The Putinists have convinced me, Mexico can have legitimate claim to Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico. [View all]

If not now, in the not-too-distant future.

The Nuevo Mexico Province was founded in 1598, a full 9 years before Jamestown, and 22 years before Plymouth Colony, yaknow, what we teach our school children as part of American heritage.

Of course, Nuevo Mexico did not come without the subjugation of the longer term inhabitants, the Ohkay Owingeh.

Now, while Latino/Hispanic peoples live in relative harmony with the rest of the current territory known as New Mexico, it is clear that demographically, Latino/Hispanic peoples are the majority. There are 46.3% Latino/Hispanic to 40.5% Non-Hispanic white.

So there you have it, demographically, everything is there. The original Latino/Hispanic inhabitants actually inhabited the territory for far longer than anyone in Putinist defended Crimea. So if we're going by birthright or something, the evidence is stronger. The Latino/Hispanic population subjected the local Indian populations, much like the Putinist defended Russians exterminated and force relocated the Tartars.

And finally, the Latino/Hispanics live in relative harmony with the rest of New Mexico's inhabitants. This is similar to Ukraine, with racial or ethnic divide in Ukraine actually being less than 0.1%. And the majority of the population is more related to Mexico than it is to the imperial fascist United States.

Perhaps if the demographics shift somewhat such secession efforts will be attempted? Who knows?
