As I’ve written before, I live in a small city 40 miles from the Mexican border. If uniparty psychopaths, calling themselves “republicans,” are successful, my home will be on the frontline of a vicious war.
“A growing number of prominent Republicans are rallying around the idea that to solve the fentanyl crisis, America must bomb it away,” Politico reports.

In recent weeks, Donald Trump has discussed sending “special forces” and using “cyber warfare” to target cartel leaders if he’s reelected president and, per Rolling Stone, asked for “battle plans” to strike Mexico. Reps. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) and Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) introduced a bill seeking authorization for the use of military force to “put us at war with the cartels.” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said he is open to sending U.S. troops into Mexico to target drug lords even without that nation’s permission. And lawmakers in both chambers have filed legislation to label some cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, a move supported by GOP presidential aspirants.
In other words, Trump, Crenshaw, Waltz, and Tom Cotton (infamous for participating in the war crime known as Fallujah) are advocating the murder of untold Mexicans and Americans as part of a new drug war, this one with actual rockets, missiles, tanks, fighting vehicles, etc., destroying everything in sight.
If you think this would be a surgical operation targeting only evil drug lords and their minions, please consider the example of Panama when George H.W. Bush invaded that small Latin American country to arrest Manual Noriega (former CIA) for his involvement in the lucrative business of drug trafficking. Thousands of innocent Panamanians, the vast majority not involved in the drug industry, were shot, bombed, and incinerated.
As president, Trump considered placing cartels on the State Department’s terrorist blacklist. He also asked about using missiles to take out drug labs and cartels in Mexico, according to former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, who wrote in his memoir that he rejected the idea at the time.
The Sinaloa cartel is based in Culiacán, Mexico. More than 800,000 people live there. If the USG attacks Culiacán, as it did in Fallujah, the result will be a destroyed city and thousands of dead civilians. The same can be said for other regions where drug cartels reign—Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Hildago, Sonora, Durango, Michoacán, that is much of the country. There are numerous cartels, mostly in competition with each other, including, in addition to those previously mentioned: the Beltrán Leyva Organization, Los Rojos, Cárteles Unidos, Guerreros Unidos, and the Juárez Cartel.
Urban areas on the USG side of the border would host deployed troops and equipment, and thus become targets. Holloman Air Force Base, where combat-ready F-16 Fighting Falcons and MQ-9 Reaper drones are stationed, is less than 90 miles from the border. In addition, the USG’s Fort Bliss, a vast military base straddling New Mexico and Texas, and the adjacent White Sands Missile Range present viable targets.
Mexican drug cartels recruit elite soldiers. “The leakage of Mexican special forces into organized crime began in the 1990s when the powerful Gulf cartel recruited a group of ex-Gafe [Cuerpo de Fuerzas Especiales] troops to create its own paramilitary enforcement unit, known as Los Zetas,” The Guardian reported in 2018.
