@BoltonBailey If a drone strike on Mexican soil is a joint operation between US and Mexican forces, does it count? Also, is it considered Mexican soil if it is an ocean going vessel flying the Mexican flag?

@EricMoyer I think if a joint operation of US / Mexican forces did a drone strike, it would depend on the involvement of the two countries, and probably heavily on the nationality of the operator/launcher of the drone/whoever "pushed the button". US arms company / Military selling/loaning a drone to Mexican forces who then used it independently for a strike would not count, nor would US giving intel to Mexico who then uses it for strike.

I would not consider a Mexico-flagged vessel to be "Mexican soil", even if it is officially Mexican territory, soil means land, just like "continent" means land.

I don't see a reason why the US would become so hostile to Mexico that the former would literally militarily attack the latter. If this actually happened I think the world (especially the Americas) would probably go nuts and global sentiment might even turn against the US even more quickly.

@duck_master Here is an example of some relevant reporting.

@duck_master The US might attack a target with the blessing of the Mexican government. The question is whether it will happen "on Mexican soil" and whether the actor will be the "US Military."
