Honestly, I think invading Mexico would be harder than it sounds.
That being said, the main difference between the US and Russia is that there’s no way the US would fail to gain air superiority.
It'd basically be impossible to occupy even with a large draft/mobilization. Mexico is 3x the size and population of Ukraine and the terrain varies between mountain jungles and desert plains.
America wouldn't have an issue handling their military, but a counter insurgency war would be unwinnable.
Exactly, the occupation would be completely unviable.
Genocide, you say?
Nonsense, just look at viet- Ira- Afghani- Uhhh.
We achieve Air Superiority and then use that to build a McDonalds and a Starbucks on every street corner. It's a perfect plan!
Agreed on both points.
