Trump is eager to breach Mexico’s sovereignty to attack cartels, officials say — just don’t call it an invasion
A new directive signed last week by President Donald Trump gives the Pentagon authorization to use military force against Latin American drug cartels designated as terrorist organizations, according to administration sources.
A U.S. official familiar with the matter confirmed to Rolling Stone certain details regarding the Trump-signed directive, which was first reported by The New York Times. Other knowledgeable sources, working in or close to this iteration of the Trump White House, say that unless Mexico gives Trump what he wants, this administration is serious about attacking its neighbor to the south. And according to administration officials and others familiar with the Trump administration preparations, it’s not a bluff: This American president wants to violently breach Mexico’s sovereignty — if and when he feels like it. He, after all, effectively campaigned on doing so during his 2024 bid.
Just don’t call any of this a plan for an invasion, U.S. government officials implore.
Speaking about the new directive, a senior administration official says, “It’s not a negotiating tactic. It’s not Art of the Deal. The president has been clear that a strike … is coming unless we see some big, major changes.”
Wikipedia defines an invasion as:
An invasion is a military offensive of combatants of one geopolitical entity, usually in large numbers, entering territory controlled by another similar entity, often involving acts of aggression.[1]
Attacking Mexico would be an invasion.
Just don’t call any of this a plan for an invasion, U.S. government officials implore.
Go fuck yourself. It’s an invasion.

Zero downvotes, sure says something doesn’t it?

Just another colonial genocide against native peoples
This has nothing to do with the native population, and everything to do with Trump needing a national emergency to distract from everything he is doing, and everything he has previously done.
It’s not looking at the racialized terrorism going on in the United States I strongly disagree
The distractions are getting more ludicrous daily
And then American citizens team up with the cartel.
The DoD draws up attack plans on every country. I would be more surprised if this didn’t exist.
I bet it doesn’t exist for Russia
Yeah, it’s practically an exercise for the operations people. The news is that there’s interest in putting it into action, not the plan itself.
Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump ignores those existing plans and just bum rushes the border, without any logistics whatsoever.
Anything to avoid releasing the Tacostein files.

It’s a Special Military Operation. When the Mustard Mussolini is done fondling Putin’s balls he’ll have him explain how he pulled it off.
Stole this gem from another thread.
Yes, their plans and everything else that evacuates from this turd circus are awful, but bear in mind they’re not very good at anything at all. I’m sure the plan is to land at Belize and drive up in unmarked Penske rental trucks.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Everything right now is just a giant distraction from The You Know What PDF Files
Certainly Vlad gave his fucking sock puppet more advice on the subject during his visit to Alaska.
Wild how true the old trope ‘every accusation is a confession’ holds here, the projection is real.
Trump was arguing in court that we are already being ‘invaded’ by Mexican immigrants, trying to use this as reasoning to justify use of military at the border, among other things like…. Oh I dunno, disregarding constitutional rights of habeus corpus.
He wants a Nobel Peace Prize so badly you can smell the desperation, but Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller wants to murder millions of people so he doesn’t feel like a weak little Jew with a tiny dick, so he’s whispering in HitlerPig’s ear like Wormtongue, and encouraging war.
