If your government refuses to stop the flow of drugs into the US by addressing cartels don't be surprised if the US delivers weapons to said cartels so they can have some infighting going on.
If the mexican government would actually make work of dismantling the organized trade, there would be no incentive to deliver them weapons to shoot each other.

- DANmode 6mo agoThat’s your understanding of why Intelligence backs/works with cartels?! Oh honey. Black budgets. Cashflow, flow of power. The “Mexican government” was headed by CIA assets multiple times in recent history: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34903090 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34903090 https://jacobin.com/2023/06/mexico-jose-lopez-portillo-declassified-documents-cold-war-human-rights/ https://jacobin.com/2023/06/mexico-jose-lopez-portillo-decla... What are you expecting Mexico to do, again?
- bdangubic 6mo agosupply is never an issue, USA would supply poison to entire planet if the demand was there. blaming Mexico for the sickness of our society is very rich (but often repeated)
- DoctorOetker 6mo agoI never pretend supply is a monocausal issue, but it is a contributing issue. You prefer to believe in monocausal scapegoat mechanisms? Stick your head in the sand at your own peril. You claim US would supply the poison with pleasure itself, but then why is it being imported?
