'International incident': 'Terrifying standoff' as US troops mistakenly invade Mexico

American troops "pulled up on a Mexican beach" and created a "terrifying standoff," according to a new report.

…

"US 'contractors' arrived by boat on Monday at Playa Bagdad, driving signs into the sand near where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico," the Thursday report states. "Alarmed witnesses quickly alerted officials and heavily armed Mexican security personnel rushed to the scene on trucks mounted with machine guns in a terrifying standoff."

The Pentagon, in a deeply embarrassing statement, admitted that its troops were mistaken when they landed on the beach. The Mexican personnel watched as the Americans drove six signs into the ground, which said: 'Warning: restricted area.' Written in English and Spanish, they claimed that the beach was the property of the US Department of Defense and had been declared restricted by 'the commander.' They also said unauthorized access or photography was not allowed in that area and that 'if you are found here, you may be detained and searched.' Mexico's foreign affairs ministry said its navy removed the signs from the sand, which it believed were on Mexican territory."

Ex-prosecutor Ron Filipkowski chimed in on social media on Thursday: "Apparently dips--- Hegseth’s 'lethal warfighters' landed inside the Mexican border by mistake and created an international incident."

7. The beach is south of where the

Río Bravo empties into the Gulf of México. Even when so much water has been diverted from the river that it doesn't reach the sea, anyone who can't tell the mouth of a river shouldn't be piloting a boat.

11. The delta where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico is 60' wide.

I just looked it up. That was a deliberate provocation by people working for Trump.

12. Were they Just Following Orders?

13. Like to know the chain of command that gave the orders to "invade".

What a dangerous clusterfuck!

More than embarrassing, considering what could have escalated.

The chain of command needs to be removed from command.

14. Certainly weren't following Maps...or they f'ed up their GPS....

There's some silver and gold oakleafs that are going to be retiring early over this.
Military Commanders carry responsibility for all mistakes their units make, and there is very rarely a chance to "fall upwards", especially if there's an international incident involved.
My assessment - Only possible explanation that doesn't involve pure incompetence and lack of leadership is if their GPS systems were hacked - not malfunctioning, hacked ...
And even then, gold braid wearing heads are going to roll - that is, if it wasn't a bunch of Prince's Mercs trying to prove their Christian Warriors are better and tougher than Marines...
