    If the cartels turn Trump and his fellow MAGATs into gas station attendants, I wouldn’t mind. They are also welcome to burn down the ballroom.

    The shithead-in-chief wants a war so he can declare martial law and end our chance to rid ourselves of his cancer.

    He’s not going for cartels, the US supplies cartels with weapons and gives drugs to the US. That’s their cash cow!

    He is going because the political parties the US funds in Mexico are loosing popularity and they need to interfere before it’s too late.

    How are they already bored with invading our own cities? I’m not saying that I endorse any of this shit-show, but can we please just leave our neighbors alone?

        Yes, but that was BEFORE he soft-launched martial law against cities that vote against him. Deploying troops is a huge escalation over threats and emboldens his administration while desensitizing us to his horrors.

        The last I heard, we’ve now murdered 10 boatsful of Venezuelans. I don’t even know if that number is accurate because I’ve been too busy to really catch up on all of our current atrocities. The last I’d heard before that number was 3.

        The point is, we’re getting to the point that we’d shrug at following through on a foreign invasion. What I’m saying is that while we’re now watching our fearless leader make good on bad promises, let’s keep a Mexican invasion categorized under TACOs. If we start threatening to force our way north, then you’ll get to see how much worse my French is than my Spanish.

          You could take a look at the article in order to catch up: “If authorized, the planned missions would represent a significant escalation in Trump’s ongoing series of attacks against he has claimed to be drug cartel operations, which include at least 15 strikes against alleged drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean and western Pacific Ocean.”

          Up to 15 strikes it looks like.

    Oh this won’t go well.

    Cartels don’t… Care about war crimes. Like at all. Like less than Trump.

    These soldiers families are about to be at risk.

    Wild shit to go military on cartels.

      Do you think it would bother Trump if some cartel killers hung corpses from a bridge in the US? It would just allow him to expand his harassment and deportation of Hispanics in the US, give some appearance of legitimacy to a declaration of martial law.

      Seriously, he does not have a single clue what he’s marching the US into. That’s going to be incredibly messy at best

      Didn’t he want to fly families out to surprise his military minions in Afghanistan as well?

      Not too sure how tough the Marines will be when their kids start disappearing.

    So like the same situation with those fishing boats? Just going to go and kill a bunch of people without a trial and claim they were cartels. ?

    Can we just… not?

    The Military Industrial Complex forces the US to always be at war somewhere around the world. Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Palantir (the big one now), and many others are the reason the US is doing this military campaign. Gotta keep those shareholders happy.

      Easily. I could knock that out in a few months. Just legalize possession and allow regulated domestic production. Demand for cartel product would plummet catastrophically and they would run out of money.
