Default Latin America in the Twilight War (T2K v1.0)

I didn't want to thread-jack so here's one for discussing the "Mexican Front" in the v1.0 Twilight War.

Yes, it's incredibly unlikely that Mexico could mount any kind of effective strategic offensive against the United States.

However, I don't think that logistics would be much of an issue.

Mexico maintains a massive fleet of sixteen wheelers that regularly traverse the border. Mobilizing this civilian fleet would provide the Mexican army with a massive lift capability and help supply their spearhead.

Second, Mexico has it's own petroleum supply and could fuel their vehicles with gasoline/diesel long after that capability was severely curtailed for the U.S. military.

Hundreds of thousands of Mexican civilians infiltrate the border every year. As a prelude to a conventional assault across the border, I can envision teams of Mexican army "commandos" doing the same to launch attacks on military installations, power plants, and other strategic targets to disrupt a coherent U.S. response.

As for landing Division Cuba in the U.S., well, I find that a lot harder to justify.
