    I love how even unconsciously they can’t take Mexico. I know it’s most probably racism, but we still prevail prior to come back.

        Not joking. The USA can take Mexico anytime, but they hardly could keep it. Also, the USA does not rule in Mexico, at least not openly. If you take that USA meddling in other countries affairs is enough to call it a colony, well, then everyone in the world is a colony of the USA. NAFTA was a trade agreement, but it was contingent to whatever is agreed between governments, not whatever the US government says. The renegotiation of NAFTA, the USMCA, is proof of this. If the USA government thinks countries in the world do not have options to trade, it’s their mistake. At this point they can be replaced, but that doesn’t help anybody in North America.

          Any country that is not prepared to get the Venezuala/Cuba/Iran/Russia/North Korea treatment will do what the US tells it.

            That’s getting old by the hour and I hope it keeps happening like that. What the US government keeps doing in Cuba is globally despised. Cuba just joined BRICS, and at least I hope they can profit from their new trade partners.
