    You might be reading too much into that. The article stated Mexico’s naval personnel removed them as the personnel acted on the information they had. I would highly doubt they were going to go to great lengths to confirm the exact coordinates of the boarder.

    Do I think that’s what the Americans were trying to do? Yes. But Mexico didn’t waffle it.

      A boarder is someone who lives in your house. A border is what separates countries.

      What??

      This wasn’t a random place, it’s a fucking beach with people who go there routinely…

      What “great lengths” did you think it would take to determine which side of Trump’s ridiculous fence this was on?

      You think people that live and work right next to the border, are unsure about where the border is?

      You think it’s something you can accidentally wander across?

      Mexico knew that beach was theirs, but when pushed they said it might be instead of saber rattling that America just tried to seize a fucking landinghead

        You’re making a mountain out of a molehill.

        Mexico waffled nothing. They removed the signs. The statement of believe or not isnt consequential.

          You think a hostile nation’s military headed by a demented narcissist showing up on another country’s sovereign soil and placing signs that it belongs to a different country…

          Is a molehill?

          Buddy, if you don’t understand why something is serious, I’d highly advise you to ask questions instead of loudly proclaim it’s not a big deal

        The border is really big, and not all of it is fenced. It’s definitely possible to accidentally cross it.

        Not saying that’s what happened here, though.
