I don't know who would win because the cartels are way better funded, equiped and trained; but they are way less psychotic and bloodthirsty than the yanks

In any case, nobody wants their employees fighting each other so HR is gonna cool down the situation

I don't think it would be simple to convince soldiers to inavde Mexico.

The United States invaded Mexico in 1916, with 10,000 troops led by John J. Pershing, and also intervened in the Mexican Revolution using war ships. It happened before, it can happen again. The only reason the USA did not coup Cardenas when he nationalized Mexico's oil industry and created Pemex in 1938 is because FDR needed Mexico's help in the lead-up to WWII - Trump has absolutely no mercy for Shinebaum or Morena in general.

I apologize if I may have unintentionally mislead you. I made no attempt to say it couldn't happen again. On the contrary, I was simply using comedy to allude to a possible false flag attack in order to justify an invasion.

The part you quoted was there to misdirect the reader to set up for the great merriment laid out later in the comment.

In all seriousness, massive layoffs and the destruction of the little social safety nets are going to funnel many desperate people into one of the few benefits-rich institutions in America: The Military.
