CMV: A second Mexican-American war would be national suicide.
Someone who understands contemporary US military capabilities, please disabuse me of some potentially bullshit assumptions.
Is Trump just planning a little drug bust with a few commandos somewhere in Mexico so he can get a photo-op for Fox? Otherwise, I can think of few better ways to end American hegemony forever than a second Mexican-American War, which I believe is almost certainly what we'll get if we send ground troops there. Mexico City is over 4X bigger, hundreds of miles further inland and 2.5X higher up than Caracas.

Clearly an email marketing platform the likes of MailChimp or Brevo look promising, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone else recommends something different.
Just to clarify, we're a Microsoft shop.
tell me anything great that has happened to u recently!
hey!! my last post was actually one of these too, but i really enjoy reading positive stories out here.
i finished all my exams today and i'm so relieved to finally have time to rest!
