The Second Mexican-American War.

You don't know what you're talking about. You have no clue about what the Cartels represent.

They represent the same thing as American bootleggers in the 1920s. They're organized criminals making lots of money by serving a huge demand for contraband substances. They're business criminals. That is all they are. They're not terrorists -- terrorists always have some political agenda.

 

[Politruk]

That's the point. The cartels are becoming so wealthy and influential that Mexico is in danger of becoming a narco-state. That cannot be allowed.

There was never any downside to Evo Morales the cocalero becoming president of Bolivia.

They all but control the media through terror and intimidation. They wield considerable influence over the national government and have infiltrated the Mexican military. Consider Los Zetas—U.S.-trained Mexican Special Operations forces who turned to crime and terror, eventually forming their own cartel. While their power has waned, other former military personnel have since joined the ranks of various cartels, bringing their training and expertise to organized crime.

Sheinbaum ain't afraid of them.

as long as Americans remains the most addicted country, addicts will buy drugs and dealers will sell them.

Your problem is your addicts.

Arrest the addicts. Dry them out. Cheaper than chasing dealers.

Nope... as usual your wrong again ... they are terrorists, the human trafficking alone should warrant the absolute scorched earth to be visited upon the filthy cartels and any Democrat that is tied to them

 

[Philthy_Phil]

You should enlist! Please?

Trannies aren't allowed in the army anymore.

Trannies aren't allowed in the army anymore.

Probably a weight limit too.

The up and comers are the Jalisco New Generation group.

The Mexican Marines are still squared away.

I haven't heard that they're involved in the sex-slave trade -- though if they do pursue that as a sideline to their main business of drug smuggling, I wouldn't be at all surprised -- but that still would not warrant military action. And smuggling immigrants isn't what most people understand to be "human trafficking."

We have no more business crossing the border without Mexico's permission to chase the cartels than General Pershing had crossing it to chase Pancho Villa.

As long as MAGAts trafficking kids, it's cool, eh?

How do you know this?

Proving my point.

I pay attention to details.

I pay attention to details.

Please link these "details."

You seem to be incapable of paying attention.

I haven't missed anything of importance.

The declaration of the cartels as being "terrorist organizations" gives the president congressional authorization to take what ever action he deems necessary.

I can tell you right now without any reservation that any action that the US takes within Mexico will be taken with the full compliance of the Mexican government and they will be credited as having taken part in the operation whether they did or not.

This in not "fuck around" time, we're down to "find out."

The president cannot give himself that power unilaterally by EO.
