Why would any American go down there anyway? Mexico is, at best, a semi-failed state, like China was from the 1920's-the first half of the 1930's, and Mexico is worried about some stupid virus? If anything, those psychopathic drug cartels are FAR more deadly to the country then anything else they have to fear.

And anyway, if they have so many problems as it is, why would they want the Coronavirus on top of them? Of COURSE they're worried about it.

It absolutely is a straw man in the context of this discussion. You questioned why any American would go to Mexico, and I answered. And you responded with a change of direction to “prove” your point that Mexico is a “failed state.”Rhedosaurus wrote:Pointing out that a nation's army got beat by a drug cartel is not throwing out a straw man at all, but pointing out how weak it's government is.
I didn’t even say anything about the Mexican government.
I did say that it seems like your opinion is Mexico only harbors violent criminals. I’m aware of the massive problem with drug cartels and violent crime. However, there are still literally millions of law-abiding citizens that live there, which was essential to my point that there are many reasons why Americans travel to Mexico.

There’s a difference between a country having a right to bear arms and a country that is actively being humiliated in an ongoing war with drug cartels because AMLO insists on following a policy of “hugs not bullets” even as the Mexican military was routed by a couple hundred armed cartel members in December

It doesn't help that the semi-Stalinist junta that took over Mexico in the mid 1930's and ruled the country until 2000 enacted strict gun control to avoid being overthrown. This explains why the civilians are at the mercy of the drug lords and their armies of psychopaths.

The recent corona virus has (understandably) been the focus of most media coverage. Despite that:

Honestly NK needs to go. They’ve needed to go for years, but trump pretended to be friendly with them and they’ve begun trying to intimidate japan. They’ve been given repeatedly chances for a diplomatic out, but it’s getting more and more ridiculous.

The only real options we have left are diplomacy or “maximum pressure;” the military option is pretty much off the table and has been since the minute they got nukes, and out of the kitchen since they gained the ability to hit the US. The only real chance we really had to take them out was back in the 90s - when their Soviet patrons were gone and before the Chinese had really taken up that role, before they got their nukes and when they were weak from floods and famine - and even then the Clinton administration decided the risks were too great.LSD Jellyfish wrote:Honestly NK needs to go.

I was for half of that much a la loans, but the other half is indefensible. We didn't need to pass a behemoth. We could have done a 3 year tax holiday instead. Not only that, but those poorly run passenger airline industries deserve to go down. Remember how GM and Cheytser didn't change much corporate wise after Obama bailed them out?Destoroyah of Worlds wrote:Good lord.
