This is a refreshed megathread for any posts on the conflict between (so far, and so far as I know) Hamas and the Israeli government, as well as related geopolitics. Culture War thread rules apply.

If Mexico were to invade the US with tanks and soldiers tomorrow , I am 99.9% sure that the Biden administration wouldn’t say “sorry, we are all tied up in Ukraine and Israel, nothing we can do here”.

There are definitely cartel soldiers sent from Mexico to the US. Hamas doesn't have tanks afaik.

Similarly if Ukraine were to get swathes of uncontrolled economic migration from Belarussia … would anyone in the US government care?

Well once the Mexicans start making up ~70% of a given Ukraine area and they decide to have a referendum and declare themselves autonomous from Ukraine and then start blocking roads and taking tribute (tax) at the new borders, then the federal Ukrainian government decides to bomb them and Mexico decides to intervene to protect innocent civilians, yes the US government does get involved at that point.

b) terrorists killing and abducting citizens of another state

Fentanyl kills almost 100K Americans every year, that's a lot more than a few festival goers.
