American troops "pulled up on a Mexican beach" and created a "terrifying standoff," according to a new report.According to at least one news report, "American troops pulled up on a Mexican beach in a dramatic escalation of tensions after Donald Trump threatened to bomb the country.""US 'contractors'...
Bah. I accidentally invaded America during Basic training. The other side of that long swathe of clearing was cooler, so we walked there.
Wow, did we get in trouble when we all found out we actually invaded.
Did you hammer signs into the ground claiming that territory for your country? Had your country recently made military threats against American sovereignty, and had your country’s military recently killed 76 citizens of a country near America in extrajudicial slayings while claiming that they were doing the same things you’re threatening America over?
It’s hardly a similar situation to that right now. Tensions are high, America is a serious threat.
Mexico and Venezuela are approximately one Mexico away from each other. They aren’t really that near to one another. The rest of your point stands but the Americas are really fucking big.
The similarity lies in what accusations the Americans are slinging, not their physical proximity.
I’d suggest that wandering over a border by accident and then back again wouldn’t really be considered an invasion…
