Get ready for the Cartels to step up their game,...

“War” seems like a recurrent theme View attachment 8744607

Its laughable that "Wars" have rules, because in true war if you play by rules you lose every time. Oh wait is/was that the plan from the gate? Anyone,... fighting any war where lawyers rule the battlefield or there are rules about killing them into submission, are but pawns in the grand plan,...

Came for Clear & Present Danger and Sicario memes, leaving satisfied.

Gives me something to watch again.
No quarter.

Cartels aren’t stupid. They’ll take a few token lumps and lay low until The Don is gone. They can afford it.
If the cartels push back, The Don will wipe them out and the people will be happy about it.

I listened to some reporter interviewing one of them. That's exactly what they said. Summing up what the guy said, it's only four years, and we've got plenty of money, we're just going to wait it out.

Read somewhere that 1 out of 5 people in Mexico work for the cartels, so taking them out won't be easy , going to be a long long fucking costly operation.

There's probably close to that on our side of the fence in certain locale. I've worked with several in my time in construction along the gulf coast that were involved with cartels. We had a qc with my company that wasn't even shy about it. Supposedly there's a book written about the cartels operations within dow chemical in the Freeport Tx area but I can't remember what it was called.

Nuke it from orbit. Easy peezy.

Don't think that plan will work out for them, as their leadership down to boot level has been known for years upon years.

The Mexicans are preventing us from winning

It's not just the Mexicans. It's our government and people too.

All good and fine for those "righteous folks" right up until you are traveling there and some airport baggage worker stuffs your unlocked (or easily unlocked with the TSA key) bag with drugs and then his buddy on the receiving end forgets to remove them and you get caught with them.


And yes that HAS happened and even after the governments proved it happened and arrested those responsible those backward vile 3rd world hell holes still didn't want to release or compensate those innocent victims.

Be careful what you wish for, it would be way too easy for someone to do that to you for any number of reasons.

Much like the Bahamas and their stuffing bullets in US tourists bag scam.

You’re right, definitely can’t apply that model with present U.S. law enforcement!

 

[Edsel]

It's our government and people too.

It’s really just us.

The Mexicans just supply the demand.

They aren’t exactly holding guns to our heads, threatening us to buy their goodies (typing this on my Chyneee - made tablet, sound familiar?).

In typical fashion, we are the faultless, guiltless victims with clean hands.

“Exceptionalism.”

 

[Jscb1b]

There are no consequences for our actions.

 

[mosin46]

actually have seen reliable reports of cartel fighters carrying Javelin missiles. think they wouldn't use them? thank you mr Zelinsky.

 

[theLBC]

the cartels are still collecting on countless sex trafficked women and children that the democrats allowed to come in.

pretty sure the money this pedo paid was going to them. probably happening a 100k times a day somewhere.

this is partially correct. before trump, the republicans were not putting that much effort into fighting sex trafficking.
however, this trafficking wasn't openly allowed, encouraged and funded by the government until biden and mayorkas took control.
in trump's first term, he signed an executive order to target sex trafficking.
in week one of his term, biden rescinded that order.

It just occurred to me...

Which vile, backward 3rd - world hellhole were you referring to?

Singapore? Taiwan?

Or the latter two - Thailand? Indonesia?

"Bullet - planting" is a thing in the Philippines, from what I can gather - didn't realize the Bahamas was into this as well.

Pull up some of these stories, I'm interested.

You left Malaysia off your short list...

You left Malaysia off your short list...

When was the last time you were in any of these territories?

Unless your characterization was for Indonesia alone (and they’re fast catching up), you are way, way off.

I don't think that word means what they think it means....

Or maybe they just redefined it and we common folks didn't get the memo.

Some have commented that those in the administration are so far removed from the very concept of actual, physical conflict that they have no idea how they're whoring out the armed forces, and what it actually does to people.

As it is, we are a soft, well - fed, affluent population.

We revel in our hero complex but have lost any connection with what "true grit" means, something our opponents have in spades.

I'd say this exemplifies the "Ivory Tower" syndrome?

 

[Sossa]

Guess whose side she is on,...

https://www.breitbart.com/border/2025/08/08/mexican-president-u-s-is-not-coming-to-mexico-with-their-military/

I thought she would be supportive of cleaning Mexico. This may be the one and only chance to clean up Mexico for the better.

 

[Short-bus]

Honestly, I think the cartel is just going to lay low and slow down and just wait for a new admin to occupy the white house. Regardless, i'm sure there's going to be a lot of assets in country cultivating humint to locate cartel resources, players, leadership, ect, and the smart play (IMO) that would play better would be using drones to just start eliminating production facilities where possible, leadership on the move, but that will only work so long before they start to adapt. As much certainty as I have in our US forces to open a can of whoopass, I don't think that's the battlefield that we want to risk losses of those operators, and sending in the 101st, or 82nd, or (insert regular infantry units here) I believe is the worst of bad ideas.

Just my opinion on it, and it's not qualified at all. Drones just certainly seem like they're bound to be the future of warfare.

**War on poverty,...Lost

War on drugs,,, Lost

War on Health care,...Lost

Seems every time we declare war on anything domestically, we lose it every-time, then again I believe instilling confusion, is the plan from the gate. Because in confusion there is opportunity,....


**Remember what LBJ openly said,.. With the war on poverty we'll have those Ni**ers voting for us for a 100 years,...

We're not doing too well on foreign wars either.

 

[Edsel]

Here’s a thought:

Why don’t the cartels simply set up their own Lobby?

EDIT: Never mind, they’ve been there and done that

Legalize, control, tax.

 

[Holliday]

Freedom sucks. Deal with it.

Legalize, control, tax.

Freedom includes the freedom to lay down hurt on druggies who cause mayhem, destruction of property and put tents up on your front lawn, while abusing legalized drugs.

Freedom includes not having to pay tax dollars to deal with these miscreants, abusing legalized drugs.

Yeah freedom to implant birdshot in their asses, sounds like a great idea.

Let freedom “rain”.
