I surmise that the cartel’s motive is to say the cartels can kidnap US citizens n have them in MX before LEOs even know there’s a kidnapping.
This sends the message to PDJT they will egg him by kidnapping US citizens.
What the cartels don’t understand is PDJT would send every available, viable covert civilian and military operator to MX along w every mercenary the US Treasury can hire to exact revenge.
The Venezuela operations should have made that abundantly clear by now.
“This sends the message to PDJT they will egg him by kidnapping US citizens.”
That’s a very possible threat.
If Abby Sciuto of NCIS was on it we’d know the guy in the video by a retina scan from the video.
Unless he’s not a US person. I wonder if social media posts with photos could be used to find a match.
