A soldier with the Texas National Guard allegedly fired a gun near the U.S.-Mexico border, hitting a 22-year-old man across the border in Mexico.
Mexican authorities and an advocate for human rights say the bullet crossed the border from El Paso on Saturday near the Bridge of the Americas.
It then struck the man in the leg in Ciudad Juarez.
According to the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR), that man was not attempting to cross the border, but practicing sports with a group.
That is quite literally an act of war.
An act of war is only such if the other side recognises it as such.
So if Mexico decide to see this has an isolated incident that can sorted out with some phone calls and hand wringing then it ‘quite literally’ isn’t.
And of course that’s what going to happen. To the point where it’s not even worth mentioning that war will happen. In short, a rediculous comment.
No…”An action that would justify the initiation of hostilities against the perpetrator”
Mexico could use this event to justify war against the US. As you say, they will not — but they could if they wanted.
if they were completely nuts sure
Could you imagine the actual amount of ass kicking Mexico would receive of they declared war on the US?
Well, probably not. The US might just fortify its border with troops and material and try to talk them down. All while blasting anything that comes across the border.
Alamo 2 has a ring to it though
That is quite literally an act of
warFREEDOM, YEEEHAWW.America sucks. We are a gold plated garbage country of sociopathic owners and battered spouse peasants.
That said, no one wants to fuck with the war machine we maintain in lieu of funding the well-being of our society.
For context, there are 11 nuclear powered aircraft carriers on Earth, arguably the most potent Warfare platform Mankind has ever developed.
10 of those 11 are American. France has 1. Our supposed greatest threats are still rocking diesel powered junk.
An act of stupid
Isn’t that what the Republicans want?
