I'm suprised no republican candidate mentioned this. If we go to war with Mexico, we could use their capitulation as a bargaining tool.

Terms such as maintaining stronger borders or possibly have a proxy state where immigrants can live under US advisory without being citizens.

We could even harness their resources to expand our economy.

Any thoughts.

Because our own people would term us Imperialist and the war would last 3 minutes. The drive to the border.

Well we already had a war with Mexico.

But even for the neoconservative war mongering, this is stupid. Bullying a politically friendly but inferior nation, that doesn't really even have the "spoils of victory" is a terrible idea.

What would be the upside? We would have to occupy it forever, or turn it back over and let the same people take over.

Yeah, because there is nothing better than inheriting the problems of a second world country.

Now they we've determined War with Mexico is stupid, let's look at our northern neighbor.

Benefits of war (and eventual victory) with Canada include:

1. A homage to John Candy and the film Canadian Bacon.

2. Can add hockey to the list of sports that we dominate.

3. Beer

4. Prime land in case global warming predictions ever come true.

A war with Mexico would be fruitless. However, we could bomb the crap out of the cartels.

Although the fake news the MSM puts out doesn't indicate this it is the dumocraps that start wars. Just look at all the shite this admin has gotten us into.

I'm sure the Bush name will come up but what most people don't know (because the MSM won't tell them) is it was the dumocraps pushing him to go into Iraq. Yep, all the big names including the hag that just lost. In fact she claimed they were hiding nukes too.

Wanna know what else? They were trying to get Clinton to bust up Iraq. Yessir, they got Bush to fall for it and then hung him out to dry. All the big name dumocraps fuuked the dummy.

Cartels are our biggest problem there and we're already putting in work on them.

So you'd like to go to war with Mexico over things that we could easily resolve through simply passing domestic legislation? That makes, not a lick of sense. I hope your OP was an attempt at something else rather than a straightforward and sincere suggestion.

Hell yeah!!!

WE could drop a few nukes, They don't have any so they cant retaliate.

Wipe them frickers out. The border would be radioactive so we wouldn't even need a wall.

Great idea glad you thought of it

Avacados are delicious but they don't rank that highly as a natural resource.
