Mexico. The Ukraine of a bizarre world
Diego Martin Velazquez Caballero
The former Polish ambassador to Mexico and an American journalist sparked an interesting debate on social networks as a result of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict in Eastern Europe. Broadly speaking, the line of the arguments criticized Russia's sympathy for confronting Yankee imperialism; Several Mexican Internet users were warned that a similar aggression was the robbery of Texas and the Californias in one of the best-known Anglo-Saxon looting. Updating the geography and time, he wondered what Mexicans would feel if the American Union took Chihuahua or Baja California by force. Although it is true that the war of 1836 and 1847 continues to be a painful trauma in national history; Times have changed and Mexico is resigned to a solitude where -as well as or worse than Ukraine- no one supports it in the civil conflagration that it is experiencing due to drug trafficking.
If the United States will take the north of the country militarily, it is most likely that other states will ask to be integrated, it happened in the 19th century and it is also likely that other Latin American nations will ask to be incorporated as US protectorates. It happens at the OEA. Mexico is only missing Mickey Mouse ears.
The United States has behaved worse with respect to Latin America than that of Russia with respect to Eastern Europe. Neither the former ambassador of Poland, nor the journalist specialized in Mexican-American relations, question the pentagonism that feeds weapons and dollars to the drug trafficking groups that are tearing the country apart. Nor do they question the new slavery that Mexican emigration means and that the real Mexican economy makes alms of its avocados.
Just as a large part of the Ukrainian population historically identifies with Russia and, in part, conceives a hegemony over Eurasia. Many Mexicans emigrate to the United States and a large part of the Latin American population would prefer to live in North America. Mexico, like several Eastern European countries, is a puppet of the Western powers that plays the role of suicidal internal colonialism. Some interesting point of the cybernetic debate pointed out, what would the Anglo-Saxons feel if Russia set up military bases and nuclear missiles in Baja California, Chihuahua, Nuevo León, Sonora and Tamaulipas? And the Guns and Roses fell silent remembering the taste of free Cuba.
Eastern Europe is described as being the "Trojan Donkey" of the Holy See, Germany and the United States. Mexico is the asshole of Hispanidad. Just as Eastern Europe has been sacrificed several times to frighten Russia, Mexico cultivates an internal colonialism that does not help it at all and only constitutes a Spanish mortgage that structures the pigmentocracy of poverty. Vox, the Franco regime subsidized with dollars, a few days ago, questioned and declared war on Latin American drug trafficking by discriminating against it in all forms and, in addition, adding the label of communist. Does the Spanish Colony really have the courage to oppose the drug cartels on the continent with all its might? Will the Franco regime question the socioeconomic structure that reproduces poverty and crime that Hispanic heritage inherited? Is the Spanish Colony going to confront the Narco-empire that is the United States? Well no.
Samuel Huntington suggested isolationism and abandonment of the Brzezinski model of world control to the United States. Mexico and North America can build Spanglishdad. There was always the fear of Francoism so that Mexico would replace Spain as the axis of Hispanidad, all the forces of the dictator were concentrated on burying the Second Spanish Republic in Mexico and burying our country. And it was successful. But the natural tendencies indicate that Hispanic people have died in Mexico and their discourses and identities remain hollow in the face of reality. The Mexican lumpenproletariat that shames and discriminates against Hispanics is building Mexamerica. Just as millions of Ukrainians run into the arms of Russia and millions of Mexicans run into the arms of the US, empires must recognize the hegemonic nature of geography.
