Cartel battle in Mexico

[Whiskey_Bravo]

We are worried about what is happening in the Middle East and this is what it looks like just south of our border. RPGs, mounted 50 cals, and what looks like homemade tanks.

Mexico is more of an existential threat to America than the SWA at this time.

Either arm, train, and supervise hard right Contras just DX the whole place and start over.

Red China, Russia, Israel, and of course locally produced. This doesn’t account for American supply under the auspices of arming the “right” people who always end up selling it off.

Chile makes/made respectable SAN clones.
We KNOW Venezuela got a huge shipment of AK-103s from Russia under Hugo Chavez.

ITAR is actually a joke. I can’t buy a handguard or an IUR from Soviet Canada(you heard me) but like these people can but RPGs all day from Red China like it’s cool

A couple A-10s would dial shit right in.

America is more of a threat to American than SWA or Mexico at this time. We have met the enemy and he is us.

I hate to be harsh, but IIRC this is like the 2nd time in as many weeks the Mexican government got their ass handed to them in narco battles. At what point to you recognize that these are full on militaries you're battling within your own borders, and have gunships on station whenever you go on a raid? I mean A-10's would be awesome, but even a couple of little birds with miniguns and rocket pods would seal the deal pretty quickly.

Yes. But it’s more fun to blame and shoot other people than blame and shoot ourselves.

Not saying its right, moral, nor even effective. Just more fun.

Ever see Fraggle Rock and the little dude who goes on adventures calls humans “the silly creatures”?

It’s like that

Fair enough.
