    Fighting them is gonna cause way more bus loads to die then just leaving them be. The cartels aren’t evil psychopaths who kill for fun, they know violence is bad for business. The only downside to leaving them alone is they’ll send more drugs to the u.s which isn’t Mexico’s problem.

      I don’t believe that. Other Central and South American countries have had success meeting the cartels head on.

      Sure some short term death spikes but the long term result is a drastic reduction in violent deaths.

          You make it sound like I’m a dictator forcing people into a war.

          I’m just being pragmatic. They have a large military tasked with protecting their citizens. Some of the Cartels are very much arguably terrorist organization. Indiscriminately murder and torture people in a very public way in order to scare others.

          Fighting them would probably be painful at first but it would make the country a safer place in the end.

            Not your call to make or even think about advocating for, ESPECIALLY not in the year 2024, gringo; continually talking like it is just outs you as a yankee chauvinist. Put your money where your mouth is and fight 'em yourself; at least even the fascist redditors that went to bat for Ukraine actually flew out rather than sitting back from a well-conditioned suburb like a FIVE-EYES armchair general.

            Well, some of 'em at least. Packwatch.

              Ok you got a serious cass of brain rot. I guess this is what I get for replying to a .ml tanky. Calls me a Gringo to just dismiss everything I said. Real insightful.

              No shit it’s not my call to make, I’m not a Mexican politician. However this is a English forum discussing the topic. Just because I’m an American doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able to talk about a topic. In fact Cartels and America is pretty intertwined. As is Mexico and America. I also have family in Mexico. And so do a very, very large percentage of Americans.

              Not really sure why you are so adamant on defending the Cartels. Unless your anti American fog is so bad that you can’t see past the fact I’m American.

                You really think I’m gonna side with genocidal Amerikan suburbanites on any geopolitical conflict after the last twenty years of Anglo bullshit inflicted upon the world at large? Ion’t believe shit you just said. Physically can’t.

                  Ahh it finally comes out. You’re just a hateful individual. You’re so blinded by whatever hateful propaganda you have been eating up over the years you can’t even have a normal discussion on a topic with an American.

                  And more assumptions. I live in a big ass city :)
