Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum dismissed reports of a potential U.S. “soft invasion” to combat cartels as “entirely a movie,” emphasizing Mexico’s sovereignty as a free, independent nation.
The Rolling Stone report claims Donald Trump’s incoming administration is considering covert military operations in Mexico, including airstrikes and assassinations of cartel leaders.
While Trump and key officials like Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio support such measures, experts warn they could backfire by boosting cartel recruitment, undermining Mexican sovereignty, and fostering cartel-Mexican authority collaboration.
And if people have questions what I mean, I’ve said it before, if you want to make America great, it is made up of ~35 countries, independent. Working trade deals, cutting funding from militant or criminal groups such as the cartels everyone brings up and forcing them to economically suffer while supporting our neighbors by redirecting outsourced jobs that are going half way around the world to China to our neighbors in South America. A great example have said before is farming fish. We farm fish in the U.S. ship them to China for packaging and then all the way back to the U.S. for sale. That is a huge hit on the environment and an opportunity to bring jobs to markets and strengthen them in much closer regions. Assist in stabilizing the currencies and economies for our neighbors and we stop any such border crisis. Otherwise we pay an indefinite extremely high cost that prolongs suffering for both us and them. If you want America to be great, start with us earning the respect of those around us and becoming the ally they want to support, not out of fear but out of that respect. Those trade deals allow those countries to stabilize inflation, get control on crime, and become better places to live for their populations. That means stability and no reason to leave their culture behind and flee into a dangerous world of hate many people have fostered. Kill hate with responsible kindness.
Welp, I’m drunk
