Before I kick this off I just want to say that this post has NOTHING to do with Donald Trump beyond the fact that he is the focus of Mr Fox's statements. I am not even going to issue any opinions regarding any of this post. I am simply going to provide facts and sources, and close with a question.
FACT 1:
Vicente Fox: “He is the hated gringo because he’s attacking all of us, he’s offending all of us, I mean imagine – that could take us to a war – not to a trade war. Like the jalapeno,” Fox warned, “Don’t play around with us. We can jump walls. We can swim rivers. And we can defend ourselves.”
OK Mr. Fox...
FACT 2: Mexico's GFP Power Index rating of 0.6286 (0.0000 being perfect)

FACT 3: America's GFP Power Index rating of 0.0897 (0.0000 being perfect)

Contrary to where some may think I am going with this - the question isn't whether we could wipe Mexico off the face of the planet without even sending one single person there to fight. He has to know that there isn't a single person in this country concerned with a war regarding Mexico. It would be over in 5 seconds. Not to mention that most of his own people would more-than-likely not stand behind such a war, due to their desire to live another day. So I ask you (in your opinion), what do you believe Mr. Fox intends to accomplish by alluding to an America vs Mexico war?
e: Actually, I have a second question. What do you think about the way Mr. Fox described how we should consider the strength of his people? He alluded to a war with a country that can bomb him into the stone-age from behind a desk against the equivalent of people that can do exercises (like a jalapeno..?).
