    That’s fucking wild! Mexico is not South Sudan or Afghanistan, failed states ruled by warlords. It will start with “we’re only targetting cartels” and conclude with “these terrorists are purposely using hospital staff as human shields, what would you have us do?!”

      I’ll note that for the latter, it’s a failed state ruled by warlords because the US rolled in and fucked everything up.

        No, it’s a failed state because the cartels have more power than the government. Stop blaming your own country, traitor.

          The US could just stop sending weapons to Israel and the fighting will stop too. As for Ukraine, Zelensky has tried to make deals with Russia before and the West told him not to because they promised they’d continue backing him with more weapons that would give them the edge, which the US is obviously reneging on now (which, to be fair, is something Trump sort of said he’d do, so you could argue that’s been democratically decided).

                  So a Ukrainian news paper isn’t good enough? I can find other sources for the same story if you like. Or you can search for stories that explore the background of Johnson’s sudden Kyiv trip yourself.

    I’d like to point out that we’re in this mess because Mexico doesn’t do enough to stop the cartels. No matter who Lemmy and Reddit spin it, the cartels are horrible organizations that commit horrible crimes.
