I THINK WE'RE ABOUT TO INVADE MEXICO

WTF?

The Federal Aviation Administration is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport.

A notice posted on the FAA’s website said the temporary flight restrictions were for “special security reasons,” but did not provide additional details. The closure does not include Mexican airspace.

There are also FAA restrictions in New Orleans and, as El Paso Matters notes, in "a large patch of southern New Mexico west of Santa Teresa."

We didn't even close down air traffic for this long after 9/11. Flights began taking off again on September 13.

I think we're going to war, folks.

Here's an NBC story from November:

The Trump administration has begun detailed planning for a new mission to send American troops and intelligence officers into Mexico to target drug cartels, according to two U.S. officials and two former senior U.S. officials familiar with the effort.

The early stages of training for the potential mission, which would include ground operations inside Mexico, has already begun, the two current U.S. officials said. But a deployment to Mexico is not imminent, the two U.S. officials and one of the former U.S. officials said....

Under the new mission being planned, U.S. troops in Mexico would mainly use drone strikes to hit drug labs and cartel members and leaders, the two current U.S. officials and two former U.S. officials said. Some of the drones that special forces would use require operators to be on the ground to use them effectively and safely, the officials said....

Unlike in Venezuela, the mission being planned for Mexico is not designed to undermine the country’s government, the two current and two former U.S. officials said.

This won't work -- nothing we've done in the so-called War on Drugs for the past 55 years has worked -- but it will probably give Trump a poll bump.

Pressure from Europe prevented Toddler Trump from playing toy soldiers in Greenland -- he has to do something to have fun, right?

So brace youselves, folks. I think this is what's coming.
