but but i thought she was a zionist!
I wouldn’t be surprised if the imperialist lackeys started hurling their favourite anti-semitic slurs (“self-hating jew”) against her at this stage, if they haven’t already.
Trump getting reelected could produce a fundamental break between the US and Mexico.
lol thats bullshit, the us simply cannot break trade relations with mexico.
You say that like the US would not try to strong arm and threaten to break trade relations. This is something I 100% see happening, and I hope, and truthfully expect Mexico to stand up to, but it is something I see as very likely for the US to attempt
Its empty threats, they literally cant decouple from México. In fact many industries are moving their production to México in what they call “nearshoring” in an attempt to decouple from China. They can’t decouple from China and México at the same time.
This conjuction provides a ton of leverage for México, which fortunely coincided with the first nationalist gov in decades.
Fortunately for us mexicans, the USA has a lot in its plate at the moment with the active fronts and their plans to destabilize China with Taiwan. The current pressure over our country is with the reform of the judiciary branch, the energy sector(where even Washington’s John Kerry came to extort us) and their implementation of the migrant “solution”. Some of the pressure is done through the NED funding of some prominent ONGs that in turn fund the opposition to Morena.
Sorry, I should have said “rupture” instead of “break”
I mean the relationship will rapidly change in ways that are hard to predict, and for the worse. Mexico is already seeking to join BRICS and attracting a lot of Chinese investment, these are antithetical to US interests.
This could also result in some Jakarta Method bullshit to remove her and install a US puppet to hunt down leftists.
Mexico has not expressed interest in joining BRICS actually, this has been officially debunked:
This has been a talking point pushed by the (comprador) opposition to align us with “the axis of evil”, AKA the wrong side of history (fucking liberals) but its not true. Mexico is in an unique spot compared to other global south nations, our main trading partner is the US we cannot simply detach so its in our best interest to play both sides in this unique situation.
Immigration, and particularly the visa program, is a factor of imperialist underdevelopment and dependency. The US vacuums up labor and then those workers send back remittances to their families, but because labor is the superior of capital it never makes up for the loss of labor power. Nevermind the fact that those workers often have their wages stolen and are subject to extremely dangerous working conditions.
Trump’s coalition seems to have plans to blow this whole relationship up through a denaturalization scheme. Instead of superexploitation of migrant workers, they want to turn people born in the US into noncitizens and use them instead.
Nightmarish, but it’s hard to see Mexico not pivoting towards the BRICS after that.
Mexico cowtows the American line; she was only allowed to say this because Biden wasn’t paying attention.
Once it’s brought to his attention; she’ll never mention Gaza again.
She’s calling for a two state “solution” though. I guess this could be considered her hiding her power levels, on account of the US being right above her. Still sucks though
Hopefully someone with a better understanding will chime in if I’m at all off here, but from the standpoint of entities who are working on a larger scale, I believe the argument goes something like that a two state solution is incompatible with israel’s settler extermination goals, while also benefiting Palestine and Palestinian people vs. their current situation, and so sometimes it makes more sense as the position to take, even if it seems weaker on the surface than it is; because it is simultaneously the more diplomatic and peaceful position, while also being one that materially runs counter to what israel is about. For israel to truly embrace peace and accept the sovereignty and self determination of those they have dehumanized and targeted for extermination for decades implies losing the point of being out there in the first place, it implies having to give up on their ingrained culture of superiority and entitlement, it implies facing accountability on a large scale system level for what they have done in order to make the peace stick.
I honestly think that in order to reach a “1 state solution” they have to go through the 2 state solution. Israel as its currently exists cannot coexist with arabs and, thanks to israel barbarism, arabs cannot tolerate israelis. They need decades of goodwill to amend the decades of barbarism, obviously the new Israel state has to be fundamentally different than the current Israel otherwise no progress will be made.
Algeria liberated itself from France without the need for a “2-state” solution. Haiti, India, China, Lebanon, Syria, and many other nations have freed themselves from colonialism, without the need for a less than useless “2-state solution.”
