God, I love President Trump. He is not afraid like that impotent Joe Biden.
As obvious as it is, Right is right, wrong is wrong, regardless of who says it. Thank you Mr. President. Please don’t forget about Oakland,CA. We can’t go for a burger joint.
I fully support the war against the cartels just no proxy wars.

A country that incites a war of aggression (without just cause, such as self-defense) faces severe consequences spanning legal, economic, diplomatic, and military domains. Aggression is considered the "supreme international crime" under international law.
Legal and Judicial Consequences
Violation of International Law: Inciting unprovoked war violates core international agreements, especially the UN Charter, which prohibits the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.
State Responsibility and Reparations: The aggressor state incurs state responsibility, which can lead to orders for reparations (compensation) to the victim nation for the damage caused.
Individual Criminal Accountability: Key decision-makers in the aggressor nation can face prosecution for the crime of aggression in international courts, such as the International Criminal Court (ICC), or in national courts under universal jurisdiction principles. They may also be tried for associated war crimes and crimes against humanity.
War Crimes Trials: Individuals who commit or order grave breaches of the laws of war can be held individually accountable and prosecuted, regardless of their rank.
Economic and Diplomatic Consequences
International Sanctions: The United Nations Security Council, or individual nations/blocs, can impose severe economic sanctions, trade embargoes, and financial restrictions on the aggressor nation, crippling its economy.
Diplomatic Isolation: The country is likely to become diplomatically isolated, facing expulsion from international organizations, severance of diplomatic relations, and loss of international standing and influence.
Loss of Territory and Sovereignty: If the war is lost, the aggressor may face loss of territory, a change in government, or even a loss of sovereignty, potentially becoming a client state or being forced to pay war reparations to the victor.
Military and Human Consequences
Military Response: The victim nation has the right to self-defense, and allied nations (such as through mutual defense pacts like NATO) may intervene militarily to restore peace and security.
Military and Economic Destruction: The conflict itself leads to immense human and economic costs, including casualties, destruction of infrastructure, and diversion of national resources away from economic growth and well-being.
Long-Term Instability: Inciting war often results in long-term regional instability, an ongoing information war, and enduring hostility from the victim nation and the international community. No it's not that cartels are paying it's that there are rules to war. These were treaties that have been signed long before! Trump is violating them. He is not fit for the presidency! He has no idea! This is why Congress is and always has been a part of the decision to go into war! American has rules citizens must follow and countries have rules the rulers must follow. The government doesn't stop at the presidential seat in the United States! I ask you one question, if you have 12 houses on your street is it smart to pick fights with all 12 at once? What if all 12 teams up? can you fight all 12 at once! You pick your battles wisely and eventually you could conquer all 12 one by one! If you fight all 12 you might just get your whole family unalived. The things Trump is doing is reckless! Remember when the US kept going after Fidel Castro and Russia sent missiles into Cuba? The American government had to back up. Why are we repeating the same mistakes? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result! Just because you hold your nuts it doesn't mean you're invisible sometimes it means you're just stupid!
