'Joe Biden has sided against the United States'

Former President Donald Trump is unveiling a bold plan to use the power of the U.S. military to crush Mexico's drug cartels.

"The drug cartels are waging war on America — and it's now time for America to wage war on the cartels," Trump said in a video posted on his Truth Social platform.

The Post Millennial reports the following as the plan's components:

•   "Restore all Trump border policies and fully secure the border";

•   "Deploy all necessary military assets, including the U.S. Navy, to impose a full naval embargo on the cartels, to ensure they cannot use our region’s waters to traffic illicit drugs to the U.S.";

•   "Order the Department of Defense to make appropriate use of special forces, cyber warfare, and other covert and overt actions to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership, infrastructure, and operations";

•   "Designate the major drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations";

•   "Cut off the cartels’ access to the global financial system";

•   "Get full cooperation of neighboring governments to dismantle the cartels, or else fully expose the bribes and corruption that protect these criminal networks";

•   "Ask Congress to ensure drug smugglers and traffickers can receive the death penalty."

I cannot object to a program that would possibly impoverish the people here who are making bank, one way or another, off that trade, and which could actually free the Mexican People from Cartel domination.

Like Pershing pursuing Pancho Villa...

The question is whether it would violate the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

I know some wanted to classify them as terrorist organizations, but that really isn't accurate. These are hostile, foreign, quasi-govt like entities that go way beyond the idea of a terrorist cell or network. They almost need to be treated like state actors and gone after militarily.

[Fishrrman]

I've predicted for years -- decades -- that someday it would be necessary for the USA to go into Mexico militarily and "clean the place out".

We ought to regard the cartels as the Western Hemisphere's version of isis, and act accordingly.

Gee Donny, When you could have, should have, you didn't.   Piss off.
