    Default ’I’ll supply the weapons, and you supply the dead.’ It is immoral.” -Mexico president

    Mexico’s president slammed NATO’s policy on the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Monday, calling it “immoral.”

    President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador did not mention NATO or the United States by name, but his comments were the latest example of his party’s ambiguous stance on the invasion.

    Mexico has voted to condemn the invasion, but refused to join in sanctions on Russia.

    Lopez Obrador said Monday that the allies’ policy was equivalent to saying “I’ll supply the weapons, and you supply the dead. It is immoral.”

    “How easy it is to say, `Here, I’ll send you this much money for weapons,” Lopez Obrador said. “Couldn’t the war in Ukraine have been avoided? Of course it could.”

    In March, a half-dozen legislators from Lopez Obrador’s Morena party helped create a congressional “Mexico-Russia Friendship Committee.”

    The Morena party said “we respect the freedom of thought of our members” after a youth group apparently affiliated with the party sent an open letter to the Russian ambassador supporting the invasion.

    “Being straightforward – to end the war we need heavy weapons parity,” Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted, appealing in particular for howitzers, tanks and multiple-launch rocket systems.

    Maybe NATO forces should just leave the Ukraine and let the country become a Russian satellite?

    America is rapidly losing Central and South America, their eyes are turning towards the Empire.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Just how would the war have been avoided?
    You have consistently advocated for no more weapons to be sent to Ukraine, so again should we just let Russia take over the country.

    America and the West staying out of Russians near abroad....to a very great degree we caused what is happening in Ukraine, a disaster that only happened because of our hubris and idiocy.

    All of the world will suffer for this, Ukraine and America the most.

    Do you think it may have been caused by Putin who thought an invasion of Ukraine would be a cake walk.
    Now what hubris and what idiocy, please be specific.

    No, there is no point in attempting conversation with known liars. When the liars are dicks it is even worse.
