Mitch McConell says the quiet part out loud.

Exact full quote from CNN:

“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

Ok, according to what you're saying, Mexico can never join BRICS if the US says no. Is that what you think? The US can be a pretty rabid animal too, as you say.

Well, BRICS isn't really a formal alliance but if it were? Yeah, joining a hostile alliance while sharing a border with the US is asking for trouble, and the US has committed all matter of atrocities in latin america. I do think an outright invasion would be less likely than their usual method of military coups and death squads.

So just to reiterate, you are okay with America invading Mexico to enforce its will on them?

Mate, it’s not hard.

It’s a yes or no question.

Your question wasn't for me. And no, USA should give back all the land they stole from Mexico. And until they do that, it's ridiculous for them to expect Russia to return land that's populated with Russian ethnics to a fascists state that tried to exterminate them before the war.
