Later, it will come to light that the Mexican puppet\u2019s cabinet was hand-picked by a woman in the Russian Office of Foreign Affairs, and her choices for the positions include fascists and Nazis too. <\/p>\n<p>2015: Widespread rebellion erupts against the Russo-Mex regime in the border states of Sonora and Chihuahua, largely inhabited by English speakers with cultural loyalties to the US. <\/p>\n<p>2016-2021: Mexico wages brutal war on its two breakaway provinces and its own people within them, bombing and killing a few rebels and hundreds of civilian Chihuahuans and Sonorans.<\/p>\n<p>2016-2021: The US issues strongly worded statements against the southern Mexican regime, and warns that they consider the situation a threat to American security. <\/p>\n<p>2018-2019: Russia invites the Mexicans to join the Warsaw Pact and begins pumping billions of dollars of weapons into Mexico. Russian \u2018defense contractor\u2019 stocks soar. <\/p>\n<p>2020: The Russian opposition party attempts to impeach Putin, on the shaky ground that he is said to have delayed some weapons shipments to Mexico by a few weeks. The attempt fails on party lines.<\/p>\n<p>2022: The American government formally recognizes the breakaway Mexican states as independent and then sends US troops into them to eject the Mexican forces, effectively deciding the outcome of the  north-south Mexican Civil War. <\/p>\n<p>The entire Russian-aligned state media erupts in outrage at American Aggression. But their ratings soar just as high as weapons manufacturer profits. <\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>With luck, it will be easy for you to see what I did there. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m furious today, not with Putin or Zalensky.
