“It has become hazardous now given the Mexican drug cartels’ increased military capacity and tactical competence,” Brandan Buck, a research fellow at Cato, wrote.
“Directing American Special Operations Forces against the cartels would put them up against a sizable near-peer competitor in asymmetric warfare, thus putting the US government into a position of little escalatory advantage.
“Such a move would not just force the American military into another quagmire; it would drop them into a morass up to their metaphorical waist.”
Cool, we are invading Mexico.
Have they tried just asking the CIA to stop financing them
Cia funded cartels face off against pentagon funded law enforcement
Wasn’t that basically what Afghanistan was?
I was thinking of the headline regarding militias in Syria but I’m sure it applies to Afghanistan as well
when they get money from the cia they’re called “al qaeda” and when they get money from the pentagon they’re called “isis”
Special forces vs cartels trained by special forces
A tale at least as old as the CIA
dude can you imagine when the cartels assassinate their first american president
YEAR OF 4 PRESIDENTS
“Leaded” Presidents
If it happens in the next 4 years then yes, yes I can. I imagine something similar everyday in fact.
First?
I like how the article goes back and forth between calling him “a man dressed as a ninja” and just “a ninja,” especially this line:
The ninja did not obey deputies’ orders
The ninja did not obey deputies’ orders
Your laws don’t apply to me mortal :shinobi:
Someone posted this scene not to long ago here to hexbear and it’s so over the top and I love seeing all the cops get got by ninja man.
My favorite kill is the throwing star thrown from between his toes into the helicopter pilot’s head
And just when you think he’s dead, nope, hiding under the ground like a true baller.
Only a ninja can kill a ninja

Projectile rounds were used “but were ineffective,” it added.
HAHAHAHA
This is why ninja traditionally carry a variety of weapons. If a sergeant from 160th SOAR jumps a fence you have to have your dart gun ready to go, loaded with fentanyl or meta-cyanide darts.
i want these fascisti going home in bodybags but i don’t want the mexican people to pay for it
Invade Mexico, Defend Ukraine, Defend Taiwan, Defend Israel…where are all these new troops coming from? How overstretched can one Empire be?
Keep that dial tuned to the capitalist apocalypse for answers to these and other exciting questions!
Hell yeah, can’t wait to hear the Narcocorridos that come out of this
it’s going to have the orange in the title or the song; something like “the orange monkey”
El Mono Naranja no es macho
Solamente come nachos
create the black market, create the supply chains, arm the dealers, send in the special forces
Assuming the cartels are suitably powerful, I’m all for this. No better way to get people to stop supporting the military: many dead Americans and an increase in the price of necessities (drugs from cartels).
It would be very funny if the cartels start doing terrorism in the us. You’d love to see it.
About fucking time someone did
Dangit, I was hoping I did a good enough job y’all would Never Forget
It’s only american cartels doing terrorism in mexico.
So anyways I started blastingI found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
legit ptsd from that maybe spoiler?
Done
Any war the USA starts is guaranteed to be a quagmire because the USA will half-ass it like they always do in order to save money, thereby actually costing more in the long run.
The purpose of a system is what it does. We must therefore conclude that the purpose of US “interventions” is to create quagmires and failed states while generating massive profits for the military-industrial complex.
Good point. The “savings” is just costs siphoning off to fill MIC coffers.
in order to save money
Actually, they spend an absurd amount of money on their wars, what you mean is maximize profits for the military contractors.
Well they never have an exit plan because the owners think they can just devalue the dollar and austerity the rest of us for profits because damned the torpedoes the line must go up. Peace means an end to their gravy train.
On the one hand, I don’t want them to invade and “accidentally” regime-change a progressive Mexico gov’t, under Claudia Sheinbaum
On the other, if the gov’t is overthrown anyway, an Afghanistan-esque war might be a boon to stopping America’s hegemony…
Wow just like Fallout!
But Doctor, I am Pagliacci
