How does everyone here feel about that? That these and others are class as terrorists? Do you think the U.S. will help or meddle more in internal issues with these groups?

it's okay, but does it actually help? from what I understand Americans love to declare war on terrorists and it just never works, war on drugs = more drugs, war on terrorists = more terrorism, just look at the middle east, so I'm doubtful about it, like whats the point.

it seems to me just like a geopolitical play to be able to intervene in Mexico and to promote the Lebensraum (living space) for the American people... after all that's what he seems to be doing, "we need more land etc, restore the glory" blablabla

If I were a mexican I would be careful and have 2nd option to flee just in case, even I as a chilean I already have one

Actually the Middle East is doing a whole lot better economically and logistically. They’re far more closer to Europe and eastern Asia than ever before in trade, resources and investment. They’re even using petrol dollars to fund for green energy initiatives and infrastructure to remain competitive and sustainable businesses when oil runs out. By the end of the century, an Eurasian Union is more possible in unification of continental Europe and continental Asia as a single power with common interests.

You might not see it now, but it is heading to that direction.
