What if Trump sends an expeditionary force into Mexico ?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Andres Manuel Lopez isn't going to let Trump push him around. Trump can create a cavalry regiment of his opioid addled followers.

1. What a nightmare that would be.

2. Especially for the cavalry regiment of his opioid addled followers.

4. One only has to think about the

Nationalist instinct of the Mexican Population. Do we really think any Force would last more than five minutes.

3. It would be a disaster, but he's not actually going to do it.

He's blowing smoke.

5. Whether or not, I want historians to refer

To all this nonsense as the Trumpist-Mexican War.

7. We did send an expeditionary force to try to capture Pancho Villa.

6. Not just a mere expeditionary force

It will be the Mexican Punitive Expedition redux

8. Our Allies would consider it an unprovoked act of war

Do that and I can guarantee social unrest the like of which have never been seen in this country. In fact, 45 and his cult are counting on just that response. War with MX and a civil war at the same time - it's like having 2 scoops of ice cream!!

9. He should send those Tiki Torch nazi freaks

10. You are really into this scenario, aren't you?

Does he have a General Pershing to lead against Pancho Villa? Something tells me we would suffer many more losses than we did the first time around.

12. Under Trump I no longer believe actions that seem beyond the pale are.

11. Mexico has essentially no Air Force

Well, it does have 35 Pilatus PC-7 single-engine trainers modified for light attack purposes.
