    I kinda thought Russia invading Ukraine would, in a roundabout way, allow Mexico a little more autonomy on the geopolitical stage, cus it would be too much of a look for the US to turn around and justify military action in a neighboring country.

    I'm. Less sure of that, now. I don't like that.
