    Good dictators at least try to manufacture a half-convincing cassus belli to start a war. Trump is so sloppy he don’t even do that…

      Historically dictators have needed the excuse; Trump is worshipped no matter what he does

    This is such an insane thing to do.

    Yeah fuck trump but why are you mfs pro cartel, if you think cartels > trump, im slapping you through my screen and forcing you to watch cartel beheadings

    Can’t think of any worse group, idrc if he’s using it for optics, it is useful for anything to be done openly

    I firmly believe all santa muerte mfs should be deported too, they don’t want their own satanist family members here, fuck freedom of religion when it’s shit like this https://leb.fbi.gov/articles/featured-articles/santa-muerte-inspired-and-ritualistic-killings

      Being anti-‘US invades sovereign nation’ doesn’t mean people are pro-cartel.

      I, personally, don’t want the US involved in this without Mexico’s express consent and agreement, with Mexico leading the charge and decisions.

      How about instead the US support the elected government of Mexico?

      Ya, one of the few things I’m okay with. The cartels are fucked and it’s just way too corrupt over there for it to change.

      That being said, I also expect he is only going after the ones that didn’t pay him off. There’s always a grift if he is involved.

    Good.

    The cartels need someone to threaten their dominance.
