Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador declared an end to his country’s war on drugs Wednesday, announcing that the army would no longer prioritize capturing cartel bosses, Agence France-Press reports.

Plata o Plomo. Silver or Lead. The two choices given to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
what moral clarity do we expect from such a country...

Watching videos and pictures it is obvious that most of the migrants are young men. It seems to me that if someone wanted, it would be easy to organize them into a fighting force that with weapons added to the mix could easily invade the US from the South.

“And many Democrats are on the cartel payroll too.”
Just Democrats? Don’t kid yourself. The Republicans held both houses of Congress for two years. Did the wall get built?
He did his best at the bargaining table.
“You can have everything you want,
but that’s my final offer.”
Maybe so, but I remember Dubya being the butt of a long series of jokes on this, at least until January 20, 2009, if not later.
He is bought and paid for. $100 million at least in his bank account.
I though they said the outgoing President is the one El Chapo bribed with the $100 million.
I guess one way to achieve “peace” is through abject unconditional surrender. Wow.
Interestingly enough, the police are making the same progress against drug trafficking as before calling an end to their efforts...
