Documents show how Russia's troll army hit America

171. I do not believe the US wants to invade Mexico

that would send hundreds of thousands of Mexicans over the border. The US clearly has an interest in political stability in Mexico. Surely you can see that. If the Mexican state collapses, it will be because of the drug war and the power of the narcotraficantes. The overriding interest of the US is to prevent that, not further it along. They would prop up governments, find quick replacements, and work as quickly as they could to restore order. That would be done through influence rather than tanks, which would only further destabilize the situation. I would expect they'd dispatch the military to the border, however, to keep the conflict and people from coming over. Mexico has always enjoyed a different relationship with the US than the rest of LA precisely because of the border.

The CIA--actually the US government as a whole, not always the CIA-- did it hundreds of times in Latin America, not everyday. That is something I happen to know a bit about. I have opposed those interventions since I fist learned of them in my teens and attended many a CISPES demonstration. I certainly am not going to turn around and justify the same behavior by Russia, nor should any other leftist of principle.

As I said near the beginning of this discussion, we shall she if the editor publishes the document. Then you can examine it yourself.
