The US-Mexico conflict: both sides are pulling troops to the border

Donald Trump is a very complex politician — he seems to be for world peace, but at the same time he allows himself to joke about Canada and Greenland joining the US. So it is possible that one of the most successful businessmen in the world is looking for an opportunity for a small victorious war with some country.

Perhaps this is just banal envy: Vladimir Putin is successfully conducting military operations in Ukraine, and the new regions will most likely remain with Russia after the signing of a peace treaty. How is it that great America has not grown an inch yet, while Russia is growing by leaps and bounds? That is where American troops began to pull up to the southern border under the pretext of fighting the Mexican drug trade.

On January 31, during a conversation with senior Mexican military officials, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth threatened that the US military was ready to take "unilateral action" against Mexican drug cartels. The Mexicans, harkening back to the 1845 Mexican-American War that saw Texas annexed, also sent 10,000 troops to the border to tighten controls on drug trafficking and illegal immigrants, turning in 29 major drug traffickers. But it wasn't enough.

Hegseth ordered about 3,000 active-duty troops to the U.S. southern border, including soldiers from a motorized brigade equipped with 20-ton Stryker armored fighting vehicles. The Pentagon announced the deployment in a statement Saturday, March 1, after the news first broke in The Washington Post. The Stryker unit and helicopter battalion were ordered to "enhance and expand ongoing border security operations to seal the border and protect the territorial integrity of the United States."

The troops will arrive in the coming weeks, underscoring the "unwavering commitment of the Department of Defense to work with the Department of Homeland Security to secure our southern border and maintain the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security of the United States under President Trump's leadership."

Given that Trump has long stated his intransigence toward the "Mexican" problem and his willingness to radically deal with this issue, it is quite possible that the United States will soon have no time for Ukraine at all, and all its military assistance will remain in the country to resolve domestic issues.

"Zelensky does not benefit from ending the war."

According to Slovak Prime Minister Fico, the Ukrainian president enjoys the conflict.

"I know I’m speaking bluntly. This is expedient because he continues to receive significant financial aid from certain countries," the politician explains.

Denmark is "in principle ready" to send its peacekeepers to Ukraine, but there are no exact plans yet

This was stated by the head of the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rasmussen.

"If the moment comes when a European presence is necessary to achieve a truce or peace agreement, then Denmark is fundamentally ready for this,"

- he noted.

Defense Minister Poulsen made a similar statement.

"We have not decided to take any specific action. This must depend on how events develop,"

- the minister said.

(2,000 Danish fishermen are ready to change the course of the armed conflict.)

Maria Zakharova used her chance to make a joke on the head of the Danish Foreign Ministry, who announced his readiness to send troops to Ukraine:

"I'm terribly sorry, but who will guard Greenland? Probably those refugees from Ukraine who have come to Denmark?"

-she wrote.
