US drones/aircraft have been flying over Mexico for ~15yrs and CIA also started flying them there under Biden admin at the request of Mexican gov. I'm skeptical Mexico would start using offensive drones though, they prefer helicopters for operations.
- yieldcrv 2y agoBut these will be drones with missiles launched by DoD unilaterally
- dmix 2y agoNot without Mexico's consent. Unless you think they would commit an act a war against Mexico... to fight cartels or something? Even Obama's drone strikes in Yemen was under approval of the Yemen gov, it's a very serious thing to do.
- yieldcrv 2y agothe new list just dropped, all the cartels are on it and listed as terror organizations the US also has a history of ignoring sovereignty and saying the strikes weren't against the government, just the non-state terror organization I also believe the US can coerce "consent" from a sovereign, if its more convenient to check that box so like I wrote earlier, the gentrified parts of CDMX will be fine
