You put it more clearly than I did, thanks.

Until the Cartels get stupid and retaliate. Then Trump orders gloves off, fuck the Mexican governments wishes. It's only a matter of time now.

Agree with your sentiment, but disagree with the bolded part.

US military operating unilaterally in a partner nation is not going to work. That will very quickly put us into an Afghanistan 2.0 in our own backyard while (internationally) gaining us the goodwill of the Russians.

Any anti-cartel actions have to be hand in hand with Mexican support, similar to what we did with the Colombians.

Wait until the cartels start sticking fentanyl in Avocados in retaliation to any kinetic operations against them.

You mean they're training the Cartel's future recruits.

We have been in Mexico for almost 2 decades, it just wasn’t with the Mexican Legislative branch’s permission.

Listen- the only proof you have of your claim is ACCURATE HISTORICAL EXAMPLES OF EVERY TIME WE HAVE TRIED NATION BUILDING AND FUNDING AN ARMY.

Wait...

Surely it won't be that bad, right? Everyone is vetted, committed to their country, and not under the influence of illegal narcotics.

I'm interested to learn what this will mean in practice. We didn't even put the Taliban on that list until like 2010, and it took until 2012 to add the Haqqanis. And... we apparently still give MILLIONS to the Taliban. WTAF.

So is this just the conservative version of virtue signaling, or is it going to actually have teeth?
