USA vs Mexico Cartels: Trump send troops to fight cartel in Latin & South America. Trump authorized the CIA to carry out “lethal operations” in Venezu

This was clearly their objective when he stated he wanted them to be labeled as a terrorist organization.
I smell a clear and present danger a comin ......
Outside of the Civil War & Revolutionary War, this country has never had a huge war fought on its soil. When some of these places start reciprocating, people here will be shook like they were on 9/11. Not saying the U.S. won't win, but our citizens ain't got the stomach for multiple attacks.
Exactly.
And striking at a country we share a border with is begging for a Israel/Palestine situation on the Mexican border because there will be decades of war and death at in those cities and towns bordering Mexico.
And all of those fake militia members who were acting tough like they were ready for war won't be anywhere near the real action when it kicks up.
US declares drug cartels, criminal gangs global terrorist organisations
Trump frequently depicts immigration and drug smuggling as part of an ‘invasion’ of the US to justify harsh measures.

The United States has designated eight Latin American criminal and drug-trafficking groups as “global terrorist organisations” amid escalating rhetoric from President Donald Trump.
In a Federal Register notice filed on Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, without offering details, that the groups have committed or pose a risk of committing “acts of terrorism that threaten the security of United States nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States”.
Some experts say the open-ended language could be used by Trump to justify expansive presidential powers and policies previously seen as out of bounds, such as military strikes on Mexican territory or stripping migrants of their right to due process.
The eight groups named in Wednesday’s notice are the Tren de Aragua, Mara Salvatrucha (also known as MS-13), Cartel de Sinaloa, Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion, Carteles Unidos, Cartel de Noreste, Cartel del Golfo and La Nueva Familia Michoacana.
While those groups commit acts of violence and exploitation, experts say cartels are motivated by business interests instead of the political or ideological motives typically attributed to terrorist groups.
“The US already takes a lot of actions against these groups. They surveil them, sanction them, and prosecute their members in court. So this decision will not change much in terms of the tools they have at their disposal,” said Stephanie Brewer, the director of the Mexico programme at the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), a US-based research group.
“I think it’s of concern that this is coming in the context of rhetoric out of the White House that conflates migration with crime, drugs and, now, terrorism.”
Crackdown on immigration
Many immigrants passing through Mexico and other countries in Latin America are forced to pay fees and “taxes” to criminal groups, which extort migrants and smugglers alike.Will Freeman, a fellow for Latin America studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, says that fact could be used by the administration to argue that immigrants are providing material and financial support to terrorist organisations.
“You could accuse anyone – from a migrant who pays a smuggler to a Mexican business that is forced to pay a ‘protection fee’ – of offering material or financial support to a terrorist organisation,” he said.
He also notes that one of the most powerful criminal groups in the Americas, Brazil’s First Capital Command, does not appear on the list.
“I do wonder if the throughline here is that a lot of the named groups are involved in immigration routes,” he said.
The White House has frequently used depictions of irregular migration as an “invasion” to promote a hardline approach to immigration.
The Trump administration has previously threatened to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 – a law that allows presidents to immediately deport citizens of an “enemy nation” during times of war – to carry out mass deportations in the US.
Earlier this month, Trump also said that the imposition of steep tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China – another promise from his presidential campaign – was necessary to address a “national emergency” of “gang members, smugglers, human traffickers, and illegal drugs and narcotics of all kinds” coming into the US.
Strikes on Mexico
The terrorist designations have also renewed concerns that the US could carry out military operations on Mexican territory.“Trump has previously stated that the Mexican government has an ‘intolerable alliance’ with the cartels. Does this mean that the US now believes that the Mexican government is collaborating with terrorism?” asked Brewer.
Following the announcement of the order, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and an ally of Trump who has embraced his nativist vision, said in a social media post that the order meant the groups were now “eligible for drone strikes”.
But Brewer and Freeman both say that, while combating criminal groups that cause violence and strife across the Americas is a worthwhile goal, doing so requires more than tough talk and military firepower.
“To go after these groups, you have to go after their finances, their weapons supplies, their corrupt partnerships with government authorities,” said Freeman. “And if you’re picking fights with governments all across Latin America, that would seem to cut against those efforts.”
Yea she ain’t tooo happy…
Trump expressing his expansionist mentality, then labeling cartel as terrorist, is a clear sign.
If those drones is an issue, I’m sure those cartels will phone the Houthis. Apparently their success rate of destroying the drones is high. I think they shot down like 15 reaper drones
i got some years under my belt in this arena. the US govt is the only entity that the cartel fears. yes, any human can get got. there will always be a drug demand in this country. the best equitable state is to regulate the drug trade. if the govt wanted to shut it down, there is already a bioweapon that could be deployed and eliminate the coca all together. the cartel is unto itself a business. anything that us bad for business, they will usually remove it without being asked.

these people are not stupid and now that they have been targeted....rest assured they are working through alll kinds of back channels to resolve any impediments to their profit.
nobody wants the smoke with the us govt on its own turf, with the support of the populist president.
My point to my last comment if the USA try to go into Mexico, that is what I am fully talking about. If that happens, all bets are off.
The cartels don’t hang around the borders like that so this is a moot point. Now the United States military is good under the right leadership but at the same time you seen what happened I Iraq years ago.
Something will happen soon, there is no one in government to tell Trump No. Once he bombs some cartels in Mexico, all hell will break loose.
Dawg it’s funny you post this
I’ve been thinking about this for a minute, Trump throws shit against the wall all the time. If something happens to sticks he goes with.
Not receiving any pushback is key. Any restrain cause the issue to die down.
PS. This method is practiced on BGOL, just peep game. If you know you know
Trump's plan/s have been obvious. Cause so much chaos and shit amongst all Americans to get away with making money through all means - illegal/legal - all the same. Endgame is just that - amass as much money and power - lasting legacy while having others bend the knee. Shook ones are all marks. This is what Republicans and Libertarians have all wanted domestically. The unintended consequences will be in all the ways everyday people will struggle to live. In my experiences, survivalists spare none when they're hungry and have mouths to feed. Internationally, Russia is getting their fantasy - get the band back together- USSR. And broaden their influence once again. Who's to say Zelensky doesn't go misisng anytime soon? In most of our lived history - Russa has been the opp.
This has been true, over the pass years I was often left wondering why….
Cats dont know how wild Mexico is right now.
We had to send someone to Mexico for work last year. I was doing research and this person was going during elections (last June).
Politicians were getting murdered left and right. At least 34 politicians were killed.
My point being....
Mexico is was out of line and it is not safe to have a country in complete disarray on US borders.
Regardless of what you think about the current administration, Mexico has to be dealt with if they cannot control these international crime rings.
Americans will get behind this course of action more than any other in recent history since it is literally on our borders.
It is not just drugs, but we are talking about human trafficking, money laundering, and murder.
I don't understand why it was allowed to get this bad...but I guess that the "intelligence community" had plans for this to happen for years.
Cartel members have immigrated to Canada as well to sell to Canadians and Americans. Shit is crazy.

US going full throttle in a sovereign country like Mexico is not only a disaster politically, but it will be a problem globally. Mexico is not hated by anyone around the world unlike the US. Gonna be like a dude hitting a woman and expecting sympathy from others.
That's Mexico's problem, not the US. US can't control its drug problems and they supply the cartels with the weapons needed. I could give a fuck about the border. Money needs go to some of our cities to fix.
You could give a fuck about the border?
GTFOHWTB
I cant even address this seriously.
It's like having a house and not caring about who comes in or what is going on right outside the door.
Some of us understood what was happening down there…
Mexico is heading towards its most violent election ever, with 30 candidates murdered, 77 threatened, 11 kidnapped. Update female President elected
More than 170 attacks have been committed against politicians in the lead-up to the June elections. This violence has put campaigns under tension and is sowing doubts about governability in several regions. Specialists warn that the line between the Mexican state and organized crime is...

He better hope it’s no Mexican cooks at the White House… operation Jose will be operated
im biased in this this regard. i spent 3 yrs in country hunting people. for all my veterans that understand what the deck of cards are. the only switch up is the location. The tools, tradecraft and training never go away.
analyst notebook, pattern of life, financial records, banking info, focused observations....remember bin laden sat across the border right next to their version of the military academy. mofos sat on his hideaway for y-e-a-r-s.
my point is that the cartel doesnt want them us govt problems esp since once you are classified as a terrorist....that human rights issue goes right out the window. not mention if its a real black site....not gtmo, not diego garcia.......
the cartel knows and we know that we can literally kill off the entire organization in short order.......but thats not the goal. itll just create a power vacuum and more chaos......so we are back to the best business deal they can get and what works for both entities. one of the key elements people are missing on this cartel ish ...is the China angle/involvement. the chinese are very adept at warfare. one of my counterparts told me (maybe he was being braggadocios)...they will only seek battle after the war is won. i took that to mean...they will use any and all measures to weaken a country through fifth generation warfare (look this up bc its going to start showing up soon. JFK tried to expose it and we know how that ended)...they will attack economically, morally, educationally, spiritually, psychologically, utilize any use of the power grid (not to many people know about the backdoor access that was built into the transformers that we use to power our grid. why would the Chinese ever need to fire a bullet when they could push the cartel to be the middleman and to do it for them.
Is trump about to start/incite a land war in NA?
And submarines.
yes, they are getting trained by former SF operators....I FULLY BLAME THE FUCKING VA AND THER SHIT CARE of the veterans that have to make vets go out and whore themselves out to live.
