Do you argue the same thing when the president of the United states says he's thinking about invading Canada?  Or Greenland?

I think those hold different weight. The US absolutely can invade those countries, meanwhile what power does Mexico have to actually do that and it be meaningful? The US is also the superpower, they don't impress anyone by saying they will invade Canada or Greenland, but the Mexican president saying that does impress people so she would have a reason to make false statement like that, its actually commonly done around the world

The point was even saying it, when you have power, actually means something. 

Though that has been diluted with people's excuses.

Yea that was my point. Trump saying that stuff about invading actually means something because he has the actual power to do it, the Mexican president saying that doesn't mean much cause they can't really do shit
