Donald Trump Ready for ‘WAR’ on Drug Cartels in Mexico: ‘Wipe Them Off the Face of the Earth
Breitbart ^ | 11/05/19 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 11/05/2019 12:47:09 PM PST by Enlightened1

President Donald Trump said Tuesday the United States was ready for war against the drug cartels, volunteering American forces to Mexico for the job.

“This is the time for Mexico, with the help of the United States, to wage WAR on the drug cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth,” he wrote on Twitter.

Trump’s remarks were sparked by news of American citizens getting slaughtered in Mexico, after getting caught in the crossfire of a cartel battle in the border state of Sonora. Relatives have said at least nine U.S. citizens were killed including six children of which two were seven-month-old twins, according to CBS News.

Trump urged Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to ask for his assistance.

“If Mexico needs or requests help in cleaning out these monsters, the United States stands ready, willing and able to get involved and do the job quickly and effectively,” Trump wrote.

The president has campaigned on tackling criminal activity on the border, including the drug cartels. During an exclusive interview with Breitbart News in March, he said he was “very seriously” thinking of designating the drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

“It’s psychological, but it’s also economic,” Trump said at the time. “As terrorists — as terrorist organizations, the answer is yes. They are.”

On Twitter, Trump suggested that Mexico needed American power to wipe out the cartels.

“The great new President of Mexico has made this a big issue, but the cartels have become so large and powerful that you sometimes need an army to defeat an army!” he wrote. “We merely await a call from your great new president!”

I think it would be like what we did with Syria . Use of drones and special forces to capture or kill leaders. Would give us a great excuse to put soldiers on the border. Would probably make it much easier to restrict migration with military operations near by . Sounds like a great idea to me. If we can stabilize the country for them why not? It would be the most worthwhile thing since we entered world war 2 .

“”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”

Ha Ha most of them are ex or current Mexican Army special forces.

Have you not learned anything from the ME and Afghanistan?

the cartels own Mexican government... Mexico is a corrupt, lawless, violent, third-world narco state and oligarchy.

Its only a matter of where and when the cartels bring the wall down and not just a few pieces but miles if it.
They would do this for publicity and to stir up anti Trump fervor.

We have already done this teice for Mexico, once for establishing their boundaries beyond which their influence is not to extend, then again in 1914 to eradicate the attempt of Pancho Villa and his cohorts to wipe out the influence of Christianity there.

However, the reestablished religion of Catholicism not having been enough to contain the Mexican propensity to sin deeply and thoroughly, it seems we must do it again, if we can. But perhaps they have tainted our culture so badly with their religion and drugs that we cannot recover, either.

(My National Guard Infantry participated in the 1914 under that border war under Black Jack Pershing, then immediately following it in France during World War One. At the time of my enlistment, there were men active in it who had served in both conflicts. Viva the NYARNG 108th Infantry!)

start 100 miles from the border and then sweep south into Mexico. It’s time.

I agree, and if possible, Dem cartel, headed by Soros and Brennan and others, may have miscalculated.

I posted this today...I believe this event was a paid hit to try to involve PDJT...but PDJT will do it this right way and backfire on them.

...
Am I the only one that finds this extremely suspicious that it would not be beyond Clinton and Soros to have this done to get President Trump involved in something sort of like Oliver North? Would Clinton or Soros bump off a few people? Duh. I think we all know that these people already deal with the cartels with the CIA and gun running and Drug running. If President Trump does something then they will call him on it involving the US and something that was not authorized by Congress and if he doesn’t do something they will also paint him as looking wimpy.

Does this mean we wipe out a significant portion of our own CIA too?

Supposedly a large part of their money for "dark" projects has and/or is coming from drug running.

Mexicans are taught that the two great satans in Mexican history are Spain and the United States. There is no way in hell that they would not fight against any U.S. troops that entered into their country. Colon Powell was right about one thing, “If you break it you bought it.”

The criminals continue to babble about a war on drugs. There’s been no war on drugs. Where’s that war on drugs that we were promised? Kill the drug pushers. Kill them all.

POTUS wants to drain them of their bribe money, sex slave trade, drugs, weapons, just like in Syria where they are having a conniption fit.

The white Mexican establishment in Mexico City and Guadalajara and Puebla And Monterey are actually the heads of the plaza organizations so obviously they have no intention of reeling in these modern day comancheros who make money for them

It’s always been this way the system of corruption is as in trenched in Mexican culture as barbecue and baseball are in our own culture

They will likely sacrifice some Indios for show
