Amlo is joining BRICS for the same reasons most of the other joining nations do: PR bullshit to throw around for domestic political consumption.

BRICS is bullshit. Nothing more.

It's more of a show for Globalists. Mexico looks great financially to people with money from the rest of the world. Although I hate AMLO, he has kept spending very low and that brings in international investments.

We should drop NAFTA if Mexico joins BRICS.

Lol. NAFTA does not benefit Mexico that much anymore. They don't care.

Corn was domesticated/cultivated first in Mexico. Until NAFTA, there were small fields which had incredible variety going back to the Olmecs, thousands of years ago. NAFTA ruined these farmers, and cheap, flavorless corn replaced the heirloom varieties of the Mexican campesino farmers.

Rrrrrrriiight. Cancel NAFTA then. See what happens.

What would happen? China would set themselves up next to USA is what would happen. Just like stupid JFK gave Cuba to the Russians. They are already doing business with the Cartels, which means they are already unofficially working with the Mexican Govt. It would just make it official.

No, the US mafia did that. They made Cuba such a depraved fucked up place, that for a LOT of people, communism was an improvement. They had a legitimate revolution, but Castro was corrupt and insane himself.

Cuba needs some sort of protection from the United States criminals, but they should liberalize their economy. They have an internet that is all adhoc. They'll get there in time.

Yay, decoupling from another shithole! Let's bring our manufacturing outsorced to Mexico back home.

You should contact the CEO's of Ford, GM and whoever the fuck owns dodge/chrysler and let them know. They probably have never thought of it.

Riiiggghht. China is in the process of going down the tubes right now.

Mexico is not our friend:

I don't think any country is any other country's "friend".

Eric Holder says

Makes one suspect that Mexican government is actually benefitting from both illegal emigration and drug exports.

yuh think? A govt benefitting from illegal drug sales? It's unheard of I say, unheard of...Thankfully that doesn't happen in the usa. LOL

Hey Russia haters, riddle me this. Since the US has engaged in this proxy war in Ukraine we've brought China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and now Mexico closer together, and more united against the US. The Ruble has stabilized despite sanctions, and the Federal Reserve dollar is being dumped. How the fuck does this benefit us?

How? We are spreading democracy and making the world a better place. Also we are protecting "our freedoms".

You mean the cartels that only exist because of the War on Us? The same ones that the CIA uses to launder money?

Look nationalism that means loyalty to your fellow citizen and your land is good. Nationalism that means support of the corrupt government that runs your country and suppresses you is bad. Don't be the wrong kind of nationalist.

Mexico is the primary inlet for Chicom products and fentanyl. The NAFTA terms allow Mexico to import the components of exports, then assemble them there and export them to the US. NAFTA needs to go, because it's a Pacific Ocean sized loophole that is being fucked like a turbo thug by China.

China wants to repay the west for the opium trade which destroyed a 3,000 year old civilization. This shit is real.

What is this "War on You"?

Correct. Also, the Chinese feel that they invented civilization and the West are currently usurpers to Chinese hegemony..

You give too much credit to the CIA. The war on the drugs did create the cartels, but not because the CIA implanted them, they just take advantage of the situations and play them out.

RWSGFY says

Fixed it. They call it the War on Drugs. But drugs aren't arrested. Drugs aren't the target of undercover entrapment. Drugs don't do jail time. Drugs don't have flash grenades thrown into their bedroom.

I don't use News Speak, I prefer English to be accurate.

Operation Fast and Furious was done to make certain the cartel the CIA was running would continue to stay running. Gary Webb did an expose on the CIA's rampant drug trafficking and was destroyed, possibly murdered, in repayment. Iran Contra was funded largely by drug trafficking.

Our government is just legalized mafia.

Ah, so you are one of these "legalize hard drugs" types....

Did you like what they did in Portland in 2020?

The government itself sells drugs. The war on drugs is a scam. That's why the border wall, what little there is, has convenient bars through it - makes it much easier to smuggle stuff through. That's why Hunter Biden is a crack head. It's why Joe Biden was on cocaine during the State of the Union Address.

There is no war on drugs. There's a war on independent competition. It's fine to legalize hard drugs but there has to be conditions. Drugs in Seattle for example, should only be legalized for Seattle residents. For people popping in to do some hard drugs, they need to be arrested and convicted. Right now, they have made a tourist industry inviting in drug addicts.

Another problem is that our government misinforms people so much. They claim ridiculous stuff like marijuana is addictive and possibly deadly which undercuts their credibility when they point out the actual and very real dangers of drugs like heroin.

Basically, people have to understand that they can't trust their government to inform them, about anything. If they thought of it as a mafia group, they'd all be better off, because it is a mafia syndicate.

I used the CIA because of what Rick said. It's a really good example, but yeah, they didn't even exist when the War on Us started in the 30's. Deep state created that black market, and has used to to launder and sow chaos ever since.

Wrong focus, I'm one of those Don't give the government extra powers because they will abuse them guys. And I believe in adults being personally responsible for their own lives, NOT big brother. To better understand this, tell me, if you see some lard ass walking out of McDonald's with a big bag of cheeseburgers, do you believe swat should reign down on his ass? After all, he's putting a substance into his body that is clearly bad for him...
