Mexican cartel militants have fired across the border at a U.S. Border Patrol as the United States deploys troops there.

    While I’m somewhat mystified getting US news from a Ukrainian military news site (no offense meant, OP, seems like a local source for you), acts like this being publicized widely will fan the flames for the designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations by the new administration.

    Now, I’m not sure cartel action against border patrol counts as “terroristic” in my book, but that won’t matter.

      They’re just re-reporting something from Fox News.

      This story seems to be circulating exclusively through right-wing news. Just took a quick look but Newsweek is probably the furthest left reporting this. Otherwise, it’s like NYPost, Daily Mail, News. com. au and a bunch of also-rans of right-wing news media.

    I bet you, US blames Mexico, tells them to control their cartel or we go to war.

    …More shooting… US goes to war with Mexico.

    Same deal with Canada, something triggers war.

    USA now controls all of North America, all the way down to and including Panama.

    Fuck this place.
