Eventually if enough immigrants get across and settle there it can be debated that the Mexicans are taking over the south west. Then again, Mexico did not belong to the Spanish, whose ancestors now make up the majority of the population. For arguments sake the land was stolen from the native Incas etc... Humankind is really good at screwing each other over. You're confusing people with Mexican background with the Mexican nation state. By your "logic" the USA is taking over San Miguel de Allende Mexico. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However as said, I am not in favor of Putin but I hardly think the behavior of the USA over the past 70 years puts in on a pedestal to be preaching righteous behavior to any other country. Really? I don't recall Mexico rolling an army across US borders and holding a sham referendum showing the southwest wanted to be part of Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humankind is really good at screwing each other over. Incas are in South America. The area covered by the current US was a patchwork of different indigenous tribes/cultures. Although getting the terms correct doesn't justify what was done to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised you haven't seen that in the news. Not on RT? One only has to look at the damage Putin has done to the people and to the country of Ukraine. The number of children taken to Russia for brain washing. Yes, he is the biggest war criminal of our time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are wars and there are war crimes. You take joy in your support of Putin's undiscriminate bombings of civilian targets. His troops committed war crimes on tapes. Has blind loyalty to Trump affected your moral compass? A war crime is a violation of the laws of war that gives rise to individual criminal responsibility for actions by combatants in action such as intentionally killing civilians etc (wiki).

The reason I used "bigoted" instead of "racist" is that it invites denials along the lines that Mexicans aren't a race, etc.. Using "bigoted" makes wading into that nonsense unnecessary.
