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.
“This might take a mini-civil war within Mexico proper, to accomplish.”
Totally. It is not beyond the possibility however to have a mini-battle with the cartels that could drag out for a year. The drug and human smugglers may torch a few of our own and President Trump will retaliate with targeted force we haven’t seen since we have been alive. Then they can have civil war in Mexico after we take out the worst of the worst.
