Crime trump executive order cartels terrorists.

Its worse than that; Mexico's entire GDP from drugs is estimated at 5-20 percent depending on what year the study comes out...cause how the fuck can you estimate it...but its a significant part of the economy...

I'm not advocating for war with Mexico...that for the Trump twats to salivate at

I mean, if you support this EO, you may very well end up supporting war.

It authorizes the deployment of all reserves. If they actually do start raiding cartels, they're going to fight back.

What do you think we should do to people who hang 7 year old girls upside down after gang raping her and cutting her in half with a chainsaw while her family watches?

Probably something a little less obvious so they don't start cutting our 7 year old girls in half.

Jesus Christ what a wuss. Better not make them mad huh? We should have professionally trained people who maybe specialize in burning down and killing people like that.

If that's how they go about most of it that would sound pretty surgical to me wouldn't it to you?

Special operations has been active in South Americans Allegedly Mexico for a long time now fighting cartels. It’s too big of a job for them if your goal is to wipe out the cartels.

Which brings me to the issue I actually have with this announcement and thread- no one is really thinking about how this would be accomplished. Personally I do see this happening without occupying cities with a lot of troops. This would inevitably lead to collateral damage given the nature of this problem. How much is hard to say. If the military was there, would the cartels lose their grip on people? Would people flip on them? Or would they view the US as invaders?

I doubt there’s any serious plans to do anything. It’s a big task. There’s a lot of demands on the military right now that is struggling to get recruits and is undermanned for its current mission.

Ok, so we'll just let them keep cutting 7 year old girls in half after gang raping them and also every once in awhile, let them kill American tourists

No? Where did I say that? Do you know what the word obvious means?

That's not the reason you're going in, the reason is the drugs. There are unspeakable crimes being committed against children in multiple countries around the world and America hasn't considered involving itself in them.

The difference is they're right next door, they've killed Americans, they're funneling drugs into the country and they're funneling illegals into the country. They're connected directly to the problems of the US.

Yes and those are the reasons you're going after them, not because you're on a child saving crusade.

Obviously if you save children in the process then that's great but I think you should be realistic about the reasons you're going in.

This proclamation only has teeth if they plan to send in a lot troops into mexico. They should proclaim colombians terrorists too and invade colombia or else that narco problem will not die.
