That is point isn’t it. It’s on the table. If Mexico cannot control the issue, the next step is we will. And it will be completely justifiable.
Cartels 2, Trump 0
Haven't some of our Freepers noticed how Trump works? He didn't back off. He essentially told them, OK, if you don't start doing something on your own, I'm going to kick your ass for you.
Of course, Schitt will try to impeach him for 'blackmail.'
not bad ... Mexico has done an amazing job of stemming the tide of illegal aliens making it to our border AND accepting residence of “asylum” applicants who DO reach the border while their claims are being adjudicated in the U.S.:
“Mexico comes through for Trump, tackles border crisis when Congress wouldn’t”

Mexico has done a thousand times more to protect the U.S. border than the Democrats in Congress, and it makes total sense for President Trump to defer to the wishes of President Obrador regarding this situation.
Mexico cannot control the issue.
That will require a fully militarized border and a 100 mile free-fire zone south of that border in which American Military forces can operate without restrictions.
The Government of Northern Mexico is the Cartels. They won't back down until they all dead. That is politically impossible right now.
A few more Cartel atrocities in the United States will change things.
Like I was saying. Laying the groundwork.
Trump may have put ALMO into a position where he has to ask for our help.
It is already completely justifiable and has been for 50 years.
Maybe Ann’s right.
PING!
you’re ALL right!!!
Cause in the meantime there’s not a TRILLION drugs coming in through the border or underground and killing a zillion Americans!!
but they’re not perfect upstanding guys like us so they deserve to die!! :)
Strategy!! leverage!!! 36D chess!!
Or maybe he just F..KED up and wussed out.
How is it violating sovereignty to freeze assets here a month SO MANY other things he can do that DONT violate Mexico’s sovereignty.
if this was obummer we’d be calling him a BITCH.
They ARE a terrorist organization we DONT have to violet Mexico’s sovereignty and we could STILL do a lot of damage.
But the pricks and a##holes we got in congress and the deep state and a zillion Mexican politicians would lose a FORTUNE.
GEEZ this board!!
Trump’s a GREAT president but too many here go to Trump church on Sunday now instead of their old one.
This is a WRONG move, there’s no NEED to negotiate regarding the monstrous cartels that are destroying our country and killing more people than 9/11 did by FAR.
He’s wrong.
And I think he’s great but he’s not my God and I’ll say it every DAMN TIME I think he’s wrong.
It’s called independent thought.
It makes us better than the Ds.
Most of the time.
Then you may be the only one to not jump on me for post 33.
The President has options based on 3 facts:
He can impose the designation as Terrorists.
This means he MUST act on such a designation, and it will be bloody. The media NEVER on his side, and howls from our corrupt southern neighbor will be calling it an invasion nightly on our local news. Every innocent bystander’s blood will be blamed on Trump.
The Mexican Government has now CALLED US OUT on Fast and Furious, which they have every right to do. It was always more about removing our 2nd Amendment than it was about Cartel activity. Maybe they can also help expose what Eric Holder refused to testify about..We all know it was damned dirty shit.
We do have leverage. The Mexican Government is nothing if not Machoistic. They don’t want to admit they’ve failed against the Cartels, nor do they want to admit they ARE the Cartels. They gotta be the tough guy. Trump is basically stepping back and saying they must keep their bullshit out of our bullshit. Keep helping us with the border. Now that the designation is one signature away from reality, they are certainly scared of the repercussions.
It’s a great position to have them in. Up until Trump, you had Mexican Leaders ENDORSING Reconquista. Heard that lately?
U.S. and Mexican officials MUST know the headquarters and drug storage location of each of these cartels.
Presuming they do, a couple of US made, Mexican delivered precision guided thermobaric bombs (i.e., fuel-air explosives) on each one in the middle of the night just might solve the problem!
After all, the USA and Mexico ARE at war with the cartels. Maybe it is time we co-operate to win this one!
