Even Mexico has no respect for us. We’re the laughingstock of the world.
Two U.S. soldiers were confronted and one disarmed at gunpoint earlier this month by Mexican troops operating on the American side of the border, military officials confirmed Wednesday.
A Mexican soldier reportedly took the service pistol from the hip of one of the American soldiers.
The confrontation between the two sides took place south of the border fence but north of the actual border itself. The Mexican soldiers who approached the U.S. forces reportedly drew their weapons and ordered the American troops out of the vehicle.
Which drew this response from the Commander in Chief:
Mexico’s Soldiers recently pulled guns on our National Guard Soldiers, probably as a diversionary tactic for drug smugglers on the Border. Better not happen again! We are now sending ARMED SOLDIERS to the Border. Mexico is not doing nearly enough in apprehending & returning!

So… no consequences then? Just more Twitter bluster?
Sound familiar?
Does anybody think that China or Russia is worried about us?
