I agree Trump is a buffoon, but I do think the US should invade Mexico.
Absolutely. Invade and replace their democratically elected government. The US has 20 years experience in fighting corruption and drug trade in Afghanistan. They got rid of all that in Afghanistan right? And it didn't cost the American people any blood or money.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

And why was that a bad idea?
Not to put too fine a point on it: because it would be evil?

I bet Trump sucks at Risk, too.

You can't say Trump did a good job and care about America's future at the same time. If you thought Trump did a good job, you want America to burn.

The only alternative is that you're IQ is somewhere in the 50's and you simply believe what others tell you.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

There are no primaries in Mexico.

The Mexican cartels are not fighting for Allah. There is too much corruption in Mexico and someone needs to do something about it.

Getting rid of child sex traffickers is an evil thing? The US could easily target cartels located outside cities.

I bet a lot of Mexican mothers want the US military to go to Mexico.

Not sure what this is supposed to mean.

The Ukraine is not fighting for Allah. Should the US invade Mexico like Russia has the Ukraine. Do you really not understand why this is such a horrible idea. One that violates international law. It gets many innocent people killed and it will not solve the problems you want solved.

No. The US should simply attack cartel territory and drug farms.

It means there is no real democracy in Mexico.

Someone has to fight the cartels. Mexico has a "hugs not bullets" policy.
Thousands of innocent people (including children) are getting killed by the cartels.

I did some research many years ago, before I met her.
