Spain to Obrador: Drop Dead

Via the Telegraph, Mexico's Commie president demands Spain apologize...for Hernan Cortez:

Spain's government has refused a demand from Mexico's new president that it apologise for conquering the country five hundred years ago.

Firing the first shots in what threatens to become a diplomatic row, the Left-wing Mexican leader Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced on Monday that he had sent letters to Spain’s King Felipe VI and Pope Francis urging them to apologize for crimes committed against the indigenous peoples of what is today Mexico.

Do I really need to explain this?....I do?....Well Ok...

Hernan Cortez and five hundred Spanish conquistadors were able to conquer the Aztec empire becuase they brought guns, armor, horses, dogs, and thousands of pissed off tribal warriors.

Everyone else in the region hated the Aztecs. Afterall, ritual human sacrifice tends to be off putting.

Coming next in great apologies:

-Germans demand Allies apologize for bombing...
-Vatican withdraws envoy after Judas apology row...
-Trump threatens Canada with invasion over refusal to apologize for sacking of Washington, burning of White House.
-State of Georgia demands US Army apologize for Sherman's March.

Oh, fuck off, Obrador.

Caracas moves to the Rio Del Norte!

So Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is the next Presidente de Mexico.

'Peje' or AMLO as El Presidente is nicknamed, wants 'decentralization' of El Governmente Federale,  'universal education', 'universal healthcare', ag subsidies, 'economic development', doubling of the retirement pension, and has boldly called for mass-migration to the United States.

El Presidente is promising to pay for all this in the most vague way possible, by cracking down on corruption - in Mexico....sorry no less than 27 minutes have passed as I dropped on the floor in raucous laughter and have just now regained control.

Senior Obrador's plan sounds like the typical leftist boilerplate. In fact, El Presidente's platform is indistinguishable from our own Ms. Venezuela, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Senior Obrador's 'economic development' point should ring alarm bells everywhere. Usually in the third world this means a leftist government takes out el loan Gigante to build a train station, futball stadium, or some other useless piece of infrastructure, leaving the nation deeper in debt. Just look at California's highspeed rail boondoggle.

Expect the collapse of the Mexican economy, in which case we better get to work on that wall.
