#1 Our military is compromised. Try to use them against the cartel and their NPCs will start taking out family members, most of whom live off installations. Which would be a wake up call to the Swamp what would happen if they decided to do the same thing to the remaining Americans within the borders.

#2 "Plata o plomo is a Colombian Spanish slang phrase that translates to “silver or lead.” A person saying the phrase is telling the listener to either accept a bribe (plata, meaning “silver,” a common slang term for money in Colombia) or lose their life (plomo, a metonym for “lead bullet”). plata o plomo largely entered public consciousness in the 1970s through the activities of the Medellín Cartel. The cartel, lead by Pablo Escobar, flooded American markets with cocaine throughout the 1970s–80s. It was Escobar who famously used the phrase plata o plomo to threaten government officials with harm if they didn’t accept his bribes."

#3 Rebellious Thugs of Bareilly
Once waylaid our famblies, and daily,
But since the Nabob went
And built a cantonment,
They're snug as a bug in a bailey.
