Mexican Bacon?

Cost of the stuff with a worm in it might rise? I'll just drink Russia vodka, Oh wait! Don't drain the swamp, I need refuge too!

Looks like someone stopped their kickback payments and/or was no longer useful.

I've been watching and reading a bit about this. I think this could get really nasty in short time. The cartel is well armed and seem to be pretty stocked up on members or people who depend on them.
It's not beyond them to do some really nasty killings, many killings, toss in some bombings, fires etc to get their point across that they want Guzman's son released. If you remember, he was arrested a while back and was released to stop further deaths and as the news puts it, "bloodshed"
If I were in the area, I would be hiding in a deep hole somewhere. Nobody is safe from their violence. The more innocent the people hurt and killed, the better impact of the point they are trying to make. That point is to release Guzman or there is more to come.

The US sending troops (or better yet, some cruise missiles) to destroy the cartels is a foreign war I could get behind.

Every political party agrees the, "war on drugs" failed. With the support of all then, what can be done? We have created an insanely profitable market with prohibition. If these substances weren't illegal, the cartels would lose control quickly. Worth a closer look? For those who say no, how do we improve it?

[clodhopper]

Start making undercover buys using cash embedded with fentanyl? Let them get a "taste of their own medicine" so to speak?

Let me know when AstraZeneca, Daiichi Sankyo, Reckitt Benckiser, Hospira,
Pfizer, J&J, and the Moderna labs are flattened first along with all the people that conspired with the cartels to bring their products here in the first place.

I would much rather go after the root of the problem.

Last I saw in the press the cartel shot down a few army helicopters. 25 vehicle cartel convoy engaged some Blackhawks.This isn't the cocaine cowboys of Miami circa the 1980's. The cartel has billions in their budget.

Great. The wife and some of her friends are going to Puerto Vallarta next week. Where is all this BS going on?

<edit> I just looked it up, PV isn't very far from there, just down the coast aways. They're going to a big annual AA convention there, with thousands of Americans and others flying in from all over. Big target.

I’d skip the convention.

[rondog]

I’d skip the convention.

I would too, but they look forward to this as soon they get on the plane to leave the last one, and they buy tickets to the next year's convention as soon as they come available. I've made her and one of the others aware, but they're not canceling for nothing.
