On Monday, men arrived in a boat at a beach in northeast Mexico and installed some signs signaling land that the U.S. Department of Defense considered restricted.

Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said late Monday that the country’s navy had removed the signs, which appeared to be on Mexican territory. “The origin of the signs and their placement on national territory were unclear,” the ministry said in a statement.

    So we’re committing an act of war by invading a sovereign nation without an official declaration of war from Congress? “I’m sure this is Constitutional,” said no one ever.

            Right, but why is anyone concerned with if it’s easier to hit America back?

            The issue here isn’t that Mexico might strike back, it’s that the US might invade.

                Strategically it’s far easier for the US to roll over the border and secure a neighbouring country compared to the logistics of supplying an occupation force abroad.

                It’s not like they’re under any real threat of losing, and actors can already launch attacks from inside of the US without sharing a border.

                And if your objective is annexation of land, well you generally do need to look at your borders unless you want some weird remote colony/not-colony like Gibraltar.

      This fucking pedophile and pedophile buddies would rather destroy this country and keep fucking kids than ever owning up to the fact that they’re pedophiles.

      Pretty sure his name will be blacked out because of national security reasons. It’s the DOJ that’s delivering the files

          That’s dangerous. Surely there are a lot of other Republicans on that list paying a lot of money to get their names redacted, too. Can’t let those child molesters get away from it either. America has a very deep sickness that needs to be cut out.

    The signs, driven into the sand near where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico, caused a stir when witnesses said men in a boat arrived at the local beach known as Playa Bagdad and erected them.

    Oh that explains it, they must have confused it with Baghdad, Iraq

    The origin of the signs is a bunch of idiot gravy seals who thought they were being clever by illegally crossing the border in a little fishing boat and hammering them into sovereign Mexican territory. If you made up the last 10 years nobody would believe you.

    We shouldn’t have to write on all of the world’s land that the US isn’t welcome. They should know that already
