Fugitive Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán has reportedly threatened to eliminate ISIS if it continues to destroy his drug shipments to unspecified Middle East countries that go through the terrorist group’s so called “caliphate,” a website called cartel.blog reported Thursday.

In a harshly-worded encrypted email addressed to ISIS head Abu Bakd Badhdadi, the head of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel reportedly said: “My men will destroy you. The world is not yours to dictate. I pity the next son of a whore who tries to interfere with the business of the Sinaloa Cartel. I will have their heart and tongue torn from them.”(continued)

That story is a hoax.

What a retard. Next thing you know, ISIS will bolster its popularity by whacking El Chapo. ISIS doesn’t have the dough to field JDAM-dropping jet fighters and drones, but they are excellent light infantry, with dedicated fighters, and would crush any given gang they go up against.

Sounds good to me, let them exterminate each other!

[Vision Thing]

Muzzie lover Loretta Lynch ain’t got the balls to shut down El Chapo for threatening her muzzie brotherhood.

"but they are excellent light infantry"

BS

They are another gang like the Mexican gangs, only maybe a little bigger and more bloodthirsty.

The first modern army to confront them will leave nothing but dead bodies in their wake.

“Sounds good to me, let them exterminate each other!”

Yeah, we should offer free transportation of the Sinaloa guys over to Syria. They fight with ISIS, drawing down our illegal immigration at the same time, and it keeps the pussy in the White Hut happy!

Chapo? If they choose? He’s going to lose in his own backyard. They have loads of operatives in Mexico and central America, let alone South America. They are already here.

What a crock of crap.
The only excellence they have even tried to show is their ability to saw the heads off of innocent civilians and shackled prisoners.
If they ever ran up against a REAL MILITARY unit they would be nothing but a pink mist and vaguely metallic taste/smell in the air.

[ozzymandus]

Sounds like a dare to me.

Oh man, Jesus must be about to step out of his house and come here. With all of this...must be about time.

[Farmer Dean]

Wait until the Russian special forces engage these punks.

Presumably with artillery and an air force. Remember - I wrote light infantry, and that's just what I mean. Equipped with technicals, rifles, mortars and RPG's, these people killed 5,000 GI's. That's a far bigger number than the much-vaunted Taliban from supposedly indomitable Afghanistan inflicted on US forces. And that's reflected in their results. Unlike their Afghan counterparts, ISIS have taken entire cities from Iraq and Syria despite only having a fraction of the manpower and resources of the sitting governments.

Comparing ISIS with Mexican gangs is just risible. When was the last time a Mexican gang took a city from the government? What's truly impressive about these people is that they have gone toe-to-toe with a "modern army" in situations like Fallujah with severe disadvantages (i.e. no on-call tube artillery, no live battlefield intel from drones and JSTARS, no air support on demand, no food and ammo resupply on request) and not staged a mass surrender in the initial hours of the hell storm unleashed upon them. Don't mistake atrocity for fear of battle. Like medieval combatants, these people are neither afraid to die nor squeamish about killing.

They went up against Uncle Sam in Iraq and killed 5000 of our guys. They lost a good number of dead, probably 10x (maybe even 20x) our casualties, but that's without our advantages in equipment and training, both of which spring from superior funding. In situations where our guys lacked air and/or artillery support (i.e. in hit and run ambushes or surprise attacks on isolated outposts), the exchange ratios were nothing like 10-to-1. Don't mistake the shambolic Iraqi government forces for ISIS. That's like mistaking the ARVN for the VC. Our Iraqis have always been a corrupt and incompetent mess. Competence and bravery are not inconsistent with atrocity. Just ask the victims of the Wehrmacht and the IJA during WWII. ISIS are just fighters with medieval codes of conduct.

Talk’em up all you want, but put’em up against a Marine Infantry Brigade and you will need a fine mesh screen to find body parts big enough to identify.
Yeah; we lost guys in Iraq, Afghanistan, Grenada, Beirut, Viet Nam, and Korea. 80% of those losses were do more to ridiculous ROI (those rules brought to us by the State Department and civilian politicians) than the effectiveness of the enemy.
And I speak from experience slick, do you? The last real, well trained enemies the US Military faced were the Germans and Japanese. And we won both engagements hands down.

[Zhang Fei]

And I speak from experience slick, do you?

It's our great good fortune that men like you have rallied to the colors, not for plunder, not for glory, but for love of nation. I think the numbers speak for themselves, so we'll have to agree to disagree.

[Zhang Fei]

Out of curiosity, do you recall, either personally or from talking to people in your brigade, the outcomes of engagements where Marines had to operate without sigint, live aerial intel, air and artillery support? What was the average exchange ratio for these situations?
