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.
"My neighbor has a murderer in his house, so I'm going to blow it up. No, I'm not going to at least warn him first. Why do you ask?"
Reddit-rhetoric.
Lol, k
This isn't "help". This is an invasion. You’re an idiot.
This is like someone breaking into your house, destroying everything but stealing all your unhealthy food to help with your diet.
This is like everyone with reddit-brain trying to fit in with each other, even if it means defending cartels.
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?
Maybe if he follows through on this then we can see if your prediction is correct.
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.
That Troll keeps posting similar authoritarian rhetoric under other news articles about the US wanting to invade other countries.
Account's less than a day old, and they can only seem to parrot the fascist talking points that Hegseth has. The second you call them out as a troll they'll curse & block you lol
That's cool.
What else do you think should be done to get rid of the cartels?
You’ve got some real “boomer” thinking. This is 2025, we can see the destruction the U.S. causes other countries when we step in. I sincerely hope this changes in the future and we can actually help other countries overcome oppression, but fact is, we are not there right now. This administration doesn’t actually care about the cartels, they just want an excuse to bomb more people, look cool to their authoritarian friends, and reap fear.
Also, Mexico didn’t ask for our help. This is calling for an invasion of a country, which means war.
I see you commenting all over how people who disagree with you aren’t thinking this matter through, but it’s pretty damn clear you aren’t thinking it through and you’re being an ass about it. Shameful.
Fuck off bot
I can tell none of you have an answer.
Have we tried asking them to knock it off?
How about a strongly worded letter?
Just like Iraq, the people were so happy after we left
No, not just like Iraq.
