    Haven’t had time to read either of those in full, but if true, then I can at most see the US government finally going in to crush the cartels because they’ve outlived their usefulness. Not out of altruism or genuinely held “Liberate Mexico, yay!” ideals, unfortunately, despite White House claims...

    Buddy, that ain’t an excuse. That’s like telling someone, “I only gave you the flu; be grateful I didn’t give you tuberculosis instead!” One is clearly deadlier than the other, for sure. But ultimately, neither is acceptable and thus, neither should’ve happened in the first place.

    Not sure. He has a record of diplomatic weakness, such as the bogus Brittney Griner deal where he let the psycho arms dealer go and ignored all the other American prisoners languishing in Russian custody for far longer. But on the other hand, it might also benefit his optics to show some...

    Yep; on the last full day of his term, to be exact. Obviously, the judicial process was underway for a couple years before then — which again, would've been during Obama's presidency, just as you said.

    Like I said, orders of magnitude worse, which also includes “connections” inside the Mexican government and armed forces that probably would make Capone seethe with envy. Dunno whether there’s an afterlife to look forward to, exactly. But if Hell’s real, then the odds of El Chapo and his...

    Good questions. :unsure: Like I said, don’t know much about the Mexican cartels, but based on what Al Capone and his buddies pulled in 1920s Chicago, it’s probably fair to extrapolate that these guys can do that — and orders of magnitude worse.

    I take it you stayed in a good area? Frankly, I can't imagine vacationing to "problem zones" where cartel activity or armed hostilities happen regularly, let alone living there — as many an unfortunate Mexican does, I fear. Don't agree with them wholesale, but even though their solutions tend...

    Gotcha'. (y) Afraid I beat you to it, friend. :p Otherwise, don't know much about the Mexican drug cartels beyond some very broad strokes, so I don't suppose you or others have any recommended reading to send my way? Photos and footage from social media are fun and all, but not terribly...

    If that’s true, then should we really trust the same government helping prop up these cartels in the first place to act in good faith when it deploys troops to Mexico to help crush them? Yeah, I’m not so sure we should. Don’t trust a doctor whose advice helped cause Health Issue A in the first...

    Geez! 😮 Not sure how well-armed the Mexican Armed Forces are, but the cartels must have some potent weaponry at their disposal to tussle with them.
