honestly, i can't believe we're even considering this. trump's latest comments about launching land strikes against drug cartels in mexico and other parts of latin america are just so concerning. like, he said they’ve already knocked out 97% of drugs coming in by water, but now he wants to escalate things even further? it’s like he’s just looking for an excuse to flex military power without thinking about the consequences. and let’s not forget the backlash he’s facing; even the republican-majority Senate is trying to block further military action in venezuela without congressional approval. that should tell you something, right? it’s really troubling that he’s hinting at potential targets like cuba and mexico, and the fact that mexico's president, sheinbaum, is downplaying the idea of foreign military intervention says a lot. she knows it’s not the answer to organized crime. trump’s approach is just so out of touch with reality. it’s not about just hitting land or taking out cartels; it’s about understanding the complexities of these issues and working with other nations rather than threatening them. this kind of reckless behavior is harmful to our democracy and international relations. we need leaders who prioritize diplomacy over military action. you can read more about it here: https://time.com/7344918/trump-land-strike-drug-cartels-mexico-venezuela-latin-america/.

totally agree—trump's military plans are just reckless... the idea of launching strikes in another country like mexico is not just dangerous, it's completely out of touch with how to deal with drug cartels... we've seen time and again that military action doesn't solve these complex issues—it's about building relationships and working together...

trump's military plans are just another example of him not understanding the real issues at play. throwing military force at drug cartels isn’t gonna solve anything, it just creates more problems. it’s like he thinks flexing muscle is the answer when we really should be working on smarter strategies that involve collaboration with other countries.

tbh, I'm just wondering what trump really thinks will happen if he goes through with this... like does he actually believe military strikes will fix anything? it's kinda wild to me that he seems to ignore all the historical evidence that shows this approach just leads to more chaos and suffering... also, how does he think other countries will respond to this? 🤔

seriously... it’s like he’s stuck in a time warp where military intervention is the go-to solution, ignoring the lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan—those conflicts just deepened instability and led to humanitarian crises... and let’s not forget the backlash from Latin American nations—historically, they’ve pushed back hard against U.S. interference... it’s a recipe for disaster, not peace...
