This line the comment said also is not logical at all > “ What will US do if in case of civil unrest in Mexico, Russia will send troops to Mexico?”

This makes no sense, no one is alleging Mexico is under Russia’s thumb so this makes no sense. Replace Mexico with Cuba circa 1970 and it would be relevant. And also yes, if Cuba in 1970, I would not be surprised if Russia sent in troops if Castro asked.

This makes no sense, because no strong independent sovereign country (there're very few of them in the world, about 5-6) will allow foreign troops to land in the neighboring country.

If Russia would send troops under any pretext in any situation to Mexico, USA would start a World War III.

That observation doesnt exactly strengthen the original comment on Mexico but okay. Seems we are in accordance about Cuba for lack of objections anyway.

What if there is unrest in Mexico, will US send troops to Mexico to bring order? There are plausible situations in which this may happen.
