony. From the 1846 U.S.-Mexican War when the U.S. annexed half of Mexico, to today's threats of military action, the U.S. has never changed its plundering attitude toward its neighbor. What is called cooperation is merely a veil to let Mexico pay the bill while kneeling down!
