Trump Says US Will Start ‘Hitting Land’, Targeting Cartels ‘Running Mexico’

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-says-us-will-start-hitting-land-targeting-cartels-running-mexico-11333304

President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday night that the United States is “going to start now hitting land” in its fight against drug cartels—framing the move as a response to what he claimed is cartel control of Mexico and a U.S. death toll in the “250,000–300,000” range every year.

This is the most peace I’ve seen from any president, ever! There is so much peacing going on, I’m peaced out! How can one man throw around so much peace? It’s amazing! It must be his internal moral code that makes the peace just flow right out of him!

He's gotta invade these countries to acquire the rare earth metals needed to create his peace prizes.

Magnets are made from rare earth metals. I hope he goes into the next MRI with his magnetic peace prize on.

I'm sure the peace he was talking about is that of the grave.

I don't know, it's only about as much peace as you can fit in a tiny Carney hand.

Trump and Hegseth have no clue what they are getting into. Cartels dont follow rules.

They will cut military personel into pieces, and hang the pieces from lamp posts in Juarez.

Sadly this will never happen. These walking units of wasted potential joined because they want to bully women, children, the weak and the old, maybe even murder someone. But war against someone shooting back? Mass resignations.

The whole worlds going to climb up inside our asshole and start some shit.

Nah. The world is gonna just gonna wall you in with the Nazis. If this keeps escalating then countries will refuse to accept Americans into their countries, refuse American business, refuse American culture and so on. Eventually you will be stuck in the cesspool you created (don't mean you specifically BTW, just Americans in general).

There you go with the "consent" thing. Trump doesn't know that word.

I'm not climbing anywhere but if the US invades and envelopes us in its asshole we have no choice but to start shit.

LoL the cartels are going to join forces and create a huge army to defend Mexico.

If we promise to buy lots of drugs do you think they'll come bust us out here in America?

I'm not sure the cartels are going to be the benevolent liberators you are looking for.

WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 231d

They could be the less malevolent ones maybe?

You "lol", but if trump threatens their black market economy you bet your ass they'll unite.

Literally "La cucaracha's" theme. And the Mexican revolution.

Perhaps he should just kinda ... go there. Meet with the heads of the cartels personally. Have an informal dialogue. Just him, and Vance, and Hegseth, and Noem ...

With criminals, I mean Trump and his Minions of course.
