    This is almost certainly not happening, but it would be absolutely hilarious if that’s how the Putin regime ended.

    Putin is not going to turn up in Mexico. Mexico might not care much about the war in Ukraine, but the US does and would be rather easy to do it for Mexico.

    Nothing in this extremely short article indicates anyone from Russia has any intention of attending the inauguration.

    Considering that the coward kremlin parasite wouldn’t dare leave the prison it has created for itself of a 10 meter table with bulletproof glass in the middle, and of flying exclusively over russian and chinese airspace - maybe also turkish and indian - this headline is a very roundabout way of simply saying: “Mexico’s new president will take the oath and assume office next month” and leave it at that.

    So many narratives that do not need the kremlin and its’ parasites inserted in there, and this is one of them.

      What are the odds they’ll do that?

      Zero. We’re staunchly and traditionally neutral on foreign conflicts, for better or for worse. :/

        I disagree - Mexico is a Rome statute signatory, meaning that (theoretically) they’re legally obligated to arrest Putin on arrival as the ICC has issued a warrant for him

        Afaik their diplomatic neutrality wouldn’t override their legal obligations

          It’s Mexico. $500 would override their legal obligations.

          (Please don’t crucify me, I spent a lot of time there and absolutely love Mexico, it’s culture and it’s people ❤️… But damn if I didn’t spend a lot of money on bribes)

            Then offer more. A quick end to the war to save $100 billion or so is worth a lot of money. Offer enough and maybe even the cartels decides they’d like to help uphold the law
