Mexico sees Russian gambit in Ukraine as chance for American land grab |
2014-03-23 |
Moved to Opinion On Friday, in Geneva, Mexico signaled alarm at the treatment of its large Mexican minority in the United States, comparing American actions to prevent the use of Spanish to attempts in Ukraine and Estonia to prevent the use of Russian. While Mexico's foreign policy has been generally benign toward the United States since hostilities in the Mexican-American War ended in 1848, the Latin-American country has been keeping a close eye on developing events in Ukraine's Crimea peninsula. Russia has maintained that annexation of the Crimea peninsula is justified because it has the right to protect Russian speakers outside of Russia's borders Mexican political leaders have taken note, perhaps sensing an opportunity to gain long-lost territory and increase the size of its economy by expanding northward into areas currently administered by the United States. Mexico has begun enthusiastically supporting protections for linguistic minorities, a Mexico City diplomat told the United Nations Human Rights Council. "Language must not be used to segregate and isolate groups," the diplomat said, according to details provided to The Daily Caller by the U.N. Mexico has officially expressed concern about "steps taken in this regard by belligerent elements in the United States." |

#7 The military power in San Diego could take out Latin America. I really don't think Mexico is actually planning any land gambit. They know better, they are angling for payouts and bribes like usual. |

#5 Awesome! In the 1930's and 1940's the US protected the border with 50 caliber machine guns. Now give us a reason to protect the border with machine gun nests again, gabacho. |

#3 Mexico has begun enthusiastically supporting protections for linguistic minorities, a Mexico City diplomat told the United Nations Human Rights Council. Except when it came to Mexicans of purer Spanish blood exploiting the indigenous local indian land and population down south. |
