I am all for categorizing cartels as terrorists. Mexico needs to decide which side it is on and quit coddling them.
About time.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that won't ever happen again.
Labeling Conservative groups as terrorist organizations lays the groundwork for that day.
Then do my in-laws.
Expatriate, not “ex-patriot”.
Antifa already has within the DOD!
What about George Soros? If the president wants to make a real difference with Antifa and the corrupt American election system (and probably drug running), target number one is George Soros. I have never heard the name uttered from the president’s lips.
Cartels then Antifa...great, but then I start to worry. What if the next ”Obama-like” president declares the Tea Party a terrorist organization?
They’ll just change their name, like ACORN did.
Good Move indeed!! The CIA has been loosely involved with the Cartels for years. this will curtail their operations. The Gun Walking operations helped arm the Cartels, so they could kill the Mormon family members. And the Drug trade is important to the Cartels and the CIA who use drugs to make money and to finance operations to arm insurgents in third world countries. On another note, killing ISIS also is hindering the CIA operations. Trump is stopping the CIA doing this. In 2015-2016, there were at least 4 instances where US, Iraqi or Kurd fighters captured CIA operatives with ISIS. How confusing this must be for the US and it’s allies to capture CIA people with ISIS!! Who is working against who here? And you won’t find these reports in the US press, they were in European and MidEast news services, like Al Jazeera, Jerusalem Post, BBC, etc. So, with this action of declaring the Cartels terrorist organizations, Trump may have made the CIA even more of an enemy of the State
They should quietly investigate Soros, to see where all the tentacles of his organization and funding lead, and to better understand who is behind him. Because I assume there are other “shadowy-er” folks behind him.
Certain politicians are in the cartel’s pockets, which is bad, but he owns the DNC outright. The politicians who aren’t in his pockets aspire to be in his pockets. Political campaigns have become competitions to try and attract his attention and blessing.
And its starting to look like he owns the top floors of at least some of the alphabet agencies. They have to be cleared out or it doesn’t really matter who occupies the White House.
It gets difficult to prove illegality with some of these relationships, these people are all lawyers, lots of them are lawmakers, and law enforcers, and intel people, and know very well how to use the law to camouflage themselves.
The USA should annex Mexico as a protectorate and clean house of the government, corrupt police and military and of course, the cartels.
Allow US corporations who want cheap labor to get it by funding wholesale reconstruction of the country. If the build a plant, they have to build a city to house the workers and support the services of that city.
Put the whole thing on a 40 or 50 year plan for Mexico to regain it’s independence, once it demonstrates the ability to maintain itself.
You will know which U.S. politicians are in the pockets of the cartels by observing which ones screech the loudest in opposition to having them designated as terrorists. This is not complicated. There is no valid, honest reason for any well-meaning person to oppose this move.
At this point the dem party could safely and accurately be labeled a terrorist organization.
Calling Antifa terrorists is a stretch. They aren’t that hot.
Perhaps a more effective technique would be to go after them and their supporters (Soros & co.) with a RICO prosecution and/or lawsuit.
