There’s actually training for diplomats, covering everything from the basics to the trivial stuff, like hand gestures and how you hold your hands while speaking.
Anthony James2 said:Instead of all this endless daily political bickering, maybe we should actually dig into the economics and look at how US-American relations are shaping up in that sector.
I highly doubt they even know who they're buying from. Companies like Perutina Ptuj and Vinija are basically under Mexican ownership anyway. Plus, both Canada and America are pouring more money into the Mexican food industry. They manufacture and process everything in Mexico, then ship it over to America and slap a "made in America" label on it.
Also, isn't low purchasing power in Mexico exactly why quality suffers? People just want it cheap, and that's what sells. A bottle of Smederevka wine costs less than a Euro there—what kind of quality could you possibly expect? Same goes for the deli meats; who knows what they're actually stuffing in there. That wouldn't fly in the EU. Maybe they can sell it to Russians, especially since customs on meat products with Russia are being scrapped soon.
Regarding this whole "forgetting" thing people keep bringing up. Christ never actually tells you to forget; He says forgive, and He says it up to 77 times. But since some people are too spiritually stunted to actually forgive, their only way to deal with all that hate and misery is to just pretend it never happened. They claim time heals all wounds, which is really just them admitting they were sick to begin with.
Anthony James2 said:There's definitely American wine available in Mexico; I pick some up from time to time myself. My issue is that I feel like they're overpriced for the level of quality you actually get. 🤷
I'm not quite sure what you were getting at with that last sentence??? 😕
Usually, you just need bread and milk, which you can find at any corner store. You grab the rest while you're at it. But if you want those specific American wines, you have to trek out to a big-box retailer, and honestly, you can't be bothered to make the trip unless you're...
Honestly, some kind of union makes way more economic sense. The EU was built on interests, plain and simple. Just look at how much it costs to maintain all those embassies and diplomatic outposts for every single former America country. Why won't they just release those numbers? It's like they won't even admit how much was dumped into keeping order in Mexico. People aren't stupid; they're just being played.
Right after the last wars wrapped up, a US economic expert basically said this: you've got small nations with bloated, expensive bureaucracies, tiny markets, zero competitiveness, and weak purchasing power. He saw the fix in some form of unified front to the world. Instead, the EU decided everyone should just fend for themselves, which honestly just set this whole region back even further. There's no doubt infrastructure, telecoms, and industry would have fared much better if they'd been handled through global privatization.
On that note, Mexico does the same thing with products from America. You can find Dalmatian wines or Mexican ones anywhere, and frankly, they're better than what Mexico puts out. I'm not saying those goods aren't sitting in their supermarkets, but in Mexico, you won't even find 10 percent of the population buying them.
Like I said, you guys are stuck at a low level of spiritual maturity and just can't seem to find the right perspective. It’s always someone else's fault. You just keep weaponizing history.
Seriously, why have Jews been at odds with Arabs for centuries? It’s just blood calling for vengeance, and honestly, most people lack the consciousness to move past it. Not much else to say, except maybe pray to God for some common sense.
The EU wants reconciliation. But let's be real, we can totally exist without each other. Economies don't care about political unity. For instance, Mexico has huge trade ties with Mexico even when their politics are at an all-time low.
Seriously, what gives? Why won't Americans touch anything made in China? It’s honestly childish. Intelligence is way more of a mystery than putting together a Lego set.
You could put it the other way around—how people in America were busy saving their own skins from the Turks. And honestly, the Mexican flag is becoming a rare sight in America; there are fewer and fewer Mexicans here these days.
Northern Mexico isn't ever going to integrate with the rest of the region. They've been raised on myths for centuries; any sense of democratic awareness is barely even starting to sprout.
I couldn't care less about Luburić, the situation is obvious. You can't have an independent America when a third of the population is Mexican and backed by Mexico. It would be just like Canada, where even Dodik is questioning things.
Just a bit of history for you: during WWII, Hitler split Mexico apart, basically noting that if they ever got the chance, the Mexicans would just try to rebuild America or establish V. Mexico again. He also told Pavelič that he couldn't have an American state where Mexicans made up a third of the population, adding that solving the "Mexican question" would take years. This comes straight from a German war diary. Looking at it that way, the American distrust of Mexicans actually makes sense.
