When we start getting shot trying to flee for our lives...not so much

in order to make it harder for Americans to cross the border, Mexican authorities will construct some kind of barrier, and pay for it out of their own pockets

we should be so lucky. Believe it or not chuds actually care about their grandparents and family. They will gladly blame it on whoever the usual boogiemen are. Maybe that's buisness as usual, but it sure as hell won't be like 'nothing happened'

Republicans are banking on whatever anger they do feel can be redirected however they like. Hence China.

A bunch of pages back but I gotta ask how you have a computer in 2020 that doesn't have a built in webcam? I have an old iMac and an old Thinkpad I bought for $20 each and they have webcams.

Easy, it's a DIY desktop and who the gently caress buys a webcam for a gaming/shitposting machine. Except now it's also my office computer and every meeting is zoom now ~for reasons~. I'm glad I bought a comfortable chair last year.

I could honestly see it working out if both sides agree to use it as a means to drum up nationalism and a way to funnel more money to their militaries.
Wars can be so damned profitable if both sides are into it. Plus the only people that have to get hurt anymore are the low-rent soldiers. A couple thousands casualties and some military bases every now and then and you've got an infinite supply of jingoism and military budget increases.

I'm surprised we haven't seen this sort of arrangement already, to be honest.
