Mexican authorities confirmed there was cooperation with the U.S. in the operation that led to the killing of Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," the longtime leader of the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG).
Then it’s bad for the country itself, once that can of worms is opened it won’t likely be closed either, the project 2025 people will be predator drone striking people every month or more, like they do in a lot of other countries. It will make their government look like a bitch for one thing.
This cartel thing has gone on long enough, their government needs to crush them to forestall these American dickheads, and it’s not like the cartels don’t deserve it, they’ve ran amok since the US made Mexico fracture the sinaloa cartel in the first place with Calderon whenever that was, 2007 or something I forget.
A president a lot of people say the CIA helped steal the mexican election for I would add.
No, rather the narrative becomes foreign intervention is muddling with internal politics, not the Mexican Government (“my” government in this case) killed a drug lord with the help of the US government.
I am not defending this action necessarily, I am just pointing out how politically those two things are VERY different.
Actually yes. And not saying the Cartels would wipe the floor of the US military. But the terror would go cross boarder. Worst of all Trump would have his excuse to send boots on the ground and do further military strikes in Mexico
Where the cartels would face Law Enforcement AND a population capable who are both capable of eliminating them. I’m not arguing for it to happen nor saying it wouldn’t be awful for Cartel terror to start happening in the United States however in the U.S. both our Law Enforcement and our population are capable of extreme violence.
I seriously can’t imagine the things I’ve seen playing out in Mexico over the last 48 hours happening here, at least not outside some of our very large cities and even then only for very short amounts of time.
As an example a cartel group trying to block roadways with burning vehicles is likely to get shot to literal pieces once people figure out what is going on.
A cartel pushing an overwhelming attack on Law Enforcement would result in a public call for help and hundreds to thousands of people with essentially unlimited arms and ammo would be there in minutes.
Shootout / killing in the streets? Sure those might work for a few hours, maybe a day, but after that 1/2 half of the country would be walking around visibly armed and ready to throw down.
My point here is that fights inside the United States would not end like they do inside of Mexico and that’s WITHOUT the US Military being involved. The United States is a violent country, always has been, and groups REALLY fuck themselves when they do something to get all that violence redirected at them.
I know the US Civilian population has a reputation of being armed to the teeth and willing to defend home and family at the drop of a hat but truth be told I think that is just propaganda boasting.
Like I said I have no doubt the Military would win out by a wide margin. It’s just the Cartels would bring about real terror with a message loud and clear “this happened because your government thought it be smart to attack us.”
I assume mostly to keep the US from deciding to do the strike themselves.
Seriously you think the violent Reprisals are bad now. Just Imagine if word was US Special Forces did the killing blow
Then what? The cartels declare war on the US military?

I agree, I imagine this was a “if you don’t do this with our intelligence as help, we will just do it”.
