Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum dismissed reports of a potential U.S. “soft invasion” to combat cartels as “entirely a movie,” emphasizing Mexico’s sovereignty as a free, independent nation.
The Rolling Stone report claims Donald Trump’s incoming administration is considering covert military operations in Mexico, including airstrikes and assassinations of cartel leaders.
While Trump and key officials like Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio support such measures, experts warn they could backfire by boosting cartel recruitment, undermining Mexican sovereignty, and fostering cartel-Mexican authority collaboration.
That’s up to Mexico to decide, gringo. Short your own shit first. Maybe end the stupidity of the war on drugs that caused the cartels to become economically powerful in the first place. Then let’s talk.
This response right here is the statement that makes the border just get more and more violent. The US is just going to start pulling a Poland and kill anyone who attempts crossing-no questions asked-unless mexico taskes some actual action against the Sinaloa and gulf cartels.
So far all they do is get in bed with them and let the problem spiral to the point where they don’t have to acknowledge law enforcement.
So call names and be racist all you want, this shit will happen regardless of what Mexico ‘wants’. They’re not powerful enough to get a say, that’s just the way it is.
Skepticism-deprived people — eager to believe and spread obvious untruths like what you’ve posted — are the biggest danger America faces.
I think even if the US legalized all drugs today the cartels would still be in business. Human smuggling, human trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, and even avocados! The genie has been out of the bottle for a very long time.
You do realize cartels and human trafficking groups exist because there’s a high demand of that in the USA?
