Why would Mexican cartels partner with Islamic terrorists?
Cause Cartels have tunnels to smuggle large packages across the border.. Like maybe... Dirty bombs?

Why would cartels want dirty bombs in here? They want to kill their customers?

Cartels are all about money.
They don’t care if it comes from Hezbollah.
I just don’t think any mental gymnastics are needed to connect these particular dots.

You really think some cartel guy in Nueva Rosita in Coahuila is going to be some linguistics expert able to spot the exact location and baseline for comparison between the dialect he is hearing versus what he believes it should be?
Compared to an guy with around an 85-IQ who is a native Arab speaker and learned Spanish late in life? Yeah.
When you speak to a person who grew up speaking Spanish and learned English later in life, I bet you can tell English isn't his first language. You don't need to know where in Mexico or Central America he's from, from the accent.

So it isn't plausible that a ME terrorist organization could offer pure product for access to tunnels and not 1 cartel would accept?
It is 100% plausible and it only takes 1.

Its happening already with Fentanyl from China, coming through the border.
The untold story is the number of Chinese coming through.

“Pure product”?
Given the part of the world the terrorists are coming from, the “pure product” would be an opiate such as heroin.
The problem with this is that fentanyl has flooded the market so badly that hits of fentanyl are dirt cheap and it probably isn’t worth it to get pure heroin then cut it to distribute it.
I would feel differently if this were South America pushing high grade coke or something else which has large demand under any circumstances.

If you're talking heroin, that's not from the Middle East and is from an entirely different area and ethnicity.

They don;t
They're already involved in "human trafficking" (for some reason, controversial around here) other human smuggling schemes. When the black market changes, they're on top of it.

I’d say the China and Mexican cartel perspectives are very different. China is fine with tearing America apart with death and chaos. Cartels just want to profit off addicted customers.

What?
This is the first hit on google. From a US government website.

Define "military." If you mean conventional forces doing "as seen on TV stuff", then you're right.

Afghanistan is not in the Middle East. It's in Central Asia.

Notice crime is through the roof nationwide? Even if these people are caught, they are just released back into the countryside

Playing semantics instead of just admitting you are wrong???
Yes it is possible for a terrorist organization to get hold of pure opium to make a deal with a Mexican cartel to gain access to our borders. That is not really even up for debate.
You can keep square pegging a round hole if you want.
