OK Mr. Smartypants. I'll bite. Name a conflict, any conflict, in which the United Mexican States have been allied with the United States of America. I'll wait.
(Cue the 'Jeopardy' music...)
Russia (including the former USSR), on the other hand, has allied itself with the United States on many occasions, and has shared in her losses, including the loss of over 20 million lives in the second world war. Quite apart from what you have been programmed to think by your mainstream media masters, Russia and, by extension, the former Soviet Union, is not, and was not, the enemy of the United States. President Putin has said many times that he prefers a mutually beneficial relationship with the US. As for him being a "murderous despot".... Hardly. Russia is a democratic federative state based on rule of law and a republican form of government. State power in Russia is separated between the President, the Federal Assembly, the Government and the courts, on the authority of a duly approved, written constitution. In case you weren't told by your mainstream media masters, it is very difficult to be a despot in a constitutionally framed republic, just ask Barack Obama.
Finally, all political activities of all American citizens are equally constitutional
ly protected, regardless of country of origin, including those of Mexican de
scent, and no political activity in the US is State sponsored, that would be patently unconstitutional (illegal, in other words).
Please, for the love of God, turn off that infernal television and look around you. There are some good people out there if you will just take the time to listen. Oh, and here, read this:
