This is practically UNHEARD OF.

Pete Hegseth sent a warning to the cartels saying “all options are on the table.”

President Trump demanded 100% operational control of the border, and Hegseth is delivering.

How much of it is sincerity and how much is trying to outwait Trump?

“This is a SIGINT (signals intelligence) reconnaissance aircraft that can monitor, record, relay, and geolocate intercepted communications in real time.
Cartels might have to go back to carrier pigeons and donkeys.”

Good news, but nudge me when bombs take out cartel assets and the USN is tasked with interception of all narco subs, in concert with elimination of construction sites (yes, I know that’s not mehico).

I wouldn’t be napping. Trump doesn’t intent to let them redeploy out of the crosshairs. It could go down any day. I’ll be on it. I’ll let you know.

Probably, almost for sure actually.

But it also could be radar, i.e. Joint Stars.

Be interesting if the Cartels start firing some of the anti-aircraft missiles that the Neocons gave to Ukraine in order to fight their war against Russia.

We need General Buck Turgison (George C. Scott)
Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) and Major “King” Kong (Slim Pickens) types to handle the military side of this.

Peter Sellers was supposed to ride the bomb down but he broke his hip before the shooting so the director re-wrote it to have Slim Pickens’ character do it.

There is the intel factor, coupled with ‘resistance’ in the machine.

Not a skeptic here, and I will say that this hard charging start to his final term is a pleasure indeed.

And the winning...yeah ;-)

I’d imagine much is desolate area that we want to look at.

The bad guys in this case, having been chased for years, probably know to keep the radio chatter to a minimum to avoid something like an RC-12 from picking them up.

Just guessing.

It wouldn’t have been the same. A cowboy riding that bronco bomb down on those rooskies is legend.

Perhaps this Sheinbaum woman President of Mexico will turn out to be a good thing. If she is an NWO stooge as beloved by the Mexican people as POTATUS Biden was, here, she may be easy to “roll”. If she is subservient to the cartels, she might be of use to Americans - or quit.

I worked on these in Omaha. They’d fly all over spying on Russia mainly. Back then China used tin cans on a string.
