That concerns me too. How would such a war against drug cartels be fought?
Do they have guerilla fighters down there? I would worry we could have initial victories, but then get bogged down in a guerilla war. The cartels are well armed.
And there are people in Mexico who are concerned about any American military in Mexican soil, regardless of the reason for being g there.
Go Trump! He is so right. In addition we need to fix this friggen immigration mess. Who knows how many of these cretins and/or like minded invaders are inside our borders.
this would deeply reduce the income of our political class.
“Cartela delenda est!”
The locations of Cartel haciendas and bases are very well known. There should be a Hellfire wake up one morning. It’s long overdue.
Have a Mexican Air Force officer in the control room “in charge”- This crap should be easy to teach them a lesson.
If you really wanna send a message SEIZE a bank or two where their money is laundered.
Just build the wall and shut it all down.
Invade Mexico.
Clean it up, then give it back.
Along with a bill for services rendered...payable in a convenient installment plan because we remember Weimar.
I have a hunch the military would figure out how to take out the cartels.
MS-13 will crumble and be rounded up as well
Remember the Alamo!
Remember the Maine!
Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead!
“And there are people in Mexico who are concerned about any American military in Mexican soil, regardless of the reason for being g there.”
So what? I am concerned about 30 million mexicans on MY soil, regardless of the reason. It’s a bitch to get back what you are giving out I guess. The grunt law kicks in here. He who humps downhill, will one day hump UP HILL.
Mexican officials would never authorize such a venture. Doing so would be signing both their and their families death warrants at the hands of the cartels — and they know it.
They’re street thugs with no training and there is nowhere to hide in Mexico, bad terrain, they’ll be rooted out in two years, well worth it
Let’s do this, long over due. Make our country safe again
We need to go Al-Baghdadi on them.
Trump dont do nams.
There goes Trump again...threatening the D.C. political class’s sources of wealth again. Just like Ukraine. He’ll get double-impeached now.
” Doing so would be signing both their and their families death warrants at the hands of the cartels and they know it.”
In police work, such a person is referred to as a “hostage”. You ignore their words and proceed as you should. You don’t try to get buy in from the hostage.
I thought he was against ridiculous, endless wars.
“I have a hunch the military would figure out how to take out the cartels.”
Just like the terrorist in the ME?
It would be FUBAR.
As I said above the only way to win would be a mass WWII style ground assault which will never happen.
