BREAKING: Weapons Given To Ukraine May Now Be Used Against US Soldiers At Mexico Border
By Major General Paul Vallely (USA, Ret)

These Are Not Cartels, They Are Organized Armies Moving Across Our Southern Border

You can no longer call these cartels. They are small armies that control vast swaths of territory across Mexico. The Mexican Army is powerless to stop them. The weapons used in the war in Ukraine are now allegedly showing up right on the other side of our southern border. Our elected leaders at the state legislature and county board of supervisors/commissioners had better do something about this quickly. If these cartels decide to unite and cross over the southern borderline, our local sheriffs and border patrol would be dusted and rolled over in a heartbeat. They cannot stand up to this kind of firepower. Legislatures and county officials must start allocating resources to local sheriffs and police departments so they can immediately plus up with manpower and equipment against this possible eventuality. I have zero faith that the federal government would act quickly enough to stop an organized military engagement on our southern border.

Alleged armed members of a Mexican drug cartel were found and arrested on the Texas side of the Southern Border this week. According to Fox News, five people believed to belong to the Cartel Del Noreste were arrested Thursday in Fronton, Texas, by the Texas Department of Public Safety, National Guard, and Border Patrol.

Disturbingly, the group included some juveniles. Authorities said two men were armed with rifles, and several wore tactical gear.

Who didn't see this coming?? It was just a matter of time before our own weapons were used against us.   

Let's Go Brandon!!!!

This has been happening since 'Fast and Furious', so it is no surprise.


Considering Pershing set the precedent pursuing Pancho Villa, what is to prevent a cartel crushing military response (except the lack of desire by certain parties to stop the invasion)?

Yup.  Ukraine has become the black market capitol of the world for US weapons, edging out Afganistan.

Here's where I'd edit the slogan to read:  "Let's Go Brandon And Your Republican/Conservative Cohorts!!!!!"

As well as the world's largest washing machine for American taxpayer $$$!

There are plenty of "Republicans" on the payroll for sure!

This is one reason why I have always stated that the War between Russia and Ukraine is their war not ours.  We should have stopped sending weapons and $$$ long ago.  It accomplished nothing and we have once again enabled our enemy and lined the pockets of Brandon and cronies and Zelenskyy.

I don't have a problem sending,direct military aid-weapons. Sending money to save their economy is a no-go.

... The weapons used in the war in Ukraine are now allegedly showing up right on the other side of our southern border. ...

While theft is non-zero in Ukraine as in the US, and the Russians probably have captured some US-supplied weapons, is there any evidence to support this "allegation"? Paul Vallely retired from the Army some 30 years ago, so does he still have sources in the Army or in the Border Patrol? Or is he just repeating, without substantiation, a rumor of unknown quality?

Not much, other than some video of some guys selling a few rifles and an rpg.

It's most likely the case that the Russians have been seizing weapons found on Ukrainian soldiers they capture, or kill, and selling those seized weapons on the black market.

Or maybe the Talibanders have given away or sold some of the arms they captured courtesy of Brandon's Skedaddle? But since the article seems to be repeating a rumor, I doubt there are actual arms whose serial numbers could be checked to trace the provenance.

As I just posted in another thread, a couple of decades of -grade hype and @#$% have me as wary of conservative "news" and commentary sites as I am of Prog "news" and commentary sites. I'm willing to be convinced by actual evidence, but the OP article reeks of anti-Ukraine clickbait.
