From the drug epidemic here... that money has been wasted.
It's beginning to sound as though everyone was happier with being taken advantage of by other countries.
This is where we send in the CIA, and have a Coup D Eta in Mexico, that serves our interest, A Mexico allied with China in our border is a act of war on the United States. Do the Mexicans want to sell out their whole industry, resources, assets, because unlike us, the Chinese will buy it all up for pennies on the dollar.
It all in President Trump hands, if he has the guts to protect our interests, show that he will protect American interests south of the border, like former President Obama has failed to do concerning TPP, ISIS, the Arab Spring, and China buying up our country.
It created such a long legacy of successful relations with Iran after all.
The Shah was better than the nutty Ayatollahs, like or not, dictators are preferable in much of the thirld world, and Islamic Nations, The Shah was a cold war ally, was a part of the Baghdad pact, had his military right on the border with the Soviet Union, protected minorities, cracked down on Islamists, kept the oil flowing, had normalized relations with Israel, one of the last great Monarchs in the world, Great guy all around, former President Carter & Brezenski threw him under the bus, when he needed us most.
Nope. I haven't seen that Mexico "takes advantage" of the US. That premise needs to be proved first.
How dare the people of Iran disagree with how we would run their country! The gall!
That will be illegal internationally.
their interest conflict with ours, what a pity, I could care less if they want to live as 7th century barbarians, but when they attack American servicemen m, spread their Revolutionary Islam across the region, take American hostages, kidnap American citizens, and send EFP's that kill, and maim Americans in Iraq, and Afghanistan, building nuclear weapons with long range balostic missles then we have a problem.
Indeed.
Look every nation watches out for their interests, the Shah was better than the Ayatollahs, he wasn't killing American servicemen in Iraq, and Afghanistan, he didn't blow up our embassies, and Marine Barracks in Lebanon, he didn't threaten to wipe whole nations off the map, he didn't blow up Khobar towers killing Americans, he didn't kidnap Americans and hiding them in Iran, he didn't push Islamic Revolution across the region, he wasnt pushing for the return of the 12th Imam, the Ayatollahs did all that. the region was much better with the likes of the Shah, Hafez Al Assad, Saddam Hussein, the Military regimes in Turkey, Ghaddifi in Libya(once he learned his lesson, and cooperated, of course), King Hussein in Jordan, Mubarak in Egypt, Ben Ali in Tunisia, etc. Brutal yet predictable folks who suppressed the lunatics.
They may have never come to power had we left Iran to their own devices rather that overthrow the government in the first place.
Whoever said lock up a good percentage of us citizens, your silly, I think more rationally a wartime Muslim Ban into the country would be good enough, with mosques monitored & wiretaps, and cutting off the Gulf Arab funding to whabbi/Salafist radical preachers, and massages, also bringing law & order to our streets from the rioters, anarchists, drug dealers, and criminals, after all stability of this country matters.
if you read my last post. Sir, I modified my position, a war time Muslim ban, the things I laid out is fair enough.
Mexico supposedly has one of the lowest taxed upper incomes of anywhere in the world, and apparently will not take care of its poor. What do they think their people will do when the U.S. has a revolving door for a border... and that's not taking advantage of the situation?
