Canada has over one third of their military on the border with the US? Thats kinda wild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegeneral 2,899 Posted February 4 14 hours ago, Mark Davis said: One may be right to question if they will be effective, and I've been kind of trying to stay out of this but factually the argument you are making is incorrect. This is from the NY Times, and I'll link the article as well. These are additional troops to what are presently there. Deploy to the U.S.-Mexico border 10,000 members of the Mexican National Guard, a militarized force tasked with security operations and, in recent years, migration enforcement efforts. The deployment is in addition to the mix of police forces, Mexican Army soldiers and guardsmen already patrolling the border. The National Guard troops will be focused on curbing the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants into the United States. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02/03/us/trump-tariffs Trump said Mexico put 28k soldiers on the border in his first term.

Mark Davis 339 Posted February 4 54 minutes ago, The Real timschochet said: I’m saying that he gained nothing. Trump surrendered. He surrendered by them sending an additional 10K soldiers? Again, I get if you want to argue their effectiveness given the corruption in Mexican government and military. But these are additional troops. So the argument they aren't sending them isn't valid. This is per the NY Times so it's hardly a pro Trump source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don’t seem to be too effective Oh I'm sure corruption is rampant there. I'd rather have more help than less even if they are 20% effective. The heavy lift is going to have to be done by our side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is per the NY Times so it's hardly a pro Trump source. I didn’t say they didn’t send them. I said that they’ve sent them before, were planning to send them anyhow, and would have been willing to send a lot more. It was a meaningless offer and Trump grabbed it, because he was looking for a way out. It wasn’t an achievement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad https://x.com/flyaether33/status/1917628724083843369?s=46&t=qE_mxMxkv7rJw3kUGURqVg Okay, this seems absurd. There's absolutely no way this was a terrorist attack by the pilot. This just appears to be an accident and prescribing any type of motive other than that seems like you're moving into conspiracy land. And why would George Soros want to sacrifice a specialist like a helicopter pilot? You would think he would get some idiot like Rusty or squiztard to do it instead since they're useless and very expendable. Leftist idiots like that are a dime a dozen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
