Trump threatens to invade Mexico

TMZ - According to the AP ... Trump told Mexican Prez Pena Nieto he wasn't doing enough to stop criminals and added, "I think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send them down to take care of it." The clear threat came during a Friday phone call ... according to the AP, which says it has a transcript of the call. The report says nothing about Nieto's reaction. A Mexican media outlet also reported about the call, and said it was humiliating to Nieto. Mexico's Foreign Affairs dept. is denying the report.

Whatever the debate, the Review's sharp critiques encourage us to look out our window, notice and act upon what we see, and also to look further -- to the rest of the country and globe -- to see how the organized big world interacts with our more spontaneous small worlds. - Utne Reader
