National Sovereignty is an interesting thing.

It extends to your border -- but not to people outside it.  Thus neither does your law, which is a problem when you permit something to go inside your borders that other nations get mad enough about to consider designating you -- or said entities -- terrorist organizations.

You can argue that a nation has a "right" to harbor such or has no obligation to suppress and put a stop to them if you'd like, and within a nation's borders, so long as their actions remain there, other nations typically will leave that alone.  They don't have to, but they usually will.

But as soon as they cross that border into another nation either in their effects or personally you got problems because you've already demonstrated either an inability or unwillingness to stop them.

Now Mexico is upset that several drug gangs have gotten that designation.

This, of course, could mean that we might drone them -- or do something even more-direct (like send in troops to capture or kill them.)

Sheinbaum made the remarks after the Trump administration designated six Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, stoking fears that President Donald Trump may be setting up the possibility for U.S. military action inside Mexico.

"The Mexican people will not accept under any circumstances interventions, interference or any other act from abroad that could be harmful to the integrity, independence and sovereignty of the nation," Sheinbaum said.

Well that's rather simple: You either stop them, with finality, or we will including militarily and if you don't like it go **** yourself.

What are you going to do about it if we do?  Whine like a little bitch?  In all sobriety Mexico has little other choice, having deliberately refused to go after, arrest, imprison and if necessary kill these mother****ers for decades.

Former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Sheinbaum’s predecessor, had already written into Mexican law limits to how foreign agents could operate in Mexico, limiting their independence and requiring that Mexican authorities be informed of their movements. Sheinbaum proposes enshrining those limits in the constitution.

Oh boy we're so scared of your little laws when it comes to our military.

Go ask Saddam about that.  Or Khadafi. Or any one of a whole bunch of other *******s -- and may I remind you that you're a lot closer and thus its a lot easier and cheaper for us to come take care of the problem.

"What we want to make clear in the face of this designation is that we do not negotiate sovereignty," Sheinbaum said. "This cannot be an opportunity for the United States to invade our sovereignty."

Then put a stop to it.

Or whine like a little bitch when we do, because we're tired of your nation's **** in this regard and we're not going to be your toilet any longer.  By the way, this includes the raw sewage you pump into the ocean right near our western border.  Cut that **** out too, literally, or we might choose to collect it, fly over your cities and dump it back onto your heads.

You want to shoot back at us in defense of cartels and terroristic gangs?

That will end poorly for you, but if you're dumb enough to try it, well, you were warned.

Brrrrrrrrrt!

PS: For an example of how much we "fear" you I recommend you watch the Z fiasco at the Oval Office and learn something from it before you wind up with a nation that is as ****ed as Ukraine is.  We can secure our border with military muscle, and more to the point there are a hell of a lot of Americans -- probably more than a million of us -- who will bring their own weapons and ammunition to the border, set up camp and shoot anything that tries to cross should you think you can play "tough gal" with us.

Oh this is rich.

So after making a fool out of himself in the Oval Office -- remember, Z allegedly told Rubio he was ready to sign the minerals deal with no conditions -- he tried to renegotiate it on live television and add "security guarantees."

This was ****ing stupid.  Europe is only standing behind Z at the moment because all their aid was a loan.  If Z blows up and his government falls they get nothing and that's a ****-ton of money.  We, on the other hand, have a crap-ton of sunk cost with no return at this point and getting directly involved via any means is the sort of mistake that was made in WWI and WWII and if we do it this time we're likely to get a nuclear war out of it.  No thanks.

Never mind that the US taxpayer has been funding his government.  Its one thing to provide some guns and ammunition to a "friend" when they need it, but this evil ********** thinks we have an obligation to pay his government worker salaries and pensions on top of that.  Where the hell did that "obligation" come from?

Finally, there is obviously an implied security factor in that the last thing Putin wants to do is blow up American citizens extracting minerals under license from some nation on said territory.  Is that a "strong" guarantee?  Not really but its the best he is going to get.

Incidentally in that "best you're gonna get" category is also ceding the Crimea and the Eastern provinces full of ethnic Russians and with those becoming a DMZ thus protecting Russia's 12 month naval port and providing immediate evidence if Ukraine thinks shelling people living there (on their own land) is a good idea in the future as, I remind you, they did just before the war broke out.

Trump was having nothing of this arm-twisting via crooked means and with damned good cause.

He not only ripped Z a much-deserved new ******* (as did Vance) on television but rather than apologize that ****head then went on Fox with Brett Bair and doubled down on his insane demands which have no basis in fact, law or anything other than his delusional mind!

He thinks we owe him and Ukraine something!

We owe Ukraine nothing.

Further, Z admitted in that interview to coming here under false pretense -- knowing ******n well he would not sign the deal without "security guarantees" after telling Rubio and Trump he would.

In short that ********** negotiated in bad faith and then was stupid enough to admit it on national television.

**** him, **** his nation, **** them all.

Pull all aid to Ukraine -- every bit of it. All money, all arms, all logistics, all humanitarian assistance, all grid assistance and equipment, all of it.

You negotiate in bad faith and try to run a line of guilt on national television you get nothing.

He's lucky he wasn't immediately escorted to his aircraft, told to get the **** out of US airspace escorted by armed fighters -- and then turned into red mist via a missile from said fighters up his ass as soon as he cleared said airspace.

Period.

I predicted this, and now its happened.

Oh yeah, it hasn't been "recognized" yet, but it will be.

There are reports that Zelinsky is drafting women.  You don't do that unless you're out of fighting-age men who can actually fight.  Note that the soyman who runs away or spends his time butt****ing and/or preening can't actually fight, and you must have people who can.  When you even contemplate drafting women you've made a statement that you're out of competent fighting men.  This is similar to what the NVA did after Tet and what Iran did, but both grabbed literal boys, shoved rifles in their hands and sent them out to die.  Which they did, in size.  The war was over in that case both times, but not yet admitted.  In the former case we literally walked away from a win thanks to Cronkite and the stupidity of the American people buying his bull****.  Thus it is here, except this time its just money, much of which has been siphoned off by defense contractors and the families of politicians -- like ****face Biden.

Russia has employed a nasty and very effective strategy which our so-called "punditry" has entirely failed to understand.  Putin's folks lob artillery shells at the other guys; anything within 10-20 miles of their weapons gets pulverized.  With satellite and UAV targeting and fire direction these are wildly effective -- and cheap.  He can do this all day long for almost no money.  He blasts away until your force is cut in half, creating a no-go zone where if you stick your head up to try to return fire it gets blown up and then slowly does a pincer on one of the pieces, making the perimeter ever-smaller until they either surrender or are all dead.  Then he goes after the next one, and so on.

Ukraine has proved incapable of hitting Putin's field pieces as they do not have air superiority and man-portable stuff does not have the range to hit them.  Thus Putin can do this with impunity -- and is.

Yeah, Russian soldiers are dying.  But Ukraine is losing both men and material at a much higher rate, and slowly, one-by-one, all the places in the eastern part of the nation are having their Ukrainian troops removed.  In pieces.

At the same time the so-called Russian Sanctions have blown up spectacularly in the western world's face.  Russia now has a stronger currency than it did before the war we instigated began.  Oil and Natural Gas, never mind things like fertilizer, are nice and expensive which suits Putin just fine.  He has negotiated long term interchange with China for both and is building out the capacity to wildly increase same.  Europe is ****ed down the road as a result and in the meantime they got nothing for all these "sanctions."

For that matter so are we.  We've sequestered our inflationary deficit spending overseas via the China/US (and other nations, including India) trade deficit for the last two decades.  That's over and will never come back because none of the nations that we were doing it with have any reason to allow it ever again and they don't need to.  Not a single member of the Fed or other "economic punditry" has said one word about this although I sure as Hell have.  At the same time Russia is shipping oil to these nations who then cross-ship it back, some refined first, and there's absolutely no way to do anything about that since we're incapable of sanctioning either without instantly detonating our supply chains, offshored labor or both.  As a result we can no longer spend in deficit without it reflecting back into inflation which means the "free ride" this gave has been terminated and while this was always eventually going to end we did this to ourselves and thus the inflation you're seeing and will continue to see was and is caused directly by our policies and our government.

Thus the only way to stop the inflation is to stop deficit spending -- all of it -- right now.

Biden and his vunt nutjob Nuland along with many others royally ****ed up.  There's nothing to be done to salvage this; you can't directly engage in armed combat with Russia without everyone glowing in the dark and everyone with 2 or more IQ points knows it.

We had better reverse course on all of our insanity with regard to energy now -- including oil, natural gas and especially coal, which has a stable long-term price structure or we're going to get ****ed.  The economy here will fold back into a deep, nasty inflationary recession materially worse than the Carter Stagflation, which I remind you we caused with our stupidity related to the Arab Oil Embargo.

Further, we can no longer spend, at the federal level, anything we do not first tax from someone.  I do not give a wet crap what the excuse is from the left or right it all stops now or we will continue to get a wild inflationary spike, demand destruction will inevitably follow and so will severe civil unrest when the blackouts start along with the inability to fund food or even worse -- civil war.

If you're flying a Ukraine flag, *******s, you are the identified enemy right here at home, thank you very much for wearing an enemy uniform openly in public and you deserve to be forced to pay every damned dime of the economic cost to this nation for that act of STUPIDITY.   You ALL deserve the worst of what is to come AND IT IS COMING, like it or not.  I and many others will do our level best to make sure YOU and your entire family eat that cost -- every damn cent of it.  You are the most-stupid follower of the "next shiny object" and frankly, you are too ****ing stupid to consume oxygen that could and should instead be used by something like a hog that actually produces a useful end product -- tasty bacon.

Give me a break, *******.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky offered a dire outlook on the war Sunday, saying he is willing to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin — but failure at peace talks could lead to World War III.

“I’m ready for negotiations with him,” Zelensky told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria in an interview. “I was ready for the last two years. And I think that without negotiations, we cannot end this war.”

Stop lying.

The conditions for peace were quite simple and put forward by Russia both before the invasion and have not been expanded.  You know damn well what they are and they're reasonable too.

You have deliberately violated all four of the below for the last two years and you've done it with malice aforethought.  Are you ready to cut that **** out or do you think any of the below expectations are unreasonable?  If so then explain why.

• Ukraine does not enter NATO.  Ever.  Amend the Constitution.
  
  
• Crimea is Russian.  It has been since before the Tsars and in fact was formally purchased by Catherine the Great in 1783, putting formal documents and money to what had previously been the case.  It is as Russian in terms of tenure as the original 13 American states and is as legitimately so as our Louisiana Purchase, being paid for in good funds.  If several States had no right after the fact to void their alliance with Washington DC (and Lincoln, by extension, had every right to burn half the South to cinders to enforce DC's demand they stay) then Russia has every right to enforce your theft of their land which Russia purchased over 200 years ago as well.  Never mind that the Ukraine government effectively declared a civil war on Crimea, which Ukraine had no right to govern in the first place other than by mutual assent -- and in response the territory seceded from your bull****.  (Wouldn't you under those circumstances?)  As for the Donbas that likely needs to be independent, simply because you won't leave them alone, you and your predecessor shelled the territories on and off for the last eight years and the people there overwhelmingly identify as Russian.  They don't like you and would prefer you be dead, they have good cause for that and your best disposition to that which the last two administrations caused is to leave them alone.  Let them go.
  
  
• Your Azov brigades are removed, period and if that **** (which is indeed reasonably called "Nazi") shows up again you send the people doing it to the Hauge to be tried and hanged by the neck until dead.  The bull**** that has gone on since 2014 in Donbas stops and since bad faith has been demonstrated there for years demilitarization of the entire nation may be necessary.  The fine details of that are likely subject to considerable negotiation but the Azov brigades, I'm reasonably certain, are either removed by you or every single person involved in it is going to die and every place they hide and use is going to be leveled by Russia.  Choose wisely.
  
  
• Ukraine destroys and removes, under International observation including Russian observation, all biological, chemical and nuclear material other than for civilian nuclear power production and does not engage in any activity that can be diverted or used for any other purpose.  Said obligation to permit full and unfettered access for verification is also written into your Constitution.

Putin is a bastard but so are you Zelinsky.  Outlawing by so-called "executive directive" opposition political parties, mandating Covid vaccines to obtain food and what amounts to a "universal basic income", removing the capacity for cash transactions thus forcing all social and political activity to be acceptable to you and the ruling political party under pain of literal starvation, forcing all media under your control (gee, so much for free speech) and similar, all of which you've done, are not the acts of a Constitutional Republic.  These are the acts of a jackbooted dictator and that makes you at least as much of an ******* as is Putin.

Let us not forget that Ukraine and Russia have been "intermingled" for more than 1,000 years and indeed without communist force of arms, under which was granted a "special administrative area" starting in roughly 1922 the boundaries on a map you call "Ukraine" would not exist.  Perhaps our Representatives and Senators were either asleep of smoking bong hits in history class but I was not and these are facts.  I'm well-aware of the history of your alleged "republic" in all of both its "glory" and suffering including many of your ancestors joining the Nazis and slaughtering Jews and Gypsies on the very land you call Ukraine, thinking the Germans were going to win, only to wind up on the wrong end of that bet when the Red Army stopped the Nazi advance and then came back through on their way to Berlin and unceremoniously arranged an immediate meeting for every single corroborator they could find with the Devil in Hell (there were a lot of them, by the way.)

You're hardly the land of clean hands and that landmass has gotten spanked repeatedly over the last 1,000+ years -- sometimes as a result of sectarian or religious hate and sometimes by nothing more than bad luck -- but then again clean hands are hard to come by in human history (including the US) so there you go.

At the same time whenever this dust-up ends we, the United States, should demand that all records relating to payment of any sums to any American person or politician paid out of or from Ukraine back to the breakup of the USSR be made 100% transparently public and auditable by anyone upon demand, with any fraud or bribery that points to any American politician, past or present, leading to immediate extradition of every involved person in Ukraine irrespective of their title to the United States for trial, judgment and imprisonment.  Yes, that might include YOU Zelinsky.

Your nation has been a cesspool of corruption, kickbacks, bribes and scams for decades and our current President and his family appears to have been embedded in that corruption up to their necks.

The recent admission by the NY Times that the Hunter Biden laptop was real, which your government and elements of ours both claimed were "Russian disinformation" for the explicit purpose of tampering with our election here in 2020 is, in my opinion, enough reason for the United States to flatten Kyiv and throw your ass in Gitmo to rot standing alone.  If you think our public would have voted for Biden having known that it was factual that his son and himself both profited directly and personally to the tune of millions from money funneled through your corrupt oligarchs you're out of your ****ing mind.

Your "standing ovation" in our Congress during your recent speech was likely, in my opinion, because those oligarchs in your broken and corrupt runt "nation" may have been funneling money to far more of our politicians than just Biden and his family, extending to people on both sides of the aisle with many of them scared of being lynched right here if the truth of it comes out and our population manages to snap out of its Russia-Russia-Russia torpor.

You wish to claim otherwise?  Prove it.

You can start with Biden and his family since it has been admitted to as fact and intentionally suppressed, also admitted, by our own media including our so-called "paper of record", The NY Times.

Let me remind you, Zelinsky, that you've been in office since being elected in May of 2019.  If you had any intention of cleaning up the cesspool of corruption in your nation and actually benefiting your people, who have a per-capita GDP of about $3,700 a year while your "arch-nemesis", Russia, sports about 3x the per-capita economic output, you would have done so by now.  Economically your population would be wildly ahead if you simply became part of Russia once again, as you were before.  Given that your nation has had more than 20 years to cut the crap yet hasn't done so I can only conclude you like the corruption and don't care if it screws the vast majority of your citizens straight up the ass.

Oh, speaking of corrupt oligarchs and corruption how in the Hell did you get your money, essentially all of which you seem to have acquired since becoming President?  You were hardly the Ukraine version of Elon Musk before being elected and it wasn't a small amount either, was it?  I understand you have over a billion dollars with something like $35 million of it in a posh Miami-area mansion.  True?

Is it indeed not fair to ask if your prime motivation in all of this is protecting your personal cash flow from said corruption and oligarchs in your own nation at your own people's expense, never mind the possibility of goading other nations into a quite-possible nuclear war so this entire charade does not collapse around your ears?
