Blackjack never caught Pancho. The border is closed the lid is on the pressure cooker. Let them cook. The Mexican people need to stop making and selling drugs or live in a slow rolling civil war for as long as the border remains closed.
Puerto Vallarta is indeed a turning point. El Mencho’s death has triggered a narco war that the United States didn’t start but must, can and will finish. Sam Faddis did a great job on this most urgent piece. They crossed a line when they went into the resorts and started spraying them with bullets. Americans and other foreign nationals including women, children, babies, and old people were put in harm’s way. The cartels used to avoid the resorts at all costs because they didn’t want to kill or injure potential costumers for their “product” that being Fentanyl. But when El Mencho was killed the gloves came off and the cartels decided to put America on notice. They just made the biggest mistake of their lives! It’s bad enough they wantonly murder Mexicans. But now they are going after our people and folks from around the world? This is unacceptable and can’t be tolerated! I have no sympathy for El Mencho. He was a monster and a mass murderer and I feel no sorrow about his death. But his death has opened a Pandora’s Box that can’t be closed except with a robust American-Mexican join response!
Thanks for this. I’ve been watching Sam Faddis for a while. He’s always a realist and source of knowledge.
I’m not one of those risking their lives, but I have to think this is a fight worth having and worth winning. And long overdue.
Imagine if we had a peaceful, prosperous nation ally on our southern border. The Democrats worst nightmare.
It's a low-intensity but high-importance fight we've been putting off for 40 years. Venezuela is the opening but it's not the closing, obviously.
