Seriously, did you even know that rule existed? You know, the whole state self-interest thing.
Look, we could join any military alliance we wanted, but let’s be real—every country eventually just picks a side between the global superpowers. That's just how it works. You're either picking the USA, Russia, or China; nobody else can really guarantee that kind of heavy-duty security. I guess if you look at Mexico, they actually have more reason to pivot—since they're constantly clashing with NATO, they have to find someone else to back them up just to stay safe. And at this point, Russia is pretty much the only option left on the table.

"every country has the right to choose its military direction."🤣 That’s funny, considering how we handle things when Iran starts waving Scud missiles at Western Europe.😁 It’s an all-or-nothing situation, there is no middle ground. Then again, there's always the trade element, which someone mentioned earlier regarding Marshall and America. Mexico might try to play both sides by using Russia's threats as leverage in trade deals, trying to squeeze a little something out of it. Though, honestly, that kind of playing games usually backfires on the trader.😁
