U.S. military report warns 'sudden collapse' of Mexico is possible

EL PASO - Mexico is one of two countries that "bear consideration for a rapid and sudden collapse," according to a report by the U.S. Joint Forces Command on worldwide security threats.

The command's "Joint Operating Environment (JOE 2008)" report, which contains projections of global threats and potential next wars, puts Pakistan on the same level as Mexico. "In terms of worse-case scenarios for the Joint Force and indeed the world, two large and important states bear consideration for a rapid and sudden collapse: Pakistan and Mexico.

"The Mexican possibility may seem less likely, but the government, its politicians, police and judicial infrastructure are all under sustained assault and press by criminal gangs and drug cartels. How that internal conflict turns out over the next several years will have a major impact on the stability of the Mexican state. Any descent by Mexico into chaos would demand an American response based on the serious implications for homeland security alone."

The U.S. Joint Forces Command, based in Norfolk, Va., is one of the Defense Departments combat commands that includes members of the different military service branches, active and reserves, as well as civilian and contract employees. One of its key roles is to help transform the U.S. military's capabilities.

In the foreword, Marine Gen. J.N. Mattis, the USJFC commander, said "Predictions about the future are always risky ... Regardless, if we do not try to forecast the future, there is no doubt that we will be caught off guard as we strive to protect this experiment in democracy that we call America."

Guess La Raza might not be such a good idea after all, eh?

 :censored: wonderful.  Just as The One is going to take office, and his Homeland Security appointee is pro-amnesty, Mexico collapses like a New Orleans levy and sends a flood of illegals into the US.

I hear a lot of stupid, stupid comparisons between America and the Roman Empire so why not just make Mexico a province? :fuelfire:

Actually, I always thought that would be a good idea.

Not a probable idea, but a good one.

It should've been done 150 years ago, though, to make it work better.

I know I sound like someone from the 19th century, but is it not the destiny of America to be the city on the hill, the light to enlighten the ignorant?

I know, I know.....fantasies.

"La Raza" apparently isn't "The Race" they thought they are.

We should have had US troops on the southern border for at least the last 30 years IMO.

We already do.  And yes, your sarcasm was noted.
