Is mexico being run by the drug cartels?

[LeftofLeft]

Some people say it is

The socialist female president is under attack by mobs of ordinary Mexican citizens

Of course if trump moves against the drug cartels I predict that libs in America will side with the enemy because they hate trump so much

Mexico needs a healthy middle class.

Mexico needs a healthy middle class.

That would be helpful

But that may never happen (and it never has before) ,

mexico may need US intervention to go after the cartels

Between Indians who can even speak spanish to drug lords intimidating or bribing leaders like shinnbaum the democratic institutions in mexico are weak

Stop the supply, demand is forced to subside. Expand the supply and facilitate goods to market through lax enforcement, you sustain and increase demand.

Ok, but if there was no demand wouldn't the supply stop?

They've been making war on us for decades.

No. The cartels have been selling drugs to US citizens for decades.
Mexico went to war with them WITH US MILITARY SUPPORT, and effectively lost. One can argue Mexican government operates at the consent of the cartels.

Mexico needs a healthy middle class.

So do we.

 

[LeftofLeft]

So do we.

Mexico and many other nations are way behind. Study Socialism and you’ll find that there is little to no room towards a middle class.

Yes, and it has been for decades.

 

[Mac-7]

Yes, and it has been for decades.

Some might argue that Mexico has always been a failed state

Just another attempted color revolution spurred by State/CIA/NED and associated NGOs.
When that government is purged whatever cartel leader emerges on top will be sanitized like the Al Qaeda head chopper in Syria.
