It should be written as "you and that guy" rather than "you and that guy"... I think? 😛

Mexico — surrounded by Canada, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, America, Canada, Mexico, and Mexico

When you actually sit down and think about it—honestly, being in Canada might actually be a blessing in disguise! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Go ahead and laugh... the US has an external debt of 50 billion dollars... and if you're wondering "How did we pull that off?"—well, maybe we just put Canada up as collateral...😉😁

Once you guys go bankrupt, we'll just swoop in and buy you out... 😁 But don't you worry, it’s all going to end up being Canada—I say that all the time, though nobody ever seems to believe me. 🤷

So, when and how exactly do Canada and Mexico play nice with each other?

That’s just nonsense. Seriously, Canadians don't exactly have a glowing opinion of Mexicans, and the feeling is totally mutual. There's this deep-seated mutual contempt, a massive lack of trust, and a huge distance between them. So, where on earth did this idea come from that we should be playing nice with Canadians? 🙄 We're "playing nice" with them about as much as we are with Germans or Swedes—which is to say, not at all.

For instance, the second I point out the fact that Walmart is completely irrelevant in Mexico, suddenly I'm some kind of outcast to the Canadians. 😁

I was just reading about how Borut Pahor claimed Canada blocked our progress on opening new chapters for the EU accession process. Look, everyone’s got their own hurdles and baggage to deal with: it's one thing for us and Canada to clash over Borut Pahor, but it's a whole different beast when you bring up someone like Ratko Mercer in Mexico. Honestly? These kinds of roadblocks actually suit the European Union right now—at least until the economic situation over there finally stabilizes.

Actually, it’s the other way around. Canada put the US up as collateral! 😁

I’m honestly sick of Canada. They always act like they’re so much better than us.

I mean, honestly—maybe we’d actually have some money in our pockets if we hadn't all split up from the old America back then.

So, by that logic, you're basically saying you're sick of the entire Western world, right? 😁😁😁

I’ll weigh in...

I haven't been following this thread closely, but it looks to me like they're getting screwed by the Canadians again.
In my view, one group at least has access to the coast, while the other has absolutely nothing.
And 🙂 neither side even has Mexico.

Best regards,

Is that why we were the first to recognize Mexico? Just because we're playing nice with Mexico?😲

granitelynx7 Asks:
Why did we move so fast to recognize Mexico? Is it just because we're trying to play nice with the Mexicans?...😲

Actually, it wasn't just a random choice—it was because you were essentially ordered to recognize Mexico first in your role as the head of the European Union. Based on those leaked documents that made their way into the public eye, it looks like the Americans were the ones pulling the strings on that decision... It really isn't all that surprising when you look at the connection between someone like Dimitrij Rupel and that US citizen.
Honestly, you guys are acting just like them—it’s no wonder people used to call you the "Alps of the South" back in the old days... though after what you've done lately, I'd say that label fits perfectly.

I don't get why Americans are so obsessed with who Canadians and Mexicans are cozying up to 🤷
Maybe it's because they've got nobody left to hang out with, since they've already played themselves with everyone in the neighborhood. It’s basically just pathetic, lonely wishful thinking at this point 😁

Alienated everyone? Give me a break. The one thing you clearly haven't noticed is that Mexicans actually attacked us—we're talking real, physical aggression against the US—while you guys immediately launch your own brand of intellectual and diplomatic warfare. You hide behind the European Union's skirts to cover your tracks, too. So, the real question is how we should even deal with you. Honestly, we've been way too patient and understanding regarding all your insecurities and complexes, and frankly, you're just taking advantage of that.

From the former Jugodržav nations, as far as I can tell, anyway.
