Summary
President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming administration are debating the extent of potential U.S. military action against Mexican drug cartels.
Options discussed include targeted airstrikes, cyberattacks, covert operations, and “soft invasions” using special forces. Trump has warned Mexico to curb fentanyl trafficking or face military intervention.
His key appointees, such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, support some form of military action, framing cartels as terrorist threats.
Critics fear this could escalate tensions with Mexico and spark significant international controversy.
Brings me back to Reddit in the early days of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Pessimism about war wasn’t very welcome among the lulz at Russia’s bluster about their prowess and impending parade in Kyiv. “Ukraine will win any day lol look Russia’s shit is crap”.
The USA is acting just like Russia. Leaders and people.
If it walks like a cuck, talks like a cuck, and cucks like a cuck, well…
