What is a Mexican Standoff?

A Mexican Standoff is a confrontation in which no strategy exists that allows any party to achieve victory. Any party initiating aggression might trigger its own demise.

At the same time, the parties are unable to extricate themselves from the situation without suffering a loss. As a result, all participants need to maintain the tension, which remains unresolved until some outside event or interparty dialogue makes it possible to resolve it.
