    This is good. Mexico needs help dealing with its cartels.

    Right now, anyone in the Mexican government who stands up to the cartels ends up putting themselves and their families at grave risk. Most of them have already been killed in a gruesome manner years ago, which is why none of them make it a priority now.

    Here’s hoping that giving our assistance will make it so cartels cannot threaten the Mexican people ever again.

    Edit: “The Mexican Bukele,” a mayor who stood up against the cartels was just killed in front of a crowd of people while under police protection: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/02/mexican-mayor-killed-during-day-of-the-dead-celebrations

    All the downvoters should really ask themselves if they’re thinking about the subject, or just trying to fit in with their peers. I know what I’ll put my money on, but I don’t think most of you are capable of admitting when you’re wrong if it goes against the crowd.

      There’s a history of the USA’s bombings of other countries being clothed in “we’re helping” rhetoric while doing the opposite of helping. I don’t trust at all that this will help, especially when led by incompetent white supremacist fascists like Pete Hegseth.

      This is like someone breaking into your house, destroying everything but stealing all your unhealthy food to help with your diet.

          I’m not defending the cartel’s, I’m just pointing out that this form of “help” will be more destructive if Mexico allows Trump to drone attack whatever he wants in the country, because he already thinks most Mexicans are criminals or rapists, so what’s stopping him from just drone bombing the shit out of the country because he believes he’s killing criminals?

          He’s happy to see Americans get killed by his actions, you think he’s gonna give a shit about killing Mexicans?
