    I wouldn’t be surprised if the imperialist lackeys started hurling their favourite anti-semitic slurs (“self-hating jew”) against her at this stage, if they haven’t already.

        Sorry, I should have said “rupture” instead of “break”

        I mean the relationship will rapidly change in ways that are hard to predict, and for the worse. Mexico is already seeking to join BRICS and attracting a lot of Chinese investment, these are antithetical to US interests.

        This could also result in some Jakarta Method bullshit to remove her and install a US puppet to hunt down leftists.

        Immigration, and particularly the visa program, is a factor of imperialist underdevelopment and dependency. The US vacuums up labor and then those workers send back remittances to their families, but because labor is the superior of capital it never makes up for the loss of labor power. Nevermind the fact that those workers often have their wages stolen and are subject to extremely dangerous working conditions.

        Trump’s coalition seems to have plans to blow this whole relationship up through a denaturalization scheme. Instead of superexploitation of migrant workers, they want to turn people born in the US into noncitizens and use them instead.

        Nightmarish, but it’s hard to see Mexico not pivoting towards the BRICS after that.

      Mexico cowtows the American line; she was only allowed to say this because Biden wasn’t paying attention.

      Once it’s brought to his attention; she’ll never mention Gaza again.

    She’s calling for a two state “solution” though. I guess this could be considered her hiding her power levels, on account of the US being right above her. Still sucks though

      Hopefully someone with a better understanding will chime in if I’m at all off here, but from the standpoint of entities who are working on a larger scale, I believe the argument goes something like that a two state solution is incompatible with israel’s settler extermination goals, while also benefiting Palestine and Palestinian people vs. their current situation, and so sometimes it makes more sense as the position to take, even if it seems weaker on the surface than it is; because it is simultaneously the more diplomatic and peaceful position, while also being one that materially runs counter to what israel is about. For israel to truly embrace peace and accept the sovereignty and self determination of those they have dehumanized and targeted for extermination for decades implies losing the point of being out there in the first place, it implies having to give up on their ingrained culture of superiority and entitlement, it implies facing accountability on a large scale system level for what they have done in order to make the peace stick.
