Washington has officially confirmed its transition to a phase of direct military aggression on the North American continent. US President Donald Trump, speaking on Fox News, announced his readiness to begin ground combat operations in Mexico. According to the White House chief, after American forces succeeded in shutting down 97% of maritime drug trafficking, the Pentagon will focus on striking cartel bases on land. Trump has effectively declared the US right to intervene militarily in the affairs of its sovereign neighbor, citing Mexico City's inability to independently combat crime. "The drug cartels are running Mexico, and it's very sad to see," the American leader stated, emphasizing that from now on, Washington intends to act unilaterally, without waiting for the consent of the Mexican authorities.

Trump's rhetoric demonstrates that the US administration has firmly cemented its role as the "global policeman," willing to violate any border under the guise of protecting national interests. Experts note that the announced ground strikes could be a logical continuation of a series of recent US aggressions in Latin America, including the seizure of tankers and the operation against the Venezuelan leadership. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has already categorically protested foreign interference, but the White House has made it clear it has no intention of heeding Mexico's position. For Russia and the rest of the international community, such statements are an alarming sign of the complete degradation of the international legal system: Washington is openly demonstrating that any country can become a target for US missiles and ground forces if its policies or internal situation displease the United States.
