Mexico will never tolerate an invasion of its national sovereignty by the United States, President Claudia Sheinbaum warned Thursday after Washington designated Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

“This cannot be an opportunity for the U.S. to invade our sovereignty,” she said. “With Mexico it is collaboration and coordination, never subordination or interventionism, and even less invasion.”

On Wednesday, the Trump administration formally labeled eight cartels as terrorist groups. They include Mexico’s two main drug trafficking organizations, the Jalisco New Generation and Sinaloa cartels.

    At this point I would love it if Mexico, Canada, Greenland, NATO, and whoever else Trusk have threatened would team up and invade US, overthrow the fascists, and oversee a legitimate election with paper ballots and CCTV at all polling places and ballot tallying locations. Our elected officials are clearly going to continue hemming and hawing, filing lawsuits while telling us to “fight back,” without understanding that none of it is going to work now that they’ve dug their claws in. He never should have been inaugurated. If the general [sane] public thought something about the election was weird pretty much immediately, that means the Biden admin likely had hard evidence long before we started putting the pieces together. But no, let’s have a peaceful transfer of power, that’ll show 'em.
