The cartels are going to provide the prez of Mexico the perfect opening to ask for assistance from the US Military.

Not a smart move by them.They've always had the unfair fire power advantage, That's fixing to flip.

---

This assumes they want help from the US military. They don't. They don't want to cutoff the money train.

They'll give up this guy but it's all performative. I'm sure the Mexican govt already has a deal made with the next guy.

How do people still not understand this?

The cartels are going to provide the prez of Mexico the perfect opening to ask for assistance from the US Military.

Not a smart move by them.They've always had the unfair fire power advantage, That's fixing to flip.

There's always money. There's always people competing for it. If you **** up tourism then people who work for their earnings and rely on the tourists will be getting really mad

The people doing this to Mexico today are the same people ICE agents are trying to deport from the U.S.

Be more grateful to your government, liberals. pic.twitter.com/AC8KZhV9ID

I agree. The tourism industry is massive for Mexico. They will shut down any of this foolishness quickly. Spring break coming up, they'll fix it , pronto.

I have a friend staying at a resort there and they are supposed to leave Tuesday. He sent me pictures this morning of the smoke. They are miles from downtown, but they were told they cannot leave the resort. I can't get in touch with him anymore.

Im now curious, what's your take on this and ideal solution? Youre saying some silly things

Unfortunately, it is predictable. It is a show of force and you're going to have infighting as well. Surprised at the scale but am worried that other cartels will then have to show they have bigger huevos and they are better with better capabilities

---

I am not worried, cartels killing each other is good.

---

Well yeah, but if only it was that simple and limited

Yeah, I can see the cartels going to every hotel, particularly in resort areas, demanding the guest book, and grabbing every American in the places.

Chaos in Mexico because the Mexican Army killed El Mencho, the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

If you don't understand that Mexico is a failed narco state, watch this.

It's not the army.

It is the CJNG cartel.pic.twitter.com/kY0xuONQdG
