New York Times sent a letter to AMLO requesting comments prior to their latest hit piece. He debunked it point by point live, calling the NYT "a filthy rag" and "world-famous professional slanderers".

These CIA-planted stories used to have legs, but not anymore. No one except the alwaysthesamemap countries believes them.
AMLO holds nothing back lol. Calls the NYTimes a tabloid and a filthy rag multiple times.
And clearly implies that NYT is just a tube of US government.
The entire article boils down to: anonymous source said X, Y, Z, no investigation done to confirm it.
The most egregious one is this one imo: "Investigators obtained information from a third source suggesting that drug cartels were in possession of videos of the president’s sons picking up drug money, records show."
We have incriminating videos. How do you respond?
Show us the videos.
He also doxxed the writer LMAO
King shit. Anyone buying a word the NYT has to say about anything, is worse than braindead IMO
I absolutely hate how outlets like NYT are seen as having no biases by most people in western mainstream. Libs just take whatever they report as fact and if you question it, then you're a conspiracy theory weirdo whose opinion can be safely discarded.
My favorite part is when the NYT says the US backed down over a diplomatic crisis, wheb I have from fairly credibile sources that the US will juat invade mexico and deal with a law enforcement matter for them whenever a big enough company asks them too. Also the US's record of behavior the only country they might maybe be scared of is the PRC and I sometimes think they are not smart enough to be scared of them
They're definitely not smart enough to be sufficiently cautious. That there are US troops on Kinmen (right next to Xiamen- a city on the mainland) right now is all that needs to be said.
Honestly, unless the US tears itself apart prior, I expect WW3 in due time.
At this point I almost expect the US to do WW3 to delay their collapse, and I would not be opposed to fighting in it... neath the red flag
Mexico desperately needs a better military to withstand this kind of bullshit. At the current rate, the US is gonna try to coup Mexico soon. Once the US starts collapsing for real, Mexico is the first place American fascists are gonna expand into. The current Mexican air force is composed of 40 propeller plane fighters, and the other Army and Navy don't look much better.
There's a sort of logic to having a weak military in Mexico. Their only land neighbours are the USA, Guatemala and Belize. Neither south neighbour is a threat, and despite the USA being really inefficient there's no way Mexico could fight toe-to-toe with them if they were directly invaded.
They also don't have any strategic overseas rival like an imperialist power would.
So not only can you save lots of budget in the military, but it also reduces the harm that a well-funded and organised military can be to the "internal enemy", which is usually poor, indigenous, black or otherwise marginalised people. (Usually with the cover of "combatting drug trafficking")
Bribing the military is also part of the CIA modus operandi for interfering in Latin America. Just look at the current investigation on the Bolsonaro coup attempt and how many of the relevant generals took part in the MINUSTAH.
But I also don't think the USA will ever be able to directly attack Mexico without gigantic repercussions to themselves. They're better off just doing another Allende.

while that's true, the military is also the only institution that, if co-opted, could be used in a theoretical situation against local police, which is usually armed to the teeth in countries where drug trafficking is serious enough
when bolsonaro had his pathetic military parade, with tanks fuming like old chevettes (to the point where it became a meme), i was only happy until i remembered how our local police are pretty much brownshirts bearing automatic rifles
Also to add to your comment, narcos literally recruit from or start out as military units. Minimum military for a country like this just makes more sense. Mexico's not Iran.
Incredibly based
Mexico is getting insanely based lately! 🇲🇽
Them's the facts
el peje splitting their mandarina in gajos...
off topic but when i was scolling down the very top of this video was just barely showing and it looked like a hallway of cartoon limp dicks for a second... maybe i need to go outside more

Camaradas, tenemos una comunidad de corte socialista en español en discord, está empezando a tomar vuelo.
En general compartimos memes, noticias y la pasamos bien. Eventualmente me gustaría a mí crear propaganda.
