Would Mexico survive a war against the US?

[the game]

So Trump basically warned Mexico not to mess with our soldiers at the border again. One has to wonder if Mexico is prepared to handle a war against the US if one broke out again.

Would the US survive a war against Mexico?

The country would collapse - internally.

You do know a similar thread got closed by a mod?

And there is not going to be a all out war with Mexico and Trump's statement never meant that. Only if they shoot at us, our soldiers would shoot back.

If the US would attack Mexico I think there will be an answer from others countries. But I don't think it will happen.

The answer from other countries is irrelevant. It's the 40+ million latinos and other people sympathetic to the Mexican cause/anti-war/anti-establishment/anti-Trump etc. in the US they would need to worry about.

We've attacked Mexico before, like six times. Occupied the capitol once.

They invaded us once, well, one of their rebels did, killed some Americans in New Mexico.

we could take mexico, but it would be another war like the war on terror has been. lots of guerilla warfare and some other nasty shit. plus, it would destabilize mexico and the rest of central america, and probably the carribbean to the point where it would be extremely detrimental to the US.

Not only would Mexico survive, they would win. Lets just say I'm glad I took a Spanish foreign language class in high school.

You mean like what they tried to do to Vietnam? Ya'll got some weird ass fantasies.

[Cyi]

Of course we would win. Surprised this is even a question.

Care to explain?

No one would win. The war would uproot the fabric of both countries for different reasons. The insurgency would be Syria level complicated as far as who is allied with and fighting who. The winners would be the people who move to another continent.

[Vankrys]

which side of the border the incident happened?

[JohnBrown1917]

Of course we would win. Surprised this is even a question.

?

Be sure to surpress those vietnam flashbacks tho.

For sure. We could take Mexico but not win it.

Going to war with one of our largest trading/business partners would be incredibly stupid, but that's conservatism for you.

What sort of absurd fucking fantasy is this?

If you think the current refugee crisis is bad, see what happens if you destabilize the entirety of Central America. Not to mention the cost of an occupation and the effect of the collapsing trade, ESPECIALLY in the already economically backwards southern states.

The US has not won a conflict since Desert Storm.

Mostly you have spent billions of dollars and been badly outmanoeuvred by small numbers of insurgencies with homemade explosives.

It is not "politically correct" to point this out, but it is an objective fact. Your military is basically a useless white elephant.

You would probably manage to murder a lot of children and civilians. Most people don't consider that a "success".

[Bryntrollian]

Neither side would survive such an event.

What sort of absurd fucking fantasy is this?

America Has Been at War 93% of the Time – 222 out of 239 Years – Since 1776

It's in their nature.

[Kotuthan]

Yeah they would. The US said they would destroy the Afghan Mujahideen and now 10 years later they are working on a peace treaty with them.
