Maybe it’s time to invade Mexico and put an end to this nonsense....
Thought experiment: Five Year Plan of Legalized Narcotics. Most people involved in the drug world don’t think even that far ahead. Legalize the street drugs. Price drops. Drug cartels go out of business (as such) and then are either absorbed into some other criminal enterprises, or suffer the fate of the suddenly weakened in the jungle. License and tax distributors of narcotics, not too much, and tax the retailers and buyers. Devote the proceeds to some worthy cause like reward money for turning in former (and any remaining) drug lords, pushers, runners, etc.
And make the statute of limitations time on former drug crime rather lengthy.
This will lead to casualties, but there are casualties now. And it will lead to the disruption and collapse of some illegal drug empires.
Then after five years on the plan...we’ll see if we should extend it or end it.
Maybe it is time to “Send in the Marines!”
Or possibly element of the 101st or 82nd Airborne. Maybe we could have multiple SOF units strategically placed across our southern border (in large numbers).
Possibly co-located or in close proximity to some Predator and Reaper units for intelligence and close air support (silently).
Of course when silence isn’t an issue several support squadrons of CAS aircraft could be near by along with “Puff the Magic Dragon” (couldn’t resit - for some old timers like myself maybe) or an AC-130 or two or three or four.
Keep the border a bit more quiet possibly.
And what do they plan on doing about it if anything?
Maybe now the media will stop “suspecting” the wife in the crime. They were really bad this week about implying she may have had something to do with it.
Shep Smith was particularly bad, and misleading at times, with his teasers and reports. It was obvious he thought she had a hand in the crime, even though there was at least one eye witness who backed her story.
Not yet, but November is Coming and an attitude adjustment toward Mexico is in order. Is it odd that just hours after (Texas) Governor "Rick" made a public demand to Mexico to investigate this within 48 hours, they have suspects names. Now the question, did the opposition drug lords give the names or did Mexican Officials know all along and just played stupid? (most probable)
I find it odd how the Mexican authorities coughed up names so quickly. Something ain’t right.
wait....i thought mexico’s stance was that the woman was lying and there was no evidence to her story......
....oh wait......i forgot.....it’s mexico.....possibly the most corrupt bassackwards country on the planet.....where the wealthy are the most vile corrupt people in the system.....the ones who live off the backs of the poor who are too lazy to do anything about it......what a hell hole.......
Send in “Dog” and his posse.
Ping!
