    All Mexico needs to do, is send some missiles towards the border cities in America, and the war will quickly come to and end. If Americans actually pay the price for the war, then it just won't happen.

    Edit: I don't mean for Mexico to go on a genocidal spree. But if they target, power structures, fuel depots, and other strategic places, American cities and towns will grind to a halt and even shut down. Even worse if the prices of basic commodities sky rocket due to speculation and price gauging. Public opinion would be extremely against the invasion. I just don't see a way to sell this war to the American people, if they become a part of it.

      You underestimate the depths of some Americans hatred of Mexicans. We react to direct attacks in a weird way too, instead of pausing and thinking "Maybe this isn't worth it" we're taught to double down.

      I'd imagine that would cause the exact opposite reaction. When has this kind of thing ever broken morale? In pretty much every post WW2 conflict, all this kind of bombing does is strengthen hatred for the enemy. The value of these bombings is usually in the destruction of any kind of infrastructure, military or civilian, and creating an atmosphere of tension.
