'The Failed Narco-State.' In the United States, they are talking about sending troops to Mexico
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] Senator Lindsey Graham questioned US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken about whether the cartels control parts of Mexico. Blinken replied that one could agree with this fact. The Secretary of State also said that Mexican authorities should do more to detect and intercept shipments of fentanyl. Graham couldn't help but ask - wouldn't it be better to simply declare the cartels terrorist organizations and "act in accordance with US law?"
Rantburg files drug cartel activities under War on Terror, originally because the goals and activities of transnational jihadi groups and those drug cartels that supply European, North American, and Australian users have been long intertwined.
Overseas, almost the entire month of March, the information space is shaken by a scandalous exchange of remarks between American politicians and the President of Mexico. The United States says that Obrador is collaborating with the cartels, threatening to designate them as terrorist organizations and send his own military contingent to Central America to restore order. Mexican authorities deny all accusations, recalling the US attack on the Nord Stream gas pipeline. How can this squabbling end and is the US really going to send troops to Mexico?

#1 ...First, don't listen to anything Lindsey Graham says. He's an idiot. (ASIDE: My wife and I were at USC's Koger Center on Monday night to see the live tour of Who's Line Is It? - packed house, and they damn near got a standing ovation when they slammed him)

Secondly, I would ask The Authorities to imagine the fun if they suddenly started executing military strikes on Mexico.

#2 Want to stop drug use in the US? Close. The. Border. Crack down on drug sales in big cities where all the activity is concentrated in places the police know about already.

Still arrest users, but make sure "rehabilitation" is so boot-camp like that they never do it again.
