The Mexican military is still stuck in the 1960s. They had combat capable horse mounted cavalry well into the 1990s. Their navy is made up of World War II era hand-me-downs from the US Navy.

If the Chinese PLA wanted to go through Mexico ... then guess what? The PLA is going through Mexico.
I don't doubt the Chinese army can get through Mexico, the problem is the Chinese army can't get to Mexico.

War with China would be over in 24 hours. Thats how long it would take to destroy every major bridge, dam, power plant, and sink every Chinese Military Boat larger than 100 feet. Of course Walmart would run out of crap to sell us so it will never happen
Yeah, similar to the way that the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq were supposed to be over in a matter of hours as well?

It didnt take very long to take over the country, a handful of days. Our problem is we occupied the country after we took over.

In those cases, we were the invaders.

Makes a strong argument against China invading the United States. It's a lose-lose proposition for them.

Why would china attack what they see has their market just as US saw the rest of the world after WWII. They do not want more dependents and with large number people who kill each other over a reefer to control.Even executing the thugs and drugged is too much a job for them with their views.
