Two people were killed in South Texas from improvised explosive devices (IED's) set by the drug cartels in reprisal for the military crackdown on the border.
So the Cartels are going to go all Hamas on us, eh? You'd think they would have gotten the message from watching what Netenyahu did to Hamas but apparently not. They have declared war on us.
Donald Trump isn't going to play the "whack-a-Mole" game with them (like Biden or prior Presidents did with terrorists); he's going to go into Mexico after them. The Cartels are signing their death warrants.
The Texas Attorney General's Office put out the following statement:
From the Politico story:
The U.S. designations have stirred worry in Mexico that it could be a preliminary step toward U.S. military intervention on Mexican territory in pursuit of the cartels, something Mexico sharply rejects.
"The Mexican people will not accept under any circumstances interventions, interference or any other act from abroad that could be harmful to the integrity, independence and sovereignty of the nation,” Sheinbaum said.
On Thursday, the designation of eight Latin America-based criminal organizations was published in the U.S. Federal Register, carrying out a Jan. 20 executive order by Trump. The U.S. hopes the designation, something usually reserved for terrorist groups with political rather than economic objectives, will increase pressure on the groups.
Sheinbaum said during her daily press briefing Thursday that Mexico also wouldn’t allow outside involvement in investigations or prosecutions without authorization and collaboration of the Mexican government.
Does Scheinbaum REALLY want to play chicken with Donald Trump?
Trump can hurt Mexico eight ways from Sunday. Mexico owes us billions of dollars in borrowed debt; we can call the loan in any time we please. (And in the crazy world the liberals built we owe MEXICO money they lent us on OUR debt - essentially we are borrowing from ourselves - but nowhere near as much as they owe us.) We also have given them huge amounts of foreign aid through USAID, which is now being cut off (no doubt part of why Scheinbaum is pulling this now.) With ramping up American oil production we can take all of Pemex customers (the governement-owned Mexican oil company.) Much of what we buy from Mexico can be obtained elsewhere. Here are the top exports to the U.S.:
Iron and steel
$5.58B
Pearls, precious stones, metals, coins
$5.46B
Railway, tramway locomotives, rolling stock, equipment
$4.12B
Rubbers
$3.79B
By rubbers I assume they mean rubber products and not condoms, although given the way they have screwd us over the years condoms would be appropriate. You will note that none of this stuff cannot be acquired elsewhere - even made here. Do we really need coins, or farm equipment made in Mexico? And we have plenty of iron to make steel here; we just closed the foundaries and bought from abroad.
The point is they need us and they can be made to damned well understand that fact. Trump won't let them just flip us the bird in this fashion.
