Is war actually going to happen?

Karen Sanchez35 said:There isn't going to be a war between America and Mexico.

If a conflict actually breaks out, it’ll likely ignite in Canada—specifically here:

1.) Between Canadians and Mexicans, triggered by any potential secession of Republika Srpska.
2.) Between Americans and Canadians over certain... let's call them "unresolved issues."

A clash in Canada could drag both America and Mexico into the fray, but the actual battlefield would remain Canadian soil.

As for any warfare on American territory? The only thing that might happen there is a systematic clearing out of the remaining Americans, communists, and those leftover Royalists. Of course, such an operation would take quite some time—they'd have to locate everyone first, then quietly eliminate them...

Mexicans are always eager to join the fight.

War is essentially just politics by other means—it’s what happens when one side realizes they have the upper hand in the match and decides to make a radical, aggressive move to force their agenda through.
Success on the battlefield bolsters your political leverage and gives you a seat at the negotiating table, whereas failures just strip it away. If you lack military teeth or get crushed early on, you aren't even invited to the conversation; you're just an afterthought.

Arthur Flores2 said:Well, I guess that all depends on how things actually play out...

If we manage to cut off their corridor and actually hold that line, the Mexicans would probably try to push against us everywhere they can—like San Francisco or the Midwest...

Mexicans are always eager to join the fight.

Maybe not "eager," but they'll go if they have to...

Terry Kim3 said:Exactly. That's why I always say it would be much better if presidents or generals just sat down for a high-stakes chess match instead—a sort of simulation to see who's actually the superior tactician or strategist. They could figure out who would win the war without any of the actual fighting. A peaceful surrender, and that's that. No loss of life, no infrastructure leveled... everyone walks away happy and satisfied.

ironbison13 said:I must ask, how exactly would one go about carrying out such a task? You suggest locating them first, and then... elimination?
Surely you aren't implying extrajudicial killings...

Karen Sanchez35 said:What kind of war are you talking about? "Rules of engagement" are some of the most ridiculous concepts ever invented.

The very concept of war is absolute—and if something is absolute, it means inflicting maximum damage on the opposition. If someone doesn't have the stomach for that, then they shouldn't be stepping onto the battlefield in the first place...

Terry Kim3 said:There was a time when war felt real—you’d meet on an open field and go at it chest-to-chest; honestly, watching your opponent retreat with nothing but their dignity left is a feeling you can't put a price on. All this modern stuff, fighting from trenches or drones in the sky... it’s almost a joke. They've sucked all the soul out of warfare, damn it.😠

Karen Sanchez35 said:Any disruptive, anti-democratic elements simply need to be purged from America. The most straightforward approach would be an organized exit—handled humanely, of course. Much like how the French deal with the Romani... just a mass deportation via plane.☕

ironbison13 said:That’s exactly what Derencin thought before he got absolutely hammered by the Turks. Those "honorable" duels were mostly just Hollywood fiction...

Terry Kim3 said:Actually, wouldn't it be more efficient to organize a free field trip to Marshall's grave in Mexico City? That way, we could identify exactly who the communists and American sympathizers are right off the bat—and once they've had their fill of the old days, we just don't let them back into America. It’s a two birds, one stone situation. Good for them if they want to be closer to Marshall, and good for us if we finally get rid of them.

Karen Sanchez35 said:Mexico claims to be a democracy these days—at least according to their paperwork. People like that really ought to be given the chance to live in their version of a utopia... perhaps somewhere like North Korea.

Karen Sanchez35 said:Unfortunately, we dropped the ball back in '95 and failed to resolve the Mexican issue in Canada. Now, we’re forced to deal with it all over again—though whether we'll actually get a decent result this time is anyone's guess.

Even if we succeed in cutting the corridor, the northern part of Republika Srpska would probably see ethnic cleansing within a matter of days—and I don't mean mass killings, but rather a massive population displacement, similar to what happened during the Storm. Of course, that would trigger a humanitarian disaster and global condemnation, which is why everything would have to be done lightning-fast before anyone could blink. Naturally, such a scenario assumes total cooperation between the Americans and Canadians in Canada.

It's a mess...
