#1 I read Tom Clancy's A Clear And Present Danger many years ago. The application of that reaction is fraught with difficulties in The Real World™.

#2 Forget Russia and Ukraine. The real threats to our country are China and Mexico. Too bad our government is so corrupt that nobody is willing to acknowledge it.

#3 Clear and Present Danger is about a clandestine war that Americans are unaware of. It is unrealistic because it pits our Intelligence community against the cartels. Trump is talking about opening protecting our border from trafficking. It is the exact opposite of the Biden policy, nor is it an undeclared affair. It involves finishing the wall and nooses for traffickers.

#4 In response to Waltz’s AUMF plan, Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador has said he opposes it and even threatened to interfere in U.S. elections to help Democrats and oppose Republicans in response to it.

Heck, I thought the Democrats were already getting enough money from the cartels and the CCP.

#5 #3, Our intel community and the cartels? Seriously? If they weren't in bed together the cartels would already be kaput. I'm hoping for Trump to send the Air Force to bomb the cartels, send the Navy to blockade Mexican seaports and line the border with machine gun nests. Mexico and China are waging war against us and it's about damn time we fought back.

#6 We are in a reverse Opium War with China.

#7 Abu, to a Democrat there's no such thing as "enough" money.

#8 No. Just... no. What better way to piss Mexico off than to piss on its sovereignty? Offer them help? Yes. Intelligence and intercepts? Yes. Special forces training for their troops? Yes. Invade their country? No. It will be Afghanistan all over again.
