A Drug Cartel Just Defeated The Mexican Military In Battle

[longknife]

Last Thursday in the city of Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state, a battle erupted between government forces and drug cartel gunmen after the Mexican military captured two sons of jailed drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. The elder son, Ivan, was quickly freed by his men, who overpowered government forces and secured his release. Ivan then launched an all-out siege of the entire city in an effort to free his younger brother, Ovidio.

The cartels probably have more money to arm and equip their men than the Mexican government does. And, what is most shocking is that the president of Mexico had to step in and personally order the military to stand down and turn their prisoner over to his brother.

The eight-hour battle ended when government forces, outgunned and surrounded, without reinforcements or a way to retreat, received an order directly from Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to release their prisoner and surrender. Lopez Obrador later defended this decision, insisting that his security strategy is working and saying, “Many people were at risk and it was decided to protect people’s lives. I agreed with that, because we don’t do massacres, that’s over.”

The city is only 600 miles south of Nogales, Arizona. And there are other cartels a whole lot closer to our borders. What if this happens in Tijuana or Juarez or Matamoros? And our police or even National Guards gets sucked in?

The idea that a nation of 120 million people with whom the United States shares a 2,000-mile border and ever-increasing economic ties might spiral into collapse has not seriously occurred to the American people. We’ve had a century of relative peace on our southwest border, and aside from dealing with an occasional surge of illegal immigration, we have assumed that it will continue. It will not.

Culiacan should be a wake-up call that the war now underway in Mexico will not stay there, and that we’d better start thinking about what that will mean for America.

The idea that a nation of 120 million people with whom the United States shares a 2,000-mile border

...and 20 million Mexican citizens.

 

[pismoe]

fifth column that's all ready embedded in the USA may become handy to the cartels eh ??

 

[iamwhatiseem]

All of the money from the estimated 7,400 TONS of marijuana Mexico sends to America has to go somewhere.

this shouldn't be our problem

~S~

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

Well..it's something to think about--but lets not get it twisted---that would not happen here. We would not be outgunned..or out-manned--and we would drop as many reinforcements as was appropriate, if needed.

While the Mexican military may be a sad joke..ours is not.

It shouldn't be, but it is.

The cartels flood our streets with drugs (and that's our own fault - supply & demand) and they force Central & South American citizens to (understandably) flee in desperate panic to our border.

I'd be fine if we declared literal war on them. Today.

That's quite a statement. Not a bad idea.

So you dont support legalizing this stuff we get from them?

I would support legalizing Marijuana grown in America, or provably NOT grown by either M.E. terrorist states and in Mexico.

Americans who take drugs are patheic losers and a drain on society.

Ours may not be. Democommiecrats would never allow our military no matter how superior, to defend this country on this country's soil.

To the enemy democommiecrats, the cartels no matter how well armed and how well trained would only be a job for local police.

You know, I haven't smoked dirt weed ever since CO legalized recreational marijuana. Even though it's more expensive than Mexican brick, it's better smoke and there aren't any seeds in it.

Of course the cartels are better armed
Barack Hussein and his wingman armed them.
