Mexico Military Power-AI

 Mexico's military power is a complex and evolving topic. According to the Global Firepower ranking, Mexico is ranked 31 of 145 countries in terms of military strength¹. The ranking is based on various factors, such as manpower, airpower, land power, naval power, financials, and geography. Mexico has a large and diverse population, which gives it a high potential for manpower. However, it also faces challenges such as corruption, violence, poverty, and human rights violations, which affect its internal security and stability.


Mexico's military has historically been subordinate to the civilian government, but in recent years, it has gained more influence and autonomy under President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO)². AMLO has given the military more responsibilities and resources, such as building infrastructure projects, distributing vaccines, policing migration, and fighting organized crime². Some experts argue that this is a strategic alliance between AMLO and the military to ensure his legacy and popularity². Others warn that this could undermine democracy and accountability in Mexico³.


Mexico's military is composed of an air force, a navy, and an army. The air force has about 400 aircraft, including fighters, attack types, transports, trainers, special mission types, and helicopters¹. The navy has about 200 ships, including destroyers, frigates, corvettes, offshore patrol vessels, and amphibious warfare vessels¹. The army has about 300,000 active personnel and 76,000 reserve personnel¹. It also has about 700 tanks, 10,000 armored vehicles, 500 self-propelled artillery pieces, 1,500 towed artillery pieces, and no multiple launch rocket systems¹.


Mexico's military is mainly focused on domestic security and defense. It has a limited role in international affairs and conflicts. Mexico is a member of the United Nations (UN), the Organization of American States (OAS), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Partnership for Peace program (PfP), and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). Mexico participates in peacekeeping missions and humanitarian operations under the UN or regional organizations. Mexico also cooperates with the United States on security issues such as counterterrorism, drug trafficking, migration, and border control. However, Mexico also maintains its sovereignty and independence from external influences.

Amazing Camacho Facebook Post

I was truly humbled to see this  Camacho Cigars  Facebook post yesterday. Thank you!

Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original

This sample of Eight O'Clock Coffee , "The Original", came right off the supermarket shelf the other day. It's a medium roast blend that included a large volume of broken and partial beans. Actually, I was surprised by the volume of broken beans as I poured each sample into the grinder. When the bag was opened, to the nose there were rich aromas of toast and coffee, while the pour-over aromas were a mix of cocoa and warm bread. I brewed and sampled four cups of The Original to be sure of my tasting notes. On the Eight O'Clock web site they list this coffee as "sweet, fruity and well balanced." Like most other coffee reviews that's not exactly what I found. In my samples there were semi-sweet flavors of toast, nuts and earth, with a hint of cocoa as the coffee cooled. I found the coffee clean and well balanced with a medium bodied, slightly dry mouth feel. Overall, The Original, from Eight O'Clock coffee brewed a flavorful rewarding cup

Tryst No. 2 Robusto Brandy E-Cigar

Featuring e-juice made in the USA, these  Tryst  e-cigars are a pretty sweet deal. The No. 2 Robusto Brandy is another great example of a cigarette alternative that give me cigar-like satisfaction indoors or wherever I can't smoke a real cigar. Like the last Tryst reviews, I've been puffing on the No. 2 the past two days while writing. Other than its brandy flavor, this Brandy model is just like the the other No. 2's. The tapered head makes it easy to hold hands-free between your teeth, the wrapper is durable showing no signs of wear, it produces a large volume of vapor and the brandy flavored e-juice tastes fantastic.  You probably know I'm not much of a flavored cigar person, but these American made e-juices from Tryst have fantastic flavor, this brandy is really close to tasting like brandy. I've tried other flavored e-cigarette products in the past and the flavors don't compare at all to the Tryst e-cigar flavors. Add together the great taste, the
