    GOP embraces a new foreign policy: Bomb Mexico!

    https://www.politico.com/news/2023/0...tanyl-00091132

    A growing number of prominent Republicans are rallying around the idea that to solve the fentanyl crisis, America must bomb it away.

    In recent weeks, Donald Trump has discussed sending “special forces” and using “cyber warfare” to target cartel leaders if he’s reelected president and, per Rolling Stone, asked for “battle plans” to strike Mexico. Reps. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) and Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) introduced a bill seeking authorization for the use of military force to “put us at war with the cartels.” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said he is open to sending U.S. troops into Mexico to target drug lords even without that nation’s permission. And lawmakers in both chambers have filed legislation to label some cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, a move supported by GOP presidential aspirants.
    Well… it is a war on drugs so…

    What could possibly go wrong???

    How about no war in Mexico... but a fortress border like NK/SK have, the oxymoronic DMZ.

    Well....when the cartels started becoming less like cartels and more like small rogue foreign militaries, increasingly without regard for which side of a national border they operate on... A situation which will only become worse the more emboldened everyone south of the border becomes, as our border security becomes increasingly nonexistent... What solution did you think people in the gov were eventually going to come too?
    They wouldn't let Orange Man Bad build his damn wall. They wouldn't increase other border security measures. They wouldn't budget more to afford better security measures and more personnel (but we've got endless money to send overseas somehow). They've done away with Title 42 to the tune of how many thousand randoms pouring over the border every day now? The leftist dickbags pitch a fit any time BP or ICE try to deport anyone - instead we've been inundated with an endless propaganda fest of "muh kidz in cages, muh wacisms, muh fashist USA" which has been effectively used to further weaken our ability to control this key element of our national security.

    To be fair, much of the blame for this lies squarely in the Republican's lap for being to cowardly (or complicit) in the face of this leftist idiocy, to step up and get shit done when it would have mattered. But they didn't.
    It was up to the few non-left-aligned or independent media people to commence their own 24/7 drumbeat of "border beat daily" in order to counter the narrative and spread at least some level of awareness of how the whole thing has been deteriorating all this time. But they didn't either.
    So....now here we are.
    Unless some miracle turns it all around, it's going kinetic one way or another.

    Anyway, in typical MSM bulls#!+ fashion, nobody in that article (except the writer, what a shock) said anything about "bombing" anyone; the quoted parties were to the effect of cyberwar and SF.


    ...Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is openly against any U.S. military involvement in his country to take on the cartels. “In addition to being irresponsible, it is an offense to the people of Mexico,” he said in March.
    ROFL
    The Mexican government's government's continued complicity in, and unwillingness to solve the problem themselves before it got to this point, is an offense to the people of the USA.
    But do tell me more about "irresponsible"...

    I would think we know where the heads of the various cartels are located, and most of their comings and goings. A well-coordinated and perfectly timed drone or stealth JDAM attack on every damn one of them simultaneously might get the message across. You can't hide, we WILL find you. Sure someone else will take over, but perhaps the idea of expanding their ops across our border might be put on the shelf. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

    So we have tried to pick a fight with Russia, for a year. Over a lost cause, Ukraine will fall or we will see the conflict evolve into WW3.

    Brandon and others are as corrupt as Mexican political types, but instead of cartel money it is ChiCom money.

    So now we want to bomb Mexico?

    Maybe if Americans didn't want so much blow and Fentanyl, we wouldn't be in this mess.

    Maybe if we secured the border, we wouldn't be in this mess.

    Absolutely! Seal that damn thing tight as a drum. Actually militarize the border. Tie up that "loose end" and then........Our main enemy, outside of Washington D.C., lies way way way to the West of our shores.
