Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she rejected an offer by President Donald Trump to send US troops across the border to help combat drug trafficking.
“We can collaborate, we can work together, but you in your territory, we in ours,” Sheinbaum said at a university opening on Saturday, revealing details on what she said to Trump in a phone call after he made the proposal.
I’m so sick and fucking tired of “the drug problem” being used over and over and over again to justify anything the government wants.
the US has been fighting a war on drugs to the cost of trillions of dollars over 50 years and what has it led to? massive expansion and militarization of the border at taxpayers expense, and more people do drugs today than EVER!
we need to stop letting the propagandists win by nodding along to this ‘fentanyl is America’s #1’ enemy bullshit. people are on drugs because theyre fucking miserable! they don’t have safety nets, homes, communities, support to quit, or meaningful work. enough is enough!
I’d like to once again congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs
Wouldn’t have a fentanyl crisis without an opioid crisis. Wouldn’t have an opioid crisis without late stage capitalism and the US healthcare system.
Right move. He really thinks everyone’s as stupid as he is, or his supporters.
Not that he won’t press the matter further, or even try to do it anyway if he sees the chance.
The only appropriate response to someone who is used to take others by force is a complete rejection and threat of painful consequences, since that’s what savage Neanderthals respond to. Give an inch, he’ll take Mexico whole.
Sheinbaum the people of occupied Alta California yearn for freedom take us back.
“Offer.” What an odd way to say “threat.”
