The curious part of the story is this;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>U.S. military officials have been hesitant to discuss publicly their growing ties with Mexico, for fear of triggering a backlash among a Mexican public wary of interference.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Do the Mexican public really think that we want to invade? Seriously? For what? We don&#8217;t have enough dusty shit holes in our own country? Why should we invade when the whole Mexican nation is trying to move here.<\/p>\n<p>The last time we sent troops to Mexico was in 1916 when Pancho Villa assaulted some border towns in the US. Before that it was 1846 when Mexican troops tried to claim parts of Texas on the north side of the Rio Grande.<\/p>\n<p>The lesson, I suppose, is that if you don&#8217;t want US troops in Mexico, you should keep your shit on the south side of the border.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Post reports that the US military is training Mexican troops to fight in the &hellip; <a title=\"US training Mexican troops\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=21131\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">US training Mexican troops<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-foreign-policy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21131\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
