Sorry I don’t like the optics one bit. If it is the only way to unseat the head of hydra then I STILL don’t like it. Unless complete disclosure occurs after we will forever after be an open aggressive force. Bad enough the puppet hands are restrained by having to at least pretend we aren’t- take that and they will have tanks in the streets first chance to make some coin. No Thank You. Not a precedent I want set. Going after an Allie to take their territory absolutely NO. This has to be comms or a feint. Unless literally the fate of the free world rides on this I cannot imagine this being a legit tactic. Dump Europe by stopping cash flow but no more American blood shed for anything beyond protection of American soil or citizens.

How did we deal with Mexico in order to Gain many States???
Texas won its independence from Mexico all by itself and then applied for statehood was split into Colorado and Kansas
We still shut down ALL of Mexico, and Paid them very well for what little we took....
We could have taken the entire thing....
Mexico today is a beautiful productive piece of the planet.
