imagine Ukraine being invaded and people going "not our business" and then acting like Ukraine is the one with the problem not Russia but again "we need to take care of ourselves!"

then support invading Mexico to remove cartels

the amount of cognitive dissonance and ignorance required is baffling

If they could only go after cartels with zero impact on civilians, that would be fine

Normally, maybe. But seeing as this is really an attack on the people and not the drug cartels, no I can't support it. Because let's be real here, this administration is nothing but liars and racists. So we're supposed to believe they really want to go after the cartels only? Let's not be naive. They want to go after everyone down there, don't matter who it is, just because this administration is scared of them.

Listen to yourself. You are defending the cartels. He is not talking about Trumps bloodlust/powerlust, he is talking about a frankly magical hypothetical where we could fight only the cartels.

Ill ask again. How exactly does this magically hypothetical fight with the cartels cure Americans of their desire for drugs?

And since the answer is that it doesnt, why should we bother?

there is drugs that are made in American and sold in Mexico

what if Mexico decided to send troops to California to stop that? You would think it is a great idea?
that is essentially what Trump is claiming to do and Americans are actually like "huh maybe not that bad of an idea" because?

The War on Drugs has always been a massive farce and did nothing to stop the flow of drugs onto American streets.

Out of all the pointless wars our leaders have dragged us into this is the literal first time I've ever agreed with taking action. The cartels directly have a massive impact on the health safety and stability of our country.

Obviously I would prefer if we had Mexican leaders on our side supporting action against the cartels but they own the damn government there so that'll never happen.

Just for full clarity sake I don't actually want to go to war with Mexico but Compared to every other conflict we've been dragged into this one wouldn't overly upset me.

Yes, there are many investment opportunities in Mexico that will be possible once the cartel are gone. And the country amcsn finally start to develop without the looming threat of the cartels ruining their lives. But thats a best case scenario.

They wont go down without a fight. But chasing them underground long enough for Mexicos goverment to regain and maintain control themselves would suffice.

Trump's definition of cartels = Random Mexicans that can't defend themselves.

If his SS police wanted to go after legitimately dangerous organized crime, they would have done so already.

I don't trust a damn thing about this administration, even if it sounds good on paper.

It's absolutely insane that there's people here who don't realise that this is manifest destiny shit. It's not about cartels, it's about invading Mexico. Holy shit, do you actually think getting rid of cartels will suddenly cut the USA off of drugs and suddenly people you know who are addicted will become fine? Cause that's a fantasy.
