We better have troops ready too. The cartels will seek revenge in the USA.
I hope the non-military US citizens are ready, because they're the easy targets.
They certainly will. And they will lose. Any casualties on our side from their retaliation will only stiffen our resolve and perhaps lead towards a no holds barred crushing of the cartels.
Then a rooting out of all those they are paying to do their bidding within the Mexican government at all levels. I don’t think Trump is F-ing around here. Stakes are too high and danger aplenty to him and everyone here. Cartels MUST learn that they will pay for any retaliation against the US in their blood. Immediately. This might take a mini-civil war within Mexico proper, to accomplish.
And who trusts the troops
They will seek revenge via soft targets. No troops present.
