Told ya'll, zero chance we'd do it. Doesn't matter what international agreement we signed, it's not worth the risk. Sorry for signing that and not following through but asking us to arrest a head of state of a major superpower is too much.
Than why invite him?
We try to stay neutral with all countries and AMLO has taken it to heart. We know he's not coming but the government is still doing it to be polite, avoid confrontation, and secure future relations, afaik. It's putting ourselves first. But honestly, he shouldn't have been invited in the first place. Fuck Putin. I hope Sheinbaum takes a more decisive stance and does the right thing but who knows.
I don't think anyone's surprised. I do wonder though, if Putin has the guts to show up even with this assurance.
Not a chance. Someone(s) could easily make one, or all, of the Cartels an offer they couldn't refuse to either make him disappear or make him disappear from Mexico and magically reappear at The Hague.
That's what I thought! And yet there were surprises to be had in some other comments section arguing that because Mexico signed an extradition agreement, we'd be forced to follow through somehow.
Probably something to do with Leon Trotsky
In Mexico City:
Damn - my mind was going with an elaborate axe forged from ice – before it finally realized we might have meant climbing equipment.
Did you seriously just call a third world gas station a super power? Just because they claim to have Soviet nukes that still work doesn't make them relevant.
Uhh... yes? I can't find a single source that doesn't list Russia as one of the top 5 most powerful countries.
