President Trump is upping the ante against the terrorist drug cartels who have been poisoning America and endangering its citizens for decades in an unprecedented fashion.
The New York Times reported Friday that Trump ‘secretly’ signed a directive ordering the Pentagon to start using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels.
The order provides an official basis for the possibility of direct military operations at sea and on foreign soil against cartels. This means that US troops could find themselves in countries like Mexico battling the Sinaloa Cartel, for example.
As TGP readers know, Trump has long floated the possibility of sending the most powerful fighting force on the planet right into the home turf of the foreign drug lords. The president also previously offered to send troops to Mexico to fight the notorious cartels.
In addition to Mexico, communist Venezuela has refused to lift a finger to combat the problem.
Instead, both countries have dumped r*pists, murderers, and gangbangers right on American soil. Tragically, innocent Americans such as Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray have paid the price.

A Clear And Present Danger
How about getting our CIA out of the biz first?
This is supposed to be a secret and yet GP knows?
Is there any daylight between the cartels and the Mexican government?
If they keep doing it, it's an act of war.
Black Jack Trump
A few passes of Ghostriders unloading on their kingpin compounds should send a clear message.
I wouldn’t care a bit if we went in with troops, wiped out cartels, and occupied northern Mexico.
Enough is enough. Protect our homeland!
“How about getting our CIA out of the biz first?”
Good luck with that.
And GP got it from the NY Times.
Solid.
As long as we’re there, we might as well take Cozumel too.
It’s not much of a secret, apparently. The government of Mexico will certainly not cooperate since the drug cartels run just about everything there. But their attacks have been unprecedented in recent years and is only getting worse. Something has to be done. The military seems like an appropriate way to deal with it.
Why would president Trump and Ratcliffe be running drugs?
If they are running drugs then what do you think this announcement is really about, shutting down the competition, getting kickbacks, what?
Been saying it for years, at some point in the future we will have no choice but to occupy Mexico.
Do you really think they’re running the CIA?
And it secretly winds up on Gateway Pundit?
Well, if the NYT and Gateway Pundit said it, it must be true.
Politicians are bought and paid for by the cartels, and the ones that are not know they have a short life expectancy if they go against the cartels - it’s a narco state.
