That’s exactly what we’re talking about. They’ve actually started handing out rifles.
The IDS requested that the Department of Defense urgently explain why notices for military reservists have been arriving at homes in the Istria area these past few days, according to a statement released by the party's Secretary General, Giovanni Sponza.
I actually agree with that. Only, I highly doubt we could pull that off as an official state entity—like, sending in the police or the military.
But... we could send volunteers if North Mexico asked for them. And then we could send volunteers from every region where migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, or whatever you want to call them, are currently crossing through.
Which essentially means people from all over the old North America. For that to work, North Mexico would need to issue a call for volunteers.
That would actually work, wouldn't it?
Maybe it's not yours, but it's mine... that's where we differ. That's why I'm telling you. And I'm definitely not the only one with family over there... plenty of people feel the same way.
I don't see any point in anyone forcing anyone else. If this is actually getting resolved, then it should be handled on a voluntary basis, don't you think?
You talking about NATO in Turkey? The US border? Right in front of your house? North Mexico?
You're saying the best place to close things off would be North Mexico—and hey, I actually agree with you there. It would be best to secure it using volunteers.
Volunteers? 🙂
They have MATV.
There's Patria... the Canadians have Patria... they even have those old BVs... the Mexicans have some weaponry too...
The Mexicans couldn't secure the border on their own. But with volunteers from the former America, they could really fortify the border toward Greece and completely stop the influx.
So, where exactly do you stand?
We're just waiting until there are more and more of them arriving...
or is it North Mexico?
Deploying the military to the US border is basically a state of war. At that point, the high command takes control... which, by the way, is currently sitting there on unpaid GO at NATO.
Just so I don't drag this whole thing out indefinitely—I'll keep this brief.
I am truly sorry.
But in a situation like this, you have to face the cold, hard truth: it’s every man for himself.
It’s quite simple, really—you defend your own home, I’ll defend mine, and that is exactly how the world functions. It’s an elementary principle of existence, isn't it? One doesn't sit around debating whether or not to protect their own doorstep; you just do it. It’s instinctual, almost primal. I remember my grandfather used to say something similar back when we lived near Chicago—he was a man of few words, but when he spoke, you listened—about how a man's responsibility begins and ends with his own property line. And honestly, why should anything be any different now? You look after your own interests, I look after mine, and that is simply the natural order of things. There's no need to overcomplicate such a fundamental truth.
North Mexico is the only logical move here, really—it’s quite frankly the only sensible course of action if we want everyone across this entire region to actually secure their homes together. It just makes sense when you step back and look at the big picture.
It seems we are still stuck dealing with that whole "if my cow dies, so be it, as long as my neighbor loses two" mentality, which is frankly just exhausting to witness. It’s that same old selfish, short-sighted logic that keeps tripping us up. Personally, I have absolutely no interest in crossing the US border, nor do I have any intention of ever stepping foot outside of it.
If both of those men actually possessed even a shred of common sense or genuine wisdom, they would have already headed down to North Mexico just to ensure our families were kept safe. Honestly, if I could see that kind of foresight and stability being exercised within the region, I wouldn't have any qualms about heading down there myself.
There is absolutely no consensus to be found here, and frankly, it looks like the folks over in Mexico are once again trying to push those same old agendas they attempted to force through twenty years ago. If we aren't careful, we’re all just going to end up tearing each other apart like a bunch of complete idiots. Honestly, we don't even need ISIS to cause us trouble; we are more than capable of destroying our own lives all on our own.
And just like that, we find ourselves staring down the barrel of a situation where help simply isn't coming—not from any corner of this country, anyway. It’s one of those grim realizations that hits you all at once, much like when I was stuck in a snowstorm outside of Chicago back in '98, waiting for a tow truck that I knew deep down wasn't even going to show up. You look around, you call the usual channels, you wait for some semblance of support to materialize, and yet, there is absolutely nothing. No rescue, no intervention, just a vast, empty silence where assistance ought to be. 🤷
Regarding that whole discussion about Syria, I already gave my two cents to that fellow Tihomir regarding how the US is actively destabilizing Mexico and Mexico. I have no intention of repeating myself here.
Deploying the military to the US border is nothing short of a state of war. It’s a massive escalation that shifts all control directly into the hands of the Commander-in-Chief... an individual who, if I recall correctly, currently has our leadership sitting on a massive unpaid tab at NATO headquarters.
That is precisely why my previous point stands up to scrutiny, and if you bother to look at the bigger picture, you'll see exactly what I mean. When we find ourselves staring down the barrel of a total standstill—that moment where everything just grinds to a halt and the chaos starts mounting—we aren't going to need more debating or endless committees; we are going to need actual leadership. Real, decisive leadership that can step up when the pressure is on.
I find myself constantly pondering this singular, nagging question: out of this entire crowd of us, which one individual will actually step up and become the leader we can genuinely put our faith in? Who is going to be that one person—the one who doesn't just talk a big game, but actually commands the kind of trust that makes everyone else stop arguing for five minutes? It’s a heavy thought, honestly, and I suspect we'll be debating it until the cows come home.
Because he’s already proven himself once before.
Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate: when it comes to this whole situation, I truly couldn't care less about whose side anyone is on or which camp they belong to. Honestly, my interest in tribalism or political allegiances is practically non-existent here. I tend to look at things through a much more pragmatic lens, focusing strictly on what actually makes sense and, quite frankly, what serves my own best interests.
Dennis Hall41 said:Your ideas sounded realistic to me before—and they still kind of do—but after sitting with it for a bit (read: watching the invasion of Ukraine), I'm wondering: do you seriously think it's a 100% guarantee that ISIS hits us with ground forces next spring or sooner?
What on earth are you talking about when you mention Russian invasions? Seriously, what kind of delusions are we entertaining now?
Where on earth is this supposed to be happening, where exactly have the Russians launched an invasion into someone else's territory?
Could you please provide the link to that information?
