I don't know if that can be fixed. A new constitution might help, which might require a revolution, which might be what is happening. I suspect the Catholic Church is tangled up in this, which is going to make finding a solution extra difficult.Chuck Pergielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473338620167201696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-75294413191809547382019-10-24T17:07:45.635-05:002019-10-24T17:07:45.635-05:00I've been telling people how effed up Mexico w...I've been telling people how effed up Mexico was since 2005.<br /><br />When it shows up in L.A., Chicongo, or NYFC, they still don't notice, nor care.<br /><br />Maybe when it's everyday in Kansas City or Asheville, they'll pay attention.<br /><br />And when it really completely melts down there, 80M of them will be moving north.

The need of normals for better self-defense is a big reason the Dem media don't want to cover this story.<br /><br />On the other hand, the people of Mexico need to understand that they've been voting for corrupt politicians who are willing to accept gang control of illegal drugs and other activities. They vote for corrupt pols because they, as voters, are also corrupt.<br /><br />Corrupt voters want to get benefits from Other People's Money.<br />Corrupt politicians want to get benefits from taxpayer's money.<br />Pretty similar.<br /><br />Kind of silly to support anti-corruption on politicians, while always being in favor of selfish corruption.<br /><br />Tom Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15046612425809449502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-26586167027613965962019-10-22T17:49:53.891-05:002019-10-22T17:49:53.891-05:00We should take over mexico. we might do some good...We should take over mexico. we might do some good there instead of Afghanistan or Iraq or Iran or Syria.

The last update to the plan, before the start of WWII and the post-war scrapping of the 'Color' designations for war plans (all sort of war plans are still existing, and still being updated and new ones made; that's what plans staffs DO; they're just numbered now, and made by the geographic combatant commands - CENTCOM, EUCOM, etc) was done in 1940.<br /><br />The 1940 GREEN plan consisted of 3 phased, sequential plans:<br />GREEN-1 called for using the Army and National Guard to secure the border from the American side.<br />GREEN-2 called for a limited incursion across the border into Mexico to secure a buffer zone between whatever lawlessness, instability, and violence was the problem and American soil.<br />GREEN-3 called for a full scale invasion and occupation of all of Mexico, and required more troops than the combined strength of the regular Army and National Guard at the time the plan was written.<br /><br />I wonder if anyone the the J-5 and G-5 shops at NORTHCOM and ARNORTH are dusting off those old plans, or their current equivalents?<br /><br />(My thesis is available from the Texas A&M library, if anyone's interested.)Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624457882192131051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-49471950513184149122019-10-22T14:28:10.738-05:002019-10-22T14:28:10.738-05:00What's really ironic, as Larry points out at V...What's really ironic, as Larry points out at Virtual Mirage, is that the same people who don't want a border wall want to go door to door confiscating guns, yet they don't see the same porous border will allow the cartels to flood guns to the north into the US.

A great place to save money on certain things. But, really, even when 'open borders' were good and some towns and cities were 'safe', once you got into the hinterland, there was always failed state showing. Corrupt cops and politicians, gangs ruling huge territories, all of it. Just wasn't seen, and thus reported, by the media.<br /><br />Mexico, except for a few enclaves well patrolled and protected, has always been a no-go world, that too many clueless tourists and starry-eyed bambies (like whom Murphy escorted through Mexico) just can't see the reality, until it bites them.<br /><br />I fear that the only way to curb the violence for a reasonable time is to go all 1846 or 1916 on their collective buttocks. Mayhaps a few A-10s or AC-130s will have much more success than Pershing's Wright Flyers.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-85022078519004192852019-10-22T10:54:44.367-05:002019-10-22T10:54:44.367-05:00Just like other things not covered, it goes agains...Just like other things not covered, it goes against the 'agenda' the left is pushing.
