Well, for all you violent types out there who have been wanting a war with Mexico and the cartels, you just might get your chance......................
Trump suggests sending US army into Mexico to ‘wage war’ on cartels
The US president said his country stood “ready, willing & able to get involved and do the job quickly and effectively” if his Mexican counterpart, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, asked him for help. Mr Lopez Obrador declined the offer during a press conference on Tuesday, but said he would speak to Mr Trump about security cooperation between the two nations.
Mr Trump’s suggestion came after an American family was slaughtered by gunmen during an ambush in Mexico’s Sonora state. The family had been travelling in a convoy of SUVs.
He tweeted: “A wonderful family and friends from Utah got caught between two vicious drug cartels, who were shooting at each other, with the result being many great American people killed, including young children, and some missing.
“If Mexico needs or requests help in cleaning out these monsters, the United States stands ready, willing & able to get involved and do the job quickly and effectively. The great new President of Mexico has made this a big issue, but the cartels have become so large and powerful that you sometimes need an army to defeat an army!
“This is the time for Mexico, with the help of the United States, to wage WAR on the drug cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth. We merely await a call from your great new president!”
Mexico is a narco state. It wont ask for help. Americans are trained from birth to look only at the government for power but the government is just one of several competing powers. Especially in Mexico. And it serves the interests of the powerful to leave it as is. For the Mexican elites and the American Democrats.
We should invade and create a buffer zone between us and them.
We need to just have a more secure border. A nice wall, and some more resources (read personnel) on patrol.
Mexico needs to deal with Mexico. We can't get involved.
Mexico is dealing with Mexico...to Mexico’s advantage. It’s time we dealt with them to our advantage. A fifty mile buffer zone enforced by military occupation. Won’t be the first time we’ve had to do it.
I know I know ...the avocados. But substitutes will just have to be found.
