Should have kept that GD country back when we took it.
Might have been a pain in the ass, but it certainly is a pain in the ass now.
Meanwhile..while many here are spinning in circles, Mexico has indicated in joining Brics, has the largest contingent of Red Chinese intel in Mexico outside of Red China.
Central America has offered to allow Russian military assets within country-Nicaragua.

You go after the cartels on their turf, it’s going to get real ugly, real fast. Have drone strike on a house occupied by women and children. Might as well fly yourself to the Hague for your trial.
