How El Salvador Destroyed Their Brutal Gangs Changes Everything!

If anyone thought crushing the crime gangs was easy, they'd better think again.
This video gives a historical account of crime violence in El Salvador and the attempts by different El Salvador governments to destroy the gangs, which all failed until Bukele came along.
Bukele is much tougher and smarter than you think.
Another point of interest is Bukele is Palestinian, his dad moved to El Salvador from Palestine and built businesses there including a MacDonald's chain.
Nayib Bukele was born in in San Salvador. His father had 6 ”wives” apparently
Mexico could learn a lesson or two.
Worth watching.

Crushing the Mexican drug cartel would mean crushing the Mexican government.

They’re probably one and the same.

"And yet most examples are simply descriptions of what's going on, they don't condemn it either."

How many bad examples does a person need before they figure something out? Solomon was the most wise of men, and the most prolific polygamist. How well did this work out for him and his kingdom?

As long as the cartels exist, Mexico will have the leader THEY choose. Most of the politicians, police and military are bought and paid for by these cartels.
It’s just not that simple.
I read a book years ago (I can’t remember it now) written by some wonk about the next wars we would fight. He spoke about a war with Mexico, but it wouldn’t actually be with the country, but rather against the cartels. I thought it was ridiculous then. I don’t think so anymore.
