The enemy of the USA is not Russia, or China, or Iran, or Syria, it is Mexico. While people were running around in Iraq fighting windmills and spewing crap about 9/11, we were being invaded by Mexico. I spoke out then and said these things. Nuke Mexico and most of our problems will be over.

I just saw a Facebook video of a guy shooting a Barrett .50 at the cops/military... Shit is really out of hand over there.

Here's how you do it

1. Build wall. Top priority. Attain as close as possible to 100% prevention rate for smuggling / illegal crossing

2. Unleash the full might of the US military on all cartels. KOS any cartel member. No prisoners. If local government is found to be involved, same thing, KOS. I say KOS because prison doesn't stop these people from operating at all. Stuffing prisons with narcos turns prisons into de facto cartel operations facilities. Mass execute everyone involved with human trafficking and drug trafficking. The people involved are chaotic evil. There's no moral ambiguity in dismembering children and skinning people alive. Every dead narco makes the world a better place.

3. Arm Mexican citizens akin to the 2nd amendment.

4. Control trade flow from South America. Sink the drug subs on sight.
Bottleneck and lock down all South American imports. Everything traveling North from Guatemala inspected by US agents.

Mexico as a nation is not capable of solving these problems. They are a failed state. Our military should focus upon eradicating all cartels by force. If that requires a complete restructure of the Mexican government, so be it. It's too much a security concern to the USA to be left to a bunch of corrupt incompetents. It doesn't matter if that looks like annexation, they are basically already entirely dependent on USA for survival. This is about the security of the USA.

But please, show me your crocodile tears over the ****ing Kurds some more, while we have a failed stated literally touching our border.

I live on the border & keep up with narco blogs...I really don't understand what the mex mil/le were thinking going in to capture Chapo's son with only 30 men & no air / extra support to evacuate. They were in the middle of sinaloa country incredibly outnumbered??

I know the US wants him, but somebody was over confident or just poorly planned?? Obrador himself made the call to let him walk...'love over lead'.

Thats down on the list of truck mounted M2 50 cals, RPGs, and anti-aircraft weapons. The cartels have it all besides modern MBT's and offensive aircraft. Besides that the police and military are either corrupt or can't be trusted. The good one's are sorely outgunned and outnumbered by the bad ones and cartels.

I don't disagree with your sentiments in general, but the last thing I want is Mexico to be our ward. God knows we have more than enough welfare cases within our own borders without "adopting" almost 130 million more. No thanks. I would "adopt" Canada WAY before I'd even contemplate "adopting" Mexico; different language, different culture, corrupt to the core in traditional Latin American style. No friggin' way. Their beaches and resort areas are their ONLY redeeming qualities.

A- How do you ID cartel members on sight? Does it work anything like ID'ing a member of al-Qaeda or ISIS or Democratic party on sight?

2- Mexico is already our ward. Has been since the US decided that Pancho Villa wasn't real cool.

Not sure where you're going with that but PV conducted cross-border raids into the U.S., killing American citizens. To me that makes him not "real cool". If you were serious about that, and not just making a snarky anti-U.S. (circa 1916) comment, then I apologize.

The fact that we may be floating Mexico to whatever degree doesn't mean we need to continue to do so nor does it mean we are obligated to continue doing so in the future. The last thing we need to do is somehow "annex" them!
