BTW, I am watching Representative Luis Gutiérrez on CNN. He said we are pushing Mexico into an alliance with China. Maybe it was inevitable but the last time we bullied a small Latin neighbor we bullied them right into the arms of the Soviet Union.

and owes it to them to cancel the meeting.

5. I would have tried to co-opt Ho Chi Minh and I would have tried to co-opt Fidel Castro.

The former was inspired by our Declaration of Independence and kept a copy of it.

11. Ho Chi Minh came to us first and we turned him away. n/t

12. Better to make a friend than an enemy. We were able to have cordial relations with Marshal Tito.

That helped to keep him out of the Soviet orbit . Well, that and his fierce independence. They also enjoyed a lot more freedom than Soviet block countries.

Trump pushing away our NATO friends and Mexico while embracing Russia will not end well.

[Mike Nelson]

4. I would not...

...meet with Trump, either. Mexico should set up some conditions for the meeting.

Keep it up and that's what we will get.

The Chinese moved in.

The Associated Press

MEXICO CITY -- Mexico's president is "considering" canceling next week's visit to Washington following President Donald Trump's order to begin construction of a wall between the two countries, a senior official said Wednesday (Jan. 25).

The decision to rethink the visit comes amid growing outrage in Mexico, and a sense among many that President Enrique Pena Nieto has been too weak in the face of Trump's tough policy stance.

The official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the administration "is considering" scrapping the Jan. 31 visit. "That's what I can tell you."

It was not clear when a final decision may be made.
