You can't beat the cartels unless there are boots on the ground, and that's not likely. It's why this has been dragging on since the mid 70s.
I hope you are correct. We have *****footed around, Obama, Trump, Biden, all of them, and done basically nothing to stem the flow of invaders. The cartels have set up shop on our side of the border. I hope Trump uses drones, bombs/missiles to blow up places in Mexico where cartel folks are. And I hope he does it in a huge way.aggie93 said:
Every day that passes without Trump ordering an attack on the cartels directly but having also authorized military action makes me think they are planning something very coordinated and very big. There are few groups Trump wants to make an example out of than the cartels and they are begging for it. We have plenty of historical precedence for sending our troops into Mexico and I think we are setting up for a significant operation. I think Trump wants all his guys in place and a plan that is tight as a drum to inflict maximum damage with minimal risk to US Troops.
We will see.
Other than watching this drag out for the last 50 years?Rockdoc said:Burnsey said:
We won't do anything of significance about the border or cartels.
What is the basis of your statement?
Well all I can say right now is this.Logos Stick said:
If Trump takes action against the cartels, I expect major terror attacks inside the US. Biden gave them a welcome mat and many cartel members are living in.the US.

Cartels are not organized. They fight each other and cannot take on an actual military.

The cartels pay off the politicians or threaten their family members lives. They have Mexico sewn up.Ags4DaWin said:
Trump has declared the cartels a terrorist organization
If they attack US citizens or border patrol from within mexico that will justify the US doing coordinates strikes in Mexican territory.
If they don't like it then reign in the cartels.
The cartels have never had to fight an actual military force before....and they have always been able to get their way via intimidating civilians and bribing officials. They can't do that to the us military.
.they have no idea what they are signing up for.
I've said the same for years. Agree 100%.Farmer_J said:
What if...
As we start taking out the cartels in rooting out the corruption in mexico, we force the mexican government to allow citizens to own firearms again?
I really think if mexican citizens were armed, they would eliminate a lot of these dirt bags themselves.

Does anyone know what kind of weaponized drones they may have access to? I've never seen anything on this.

Really dumb if true. This would just give us an excuse to hunt them down anywhere on the planet.
