The contradictions within the US wouldn't allow for a Blitzkrieg through Latin America, the military is struggling to recruit and there's tens of millions of people living here who have close family across the continents. Not just undocumented immigrants, but generations of immigrants of all documentation statuses. And they can all buy guns. There's no way this works.
only the police might be scared of a civilian with a gun; there's absolutely no contest with the military, even as diminished as it seems right now.
Every terrorist organization is just civilians with guns.
And those people with guns could shut society down. Good luck doing a Blitzkrieg when the factories are closed, the fields go unharvested, and the railroads stop. You're really underestimating how much unrest would be caused be the US going South to kill people's families.
And Mexico won't just sit there and take it. The Mexican army is a modern, well equipped army and has plenty of combat experience within Mexico, what with having to fight the cartels with their CIA tactics and American made weapons. Mexico can also develop a nuclear weapon with ease but deliberately chooses not to as policy.
Not saying Mexico would recapture all the shit the US stole or that it wouldn't be a horrible blow to Mexico, but if people think it'd be the gulf war again they need to check what happened when the US invaded Afghanistan.
The US would lose its biggest trading partner and the BRICS sphere would likely immediately gain the second biggest manufacturing economy in all of America.
How'd Afghanistan go?
