Ron DeSantis recently suggested that he would be open to ordering drone strikes on Mexican drug cartels and migrants, whom he accused of carrying drugs over the border. “We’re authorizing deadly force. They try to break into our country? They will end up stone-cold dead,” he said, and he’s not alone. Trump, Reps. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and Mike Walsh (R-FL), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Trump’s former deputy secretary of homeland security Ken Cuccinelli have all proposed various military actions in Mexico, up to and including sending in ground troops.

He gets off on cruelty. I guess his time inflicting suffering at Guantanamo wasn't enough, though.

And to think somebody can be such a fucking idiot that they make Trump look normal. Is this some sort of trick like in France, where Zemmour's antics were used to make LePen more palatable? Looks like it.

And they think Mexico will just be ok with us drone striking homes that these idiots think are cartel hideouts? These racists fucks would glass all of Mexico claiming anyone brown is cartel

They would relish Mexico trying to defend its sovereignty as a chance to destroy another country and show the world how big their ego is.

The libs are pro war for aiding Ukraine, but in the same breath...?

Are you really pretending there's no difference between assisting a country in defending itself from an aggressor, and starting your own war as the aggressor?

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Russia and their ilk are the only ones that are pro war in Ukraine. Libs are pro Ukraine, which involves defending them from the Russian invasion. If at anytime, Russia agreed to (and actually did it) pull all troops including the land they stole, almost all libs would be happy.

On the flip side, DeSantis wants to start a war and be the aggressor. Support of that is fucked up and deranged, which is why a large number of conservatives support it.

I'm pointing out republican hypocrisy in calling the left pro war and also wanting to invade Mexico, which was the implication with "in the same breath."

Pretty sad that there are so many Pro-Russia shills on this site that this seemed like the least likely interpretation of your comment..

Are you honestly that confused? Do you really think this is some kind of gotcha?

Russia invaded their smaller neighbor for a made up reason.

DeSantis is suggesting invading our smaller neighbor for an equally made up reason.

We don't like either scenario. I would be just as supportive of Mexico getting military aide from other nations as I am about Ukraine getting military aide from other nations.

You're right we should let Putin take everything he wants and stand down.

Fucking retard.

They are using republican talking points to criticize DeSantis.
