How is Mexico more powerful than Israel?

Here is some YouTube analysis of the Ukraine War over the past week or so:

NOTE: I did not post the titles, sources, etc. because my computer is getting wonky and it may not stay online that long. Sorry. Also, the News Source I have been most using has gone to a paid subscription I cannot afford.

The terms of this infusion include a guaranteed 11.25% return for 6 years. That seems ominous to me.

Will 2023 be the year slaughterbots will be introduced into warfare, especially the Ukraine?

Zeihan is also an enthusiastic supporter of Mexifornia. He thinks fusing the US ans Mexico into one is great. Well, it isn't. It will be a disaster. I don't think most of his analysis is worth anything. He's ridiculous.

Dark Ages, here we come.

Better a nearby friend than a distant foe.

Mexico is pro-Russian. How is it our friend? Mexico exports poverty and cartel violence. How is Mexico our friend?

Bringing production back to our Continent, they can take the lower end labor intensive and environmentally dirty industries from China who's now our enemy in the Eurasian Axis of Evil. We will need to make friends with anyone who can help us in this existential fight. Petty differences will disappear immediately as everyone joins to fight for survival.

The US was worth saving in the 90s; there was a collective culture that evolved as the country progressed, but which was unmistakably a continuation of the values of the previous generations.

Now societal norms are set by tiny minorities of untouchable special interest activists who openly express that this country was created by nothing but sin.

We're around peak Crisis level. Everything seems sh!try and we're lead by pathetic degenerates. That's how we know it's at or near peak Crisis. After the blow off top and breathtaking collapse, if you're still alive, then it will begin to get better again. Get over yourself and get ready for the real difficulties about to begin.

I know he's not popular here, but this argument makes sense, no?

The differences are not petty, ese.

Mexicans hate Americans and are actively helping our enemies, for example, Russia. Where have you been? Do you ever read the Mexican press or listen to what the Mexican president says daily? Or are you just pretending? Enough.
