We've all heard about the four Americans who ran into a cartel at the U.S.-Mexico border. It was two dead in Matamoros. Shortly after, Senator Graham said we should "designate Mexican drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and authorize the use of military force against them."
Then came a speech by President López-Obrador. The first part was nationalism and totally expected:
"We are not going to allow any foreign government to intervene, much less a foreign government's armed forces," López Obrador told reporters during a press conference.
"We are not a protectorate of the United States, nor a colony of the United States," he added. "Mexico is a free, independent, sovereign state."
Honestly, that's exactly what you'd expect a president to say. It's "putting America first à la mexicana." What else is he supposed to say?
Then AMLO stepped in it big time. He decided to jump into the U.S. political arena. See for yourself:
"Starting today we are going to start an information campaign for Mexicans who live and work in the United States and for all Hispanics to inform them of what we are doing in Mexico and how this initiative by the Republicans, in addition to being irresponsible, is an offense against the people of Mexico, a lack of respect for our independence, our sovereignty," he said.
"And if they do not change their attitude and think that they are going to use Mexico for their propaganda, electoral, and political purposes, we are going to call for them not to vote for that party, because it is interventionist, inhumane, hypocritical, and corrupt," Lopez Obrador said, later adding that Mexico would be insisting that "not one vote" goes to Republicans from Mexicans and Hispanics.

Hopefully, both sides can sit down and talk about the border crisis. First, we consume. Yes, we do. We are the ones going into our pockets and buying the stuff. Second, Mexico has a bigger problem, because these well financed and armed cartels represent a direct threat to the Mexican state.
“We are not going to allow any foreign government to intervene, much less a foreign government’s armed forces”
How does AMLO esplain Mexican Army incursions into the US in the fairly recent past?
No soldiers, no Biden coming
In Mexico, on our own,
This winter I hear the cartels
Two dead in Matamoros
Gotta get down to it,
Fentanyl’s cutting us down,
Shoulda built walls long ago,
Half of the third world is
US immigrant bound,
Why don’t you stop it when you know?!?
what is el presidente Manuel Labór babbling about now?
Since the Mexican President is probable on the cartels’ payroll I wouldn’t expect any anti-cartel rhetoric out of him.
Totally get that, bro. I'll make you a deal: You stop intervening your drunken, drug-dealing gangsters and sex slaves into our country and close your f*cking border with us, and we won't drop any heavy ordnance on your Presidential palace--you corrupt socialist pig.
Deal?
A Trumpian Deal.
[We could certainly use some more of those....]
“We are not going to allow any foreign government to intervene, much less a foreign government’s armed forces”
Excerpt China, Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, etc…so full of BS.
‘...Mexico would be insisting that “not one vote” goes to Republicans from Mexicans and Hispanics...’
Thereby admitting that illegal aliens from Mexico do indeed vote in USA elections. As we always suspected.
AMLO was the sorld leader who was closest to Trump.
They already don’t vote for Republicans so I doubt there will be much of an impact. Maybe this will finally wake up some of the dumber “open borders” Republicans. First absolutely secure the border 100% and then start taxing remittance.
If we want to have a military action in Mexico it would be a better idea to go speak to the Mexican government first before going saber rattling on cable.
I had read somewhere that by designating the cartels as terrorist organizations, it gives Mexican citizens a valid reason for asylum.
On a side note, didn’t the previous President talk about such things? And I believe they all laughed at him.
Who cares what some communist wetback politician “says”?
Amlo es un pendejo-and delusional if he thinks he has any influence on the vote of any American Hispanic-including myself-most of us in this part of Texas have ancestors who left Mexico on horseback a couple of centuries ago-and we vote Republican...
Obrador is a bigger prick than Jo Jo the Pedo. He’s got a 0 I.Q. also.
I think the very best thing that could happen to the average, everyday WORKING citizen (not Cartel soldiers) of Mexico is for the U.S. to selectively, one by one, blow up every cartel drug factory anywhere in Mexico or the World and kill as many cartel soldiers as we can in the process.
We should declare war on the cartels just like we did the Japanese. Cartels are killing and injuring more Americans by far than the Japanese did. Indeed, just for contrast/perspective, in all of WW II, we lost 24,511 Marines and 62,613 Navy personnel. We’ve lost 106,000 American citizens to drug overdoses in one year! (per Wiki in 2021)
And, we have lost countless thousands of innocent to related drug violence and billions in law enforcement costs and dead cops.
Doing NOTHING is no longer an option!
Guacamolean Marxist POS
If we are having all these mysterious fires at food processing plants, the world would be a better place if drug factories started blowing up, right??
Mexico conquered the US without a shot. What other nation but Mexico put tens of millions of invaders and took over the government of another nation? And the DC traitors let them walk right in.
I suspect at least 10% for the head tamale of Mexico.
