We are not threatening anyone.…
We have made it clear that any further NATO movement to the east is unacceptable. There’s nothing unclear about this. We aren’t deploying our missiles to the border of the United States, but the United States IS deploying its missiles to the porch of our house. Are we asking too much? We’re just asking that they not deploy their attack systems to our home…. What is so hard to understand about that?”
Imagine if the Mexican army started bombarding American ex-pats living in Mexico with heavy artillery rounds killing thousands and leaving thousands more wounded. What do you think Joe Biden would do?
Would he brush it off like a big nothing-burger and move on or would he threaten the Mexican government with a military invasion that would obliterate the Mexican Army, level their biggest cities, and send the government running for cover?
