    First, this was a shootout, not a bombing. Second, it was the Mexican military, who I’m pretty sure feel the effects of their actions, living in the country and all.

      Yes, I’m saying that Americans should let Mexicans (including the Mexican military) deal with their cartel problem and stay out of it.

          That the US shouldn’t pressure Mexico to do this or that to the cartels (which is what happened here), but also more generally that the unilateral action threatened by Trump and pursued by past administrations throughout the drug war shouldn’t have happened and shouldn’t happen.

            How do you know that’s what happened here? Mexico has plenty of incentive to take on the cartels without the US getting involved.

            This is actually kinda racist, to be honest. You’re assuming Mexico has no agency of their own, and everything they do is a result of pressure from the US.
