Lindsey Graham and some republicans want to invade Mexico.


Recommended Posts

Did they float it over with a balloon?  
I don’t know what is sadder the government and media thinking the general population is this stupid or the general population really being this stupid.

No doubt...I was only commenting on the complicity of the Mexican govt.

This is a "war" that I would fight..but I think if we cut off foreign aide and close the boarder it would be equally effective. 

Private armies aren't cheap....

Border control will never stop the flow of  substances. Too many options at the cartel’s disposal. Fact remains that America needs Mexico for a strong North American economy. To alienate Mexico would be a tremendous mistake. The capacity for the intermediate type of production skill doesn’t exist here.

Better warn American's to stay out of the tourist area's.   Cartels would retaliate in those locations.

The cartels own the majority of the establishments in those areas. Hotels, restaurants, entertainment facilities. Why would they do that to themselves?

Because there are a number of cartels and the war would be just as much against the other cartels as the US.  There is becoming more fear of that now.

Boarder control won't stop it...but it will slow it.  Unfortunately for the people suffering from opioid addiction.  The plentiful supply makes a heroine/fentanyl high cheaper than a 6 pack of good beer. 

Of course we don't alienate mexico completely.  Just the threat of losing the foreign aide will get the govt back in line.

Wont this fuck up the CIA's illegal drug trafficking business or is this so they can kill off the cartels that are threatening it? 

All you need to look at is what the President of El Salvatore is doing to the drug scum there and the pushback from your MSM and Neolibs to understand who are the real drug dealers.

I didn’t see any meaningful change in cost over the years. Even during higher levels of interdiction the cost of heroin fell. Now with fentanyl and some of its analogies being so much more potent it’s possible to fit 100 doses into the same size space as 1. Cartels have so many options for transporting drugs other than through border crossings. Submarines, tunnels, drones, aircraft.

It is heartbreaking. But that dosnt change the fact that a junkie will junkie. And nothing but the junkie him/herslef will change that.

Make it here sell it here.   Keep it cheap even free in some cases.  No paid for rehab on the taxpayer dime.

If there is a demand for a commodity and someone can make money filling that demand , someone will .Capitalism 101 . 

And thats not a slam against capitalism, it exists even in societys where normal capitalism dosnt.

The challenge is coming up with better and more effective drugs. I’m not sure how they’re going to top the current supply of meth and fentanyl. There’s this new drug called xylazine that’s been making some inroads.

I guess it’s been hitting Milwaukee and madison pretty hard. 

For the life of me, I can't put my finger on what those 3 cities have in common...
