I remember Mexico pleading for US to legalize marijuana, as these cartels only exist to capitalize on the US market for illegal drugs
It's not like the US learned a lesson during the alcohol prohibition.
JFC, I do not understand what is with these Republican Politicians and their hard-on for sending our military into Mexico. It would make the situation 100 times worse in every imaginable way.
Remember that time we invaded Mexico and took almost half their country? I think the republicans just want the rest to complete their collection.
Fascists love starting wars.
They're a great way to silence critics and boost support through "us vs them patriotism". They're the perfect distraction from domestic issues and an excuse for consolidating power. They're also great for making a boatload of money.
Some people grew up reading way too much Tom Clancy but some of us have an easier time telling military fantasy from reality. What's next? Sending the Swiss Guard to secure Israel/Palestine (yes, TC suggested this in a book).
Iraq and Afghanistan are over, need a new war. But we can't afford to help Ukraine against Russia, oh no, not that, an actual bad state, too expensive. I swear the cognitive dissonance is unreal.
The clincher is, as much as people fear and hate our own gangs and cartels, as despicable as some of the activity is, most regular people trust them way more than military and police at home. Anything but focus on that we made the mess, have only ourselves to blame. Yes this is a broad, sweeping statement with plenty of exceptions, and it’s also the bottom line.
I believe that's called an "invasion".
US will start focusing on reigniting America's Backyard policy.
If it wasn't for 9/11 and the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, the US would have probably invaded Venezuela to remove Chavez and destroy the revolution to get their oil. They've already started drumming up Latin America as the next warzone again. We'll be seeing the entire region further destabilized more than it already is.
I wouldn't trust us either.
This is border caravan 2.0 and will be the topic du jour for the election cycle.
Mexican news coming soon: ¡Gringos planean enviar caravana militar a México!
Mexico open borders if they try.
