The CIA has done that for years to watch their partners, the cartel! The CIA is made up of the shittiest people on planet earth!

I hope that gets fixed but I'm sure it won't. Someone will step in who isn't afraid to die for making quick megabucks.

Just like terrorist cells that we took out across the Middle East and Afghanistan. That did not in the world terror because new terrorist cells just formed in their place. The same thing has happened with cartels for the past 40 or 50 years

Most of their training is coming from former members of the Colombian military these days...they've been fighting COIN for so long against the FARC, ELN and ELP...they go over to Ukraine or Sudan...get mistreated and/or underpaid...come back to Colombia and the Cartels scoop them up.

If SFP says something won’t happen it probably will.

They’re completely different animals.
The war on terror is a war on religion and ideology. People are willing to die religion and ideology on a very large scale.
The cartels are driven by the desire to make money. At some point people are going to realize that you can’t spend all that money if your dead and fewer and fewer will be filling the void.

I'd wager on it. That guy is a professional dumb arse.

He claimed it would be no different than Afghanistan once. Until someone pointed out drone tech is completely different than it was 25 years ago. Guy is clueless

I would suggest you learn about the pseudo religions/cults built around cartel culture
This threat of death and elimination exists whether the US is involved or not. It's literally the day-to-day existence of people in the cartel. That has not stopped people from continuously joining and creating new cartels for 40 years at least

We didn't have drones 30 years ago
We have taken out cartels, trained Mexican forces with SF, etc. for 30-40 years now. It doesn't work long term. The voids are filled quickly.
One time, the US-trained special forces became a cartel (Los Zetas)
not sure why you were DV for this...its the truth, harsh or not
the key is going to be taking them out and do

Fair point
We need to help MX invest in itself so it's mutually beneficial and cartels arent an attractive option. We should be manufacturing more in the USA but use MX as a secondary option instead of China.
this. We have to bring all the manufacturing we possibly can back to North America. As much as possible here in the US and then overflow to mexico. You have to build the economy there where there are options for the normal person
the other thing you must do is root out corruption once the cartels are gone.
also mexico is not the source for much of the drugs, just the carrier. Columbia and others must be dealt with swiftly too. not 80/90s style Pablo slow play....im talking same way as mexico with reaper drones etc.

Since we’ve tried everything, what if we’re now connecting the dots to who in government is bought and paid for?

Probably because he was flat wrong in his very first sentence. As were you.

Yes just like with the War on drugs domestically, this is an economic scenario and to win it will require economic progress in Mexico

Of course if it's viable and as lucrative as many think then you know the cartel would be waiting to get involved if the right security measures are not put in place
