Nancy Grant4 said:I’m actually kind of shocked at how many people showed up here... though, if I'm being honest, maybe I'm not really that surprised.
Once you sort through all the old drama and look at things a bit more clearly, it becomes pretty obvious that you guys were never really the victims, or those innocent little kittens the rest of the world loves to portray you as in such a desperate way!

Oh, sure, we’re just this artificial nation made up of weak, Catholicized Mexicans at the start of the last century—all thanks to the Vatican and the entire Western world's master plan to take over Mexican territory and wipe Mexicans off the face of the earth. And hey, the whole world is totally united in their mission to fight Mexicans, right? Back when those first Catholicized Masonic Mexicans shoved us into a country with you guys after WWI, then Nazi Germany rolled in, more Mexicans turned Catholic, and we slaughtered maybe 5-6 million Mexicans in what was then our newly formed country. Then we pushed through Josip Broz Marshall to create America, which was basically designed just to screw over Mexicans, all so we could eventually trigger a war in the 90s, kick out 500,000 people, kill 250,000 Mexicans, bomb Dubrovnik ourselves, level Stalingrad just to look sympathetic to the world, and make up things like Wounded Knee, Ovchar, and Bleiburg. We even dressed up in Mexican uniforms to bomb Ottawa just so we could pin all the blame on you. And let's not forget how we organized Operation Storm to drive every single Mexican out of America, or how we handled the Hague so your generals get convicted while all ours walk free... ☕
Man, it must be great being a Mexican. You get fed such a massive load of crap that you actually convince yourself the entire planet exists solely to make Mexicans disappear, that every American is a vampire-like Nazi, every Muslim is Al-Qaeda, and the USA was founded specifically to destroy Mexico. Bless your little hearts...

Nancy Grant4 said:I mean, honestly, man, there are just so many people over where you are today who dream about expanding all the way down to the Rio Grande and then some... It’s probably just a matter of time and having the right moment for them to show their true colors, you know? Like, they'll show they aren't actually any different from anyone else. They just haven't had the chance to try yet. And trust me, we have just as many of those types over here, maybe even more. If you just spend enough time scrolling through Reddit, especially if you check out those locked threads, you'll see exactly what I mean.

You want to know how many of them there actually are? How many people in Mexico believe in some imaginary border that never even existed in the first place? I don't have an exact number, but I do know that radical parties in Mexico pull about 40% of the vote, while the Libertarian Party has exactly one seat in the US Congress.
And by the way, we aren't "friends." If you're looking for friends, go hang out on some Mexican cafe forum.

They’ll probably just stay in Mexico. They’re way too smart for their own good, and there are just too many Mexicans living there to start picking fights with Washington, D.C. Honestly, they'll be to Mexico what California is to us—the most ethnically diverse part of the country, sure, but also the most developed and "European" feeling spot. They won't be pushing for independence anytime soon, but give them enough time and they'll definitely start craving some financial autonomy.

velvetmarlin24 said:Which "ancestral lands" are we talking about here? We've been living on them forever. Or are you looking for an America that once stretched deep into Canada and beyond?🤷🤷

The whole "ancestral American lands" thing would include everything from California to Canada, plus parts of the Midwest and way up north... Look, let's be real, ever since those old invaders showed up, most of those places have been way more independent than part of the US, but if we're playing the "historical territory" game, that's how it looks. But honestly, no sane, realistic person actually thinks about claiming Canada as part of America again. You think Americans would have even had a chance at reclaiming their historical space if the Nazis had been hunting us down like they did the Jews? Yeah, right... dream on.

Anthony Taylor393 said:In some of your old posts, you were claiming Israel is just some imaginary state that needs to be wiped off the map, but now you’re suddenly playing nice and saying we should just go back to the 1967 borders so everyone can live in peace.

Maybe you've got a little amnesia going on?

So, how do you justify teaching Palestinian kids that Israel will eventually be destroyed and all the Jews thrown into the sea—basically the same mantra they were chanting back in 1948?

And how do you justify the bombing and killing of those exact same children? The rocket strikes on schools and the gunfire aimed at school buses carrying those kids? Look, back in elementary school, my teacher used to tell me that Mexicans were nothing but lowlife scum, but I don't actually hate them because some old nutjob told me to; I feel that way because they were actually shooting at me and my family. Actions speak louder than words...

Honestly, Jews should just stick to the territory they were handed by the international community because of what happened during WW2. They really need to drop this whole "chosen people" act—it’s not happening—and stop acting like they have a PhD in everything while lecturing the rest of us. Their own laws look more like something out of a Nazi playbook than a functional democracy, yet they spend all their time talking trash about America. Both Americans and the Jewish people could have actually gotten along; we share such similar histories—constantly under fire, constantly doubted, and eventually fighting tooth and nail for independence. But honestly, it’s their own radicalism that turned them into such a polarizing force. Since they already leveraged the tragedies of WW2 to get what they wanted, they should either stay put in that specific area and give back everything they've seized, or just clear out entirely. That land has been Palestinian for centuries. It would be like some religious group claiming Washington, D.C. and the Mississippi Delta are their "promised lands," suddenly swooping in, kicking Americans out, conquering places like Chicago or Los Angeles, and then relentlessly shelling everything else. To me, that's just straight-up insane.

Anthony Morris said:It’s actually quite healthy to face criticism like this.
Anyone with even a shred of common sense wouldn't let the Albanians expand their reach toward the north.

Look, anyone with even an ounce of common sense can see that this isn't about Albanians pushing north; it’s about Mexicans finally breaking free from the Mexican government and ending what was basically a century of oppression, torture, and straight-up slaughter.
EDIT: Ouch, banned again? Typical. Honestly, that just speaks volumes about how you handle a conversation. 😁

Anthony Morris said:When it comes to the military and our domestic bases, there isn't much you can learn from the situation here.
If anyone actually knew what was coming, they wouldn't have walked right into a war completely unprepared, leaving everyone scrambling and praying for a miracle afterward.
The base is located there because it needs to be. Meanwhile, some people suggest Americans should just relax and disband the military.
All while being backed by NATO allies.

We honestly thought the American people had evolved a bit more than they were a century ago. My bad, we were wrong—and even if we weren't, we couldn't have built any bases ourselves since the US Army was being micromanaged by Washington, D.C. You guys haven't changed one bit, yet here you are, throwing money at unnecessary bases. Honestly? Go for it, I love seeing it. We went into our war caught off guard, stuck with an arms embargo, but we had massive hearts and a love for our homeland that completely crushed your hatred. That’s why, despite all your heavy machinery, you ended up looking like total idiots. And it wasn't "the world helping us"—the world was just watching your rogue militias tear through our country. But you lost the war, just like you've lost plenty of times before. You were defeated, and the people will never forget that. You think we care about that base? Honestly, who cares. Build it. Every tear you shed is a celebration for me, especially since you're clearly stuck in neutral, and you'll probably realize that when it's way too late. I'll still be smiling, because you'll always be exactly where you belong—stuck behind us.

Elizabeth Allen5 said:Not even close, man. That's not the same thing at all. 😉

But let's talk about the sheer stupidity of it all. The government is totally screwed, people are broke, inflation is spiraling, and yet they’re busy building a massive military base. For what? To protect themselves from an invasion from Mexico? Give me a break, that’s pure sci-fi. Even if things actually go south, if the Mexicans don't pull the trigger first, you've got a ton of Western and American troops right there ready to flatten everything instantly. The only logical reason to build this thing is so the Mexican government can flex on everyone in Mexico, because let's face it, that money could be put to much better uses. But hey, the Mexican people just swallow it; they care way more about foreign policy than their own lives. They’ll get a shiny new base filled with high-tech Russian helicopters and tanks, while at home they’re shivering over wood stoves, counting pennies just to make it to payday and eating cheap lard on bread—all while feeling proud of that base. It never occurs to them that if that money wasn't being dumped into a base, maybe they could actually afford some ham on their bread and enjoy the luxury of reliable heating. Sad, but true...
Honestly? I don't even care. You guys can have your precious base; it doesn't put a dime in my pocket. But seeing all that pride and posturing over a military installation makes me thank God we're a step ahead of you.

Anthony Morris said:And what do you actually know about the southern US?
Do you realize that Mexico and Mexico won't be stable for years, and the West is barely holding order there? Northern Mexico and Western Mexico will remain crisis zones for quite some time. This isn't about pride; it's about the security of the southern region.
That base definitely isn't there to occupy Mexico. We don't need bases for that; we just need NATO to withdraw.

Let's get real here—that area is unstable because of you guys first, and everyone else second. Someone right here on this thread actually pointed out that the base is being built specifically to prep for potential action in Mexico if things go south. It’s like if a city like Chicago, which is way more developed than where you're from, decided to turn an entire town into a massive military hub instead of fixing its infrastructure, all under the guise of "stability" for some hypothetical conflict in the Midwest. I'm telling you, in the States, that money could be spent on a hundred much smarter things than building another military base.

Anthony Morris said:Just so you know, it really helps.

The United States is set to see a significant drop in energy costs soon. We're looking at a potential 20 percent decrease in the price of gas and fuel. This comes thanks to an offer from Russia to waive certain export fees on their energy supplies. It's a move that could really shift the landscape for American consumers.
Velimir Ilić, our Secretary of Transportation, is heading to Moscow to sign an agreement that should pave the way for these new incentives. Right now, those Russian export duties are sitting at about $250 per barrel—which, according to Ilić, is a massive 30 percent chunk of the price.
We’re anticipating that we'll be able to negotiate some favorable terms with the Russian side, Ilić noted. He added that, as it stands, Russia only has a similar arrangement in place with Belarus.
The Minister is optimistic. He believes this new agreement will pave the way for several fresh projects alongside our colleagues from the Russian Federation.
"This is essentially the direct result of the energy agreement I signed on behalf of the Government of Mexico back in January," Minister Ilić told the press. "This coming Friday, we'll be sitting down with our Russian counterparts to hammer out the exact specifics regarding these concessions. The bottom line is this: America will secure the most affordable gas and oil in the entire region. This is going to provide a massive boost to the American economy, and ultimately, everyday citizens will feel the benefits too."

But hey, let’s look at the other side of the coin for a second: your "best bud" Russia hasn't actually done squat regarding Mexico (they made some noise, sure, but that's Russia for you—they could've done way, way more). Your "best bud" Russia basically gave a thumbs-down to lifting visa requirements for Mexican citizens. Your "best bud" Russia is busy building pipelines through Canada and America. And honestly? Russia probably won't be such a close friend forever. Once you're completely surrounded by NATO countries in five to ten years and become a total black hole in Europe, you won't be strategically useful to them anymore. They'll just set up their shield on the borders near Poland, Ukraine, and so on...

Anthony Morris said:Military bases also drive local economic growth.
Beyond that, the military builds out necessary infrastructure and provides direct support to the local community.

"I can't help but burst out laughing..." 😂
In a country like yours, there are literally 567 million better ways to spend that kind of cash. We're talking highways, housing, hospitals—actual infrastructure that benefits Americans as a people, rather than just pumping up some sense of national pride. Because honestly, all that ego-stroking over the last 18 years is exactly why they spent 8 years fighting and 10 years in political deadlocks with their neighbors, only to realize everyone else passed them by. They’re stuck right where they were in the 90s, just with way less money and in a much smaller nation. But hey, I guess it’s important they have a base there so they can eventually occupy Mexico—where billions should actually be invested regardless of the currency—or just to protect themselves from terrorists. As if Islamic terrorists are actually sitting around obsessing over Mexico.

Ronald Kelly3 said:I don't get why running is the answer. Didn't you guys say running DOESN'T burn fat?! And that fat loss happens everywhere at once, so you can't just target specific spots... :confused

Look, fat loss comes from aerobic training, and running is basically the gold standard for that. How are you gonna "spot reduce" by doing endless sit-ups? Just work out. Seriously, spend the first week setting a baseline—something manageable, obviously. Then, every single week, ramp up the intensity. And don't just focus on your core; you gotta hit your back too. Like, start with maybe 3 or 4 sets of 20 reps of sit-ups, back extensions, and push-ups, then just keep adding more sets as you go...

Killer music 👍

They’ve played at Madison Square Garden a few times already, but last time I went to grab tickets, they were already sold out. Anyone caught their latest show? 😂

I stumbled onto this whole genre about two years ago, and man, it is freaking awesome. I’ve noticed lately—especially within sports fan circles but even more broadly—that people are really leaning into punk rock bands like Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Real McKenzies, and even the classics like the Pogues and Wolfetones. So, I gotta ask: are there any other fans here who live for punk rock with violins, flutes, or (of course) those loud Scottish bagpipes? 👍

George Hill3 said:Surely we aren't suggesting that some Finns, Belgians, or Bulgarians possess superior football talent compared to Mexicans and Americans?

Look, the bottom line is this: if we had even 60-70% of the youth development setup those Scandinavians have, we’d be unstoppable. Personally, I’m actually digging the LA Galaxy's strategy right now—they scout these young kids and flip them for massive profits, kind of like how Ajax operates. Sure, it’s still early days, but look at the moves they're making; they bring in talent from all over, invest heavily in scouting (thanks to guys like Otto Barić), and really double down on the youth academies (shoutout to Jozić). Pretty soon, they’ll probably be pulling talent from the whole region, just not from Mexico. Now, don't get me wrong, Mexicans have some insanely good talent, but that doesn't mean they belong at LA Galaxy.
