Mexico Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch said Monday 25 members of the National Guard were left dead in Jalisco in six separate attacks after the killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes.
Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho” was the boss of one of the fastest-growing criminal networks in Mexico, notorious for trafficking fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine to the United States and staging brazen attacks against government officials who challenged it.
He was killed during a shoot-out in his home state of Jalisco as the Mexican military attempted to capture him. Cartel members responded with violence across the country, blocking roads and setting fire to vehicles.
Instability in a neighbour is the perfect excuse for a fascist expansionist “intervention”. Ugh. Not that I like the cartels or anything. Mexico is stuck between a rock and hard place here.
The people are stuck, the politicians are doing great!
Could the US be any more incompetent?
Zero planning for repercussions
You’re viewing the backlash as a bug rather than a feature. Vance will be back on TV in a week, arguing the US needs to intervene directly.

This was the plan all along
Vance is a clown, he’s got no juice, it’s the project 2025 people calling the shots.
Fair. Did not immediately think of other ways the US could abuse its power.
I was thinking it would be much sooner than that
This was the Mexican army, not US
“he US has been pushing its southern neighbour to take more aggressive action”
Acting on US intelligence.
Coerced by Trump…
I mean, what’s your alternative competent plan for dealing with the cartels?
Make peoples lived better, so most don’t want to escape them.
The cartels aren’t going to allow that
The cartels can’t. And yes they won’t. This was more that the people complaining about them and drove the attack on them. (Fascists/trump) They are the only ones that could do anything to hurt the cartels. IE make peoples lives better so they don’t seek drugs to escape them. But they don’t care about making lives better or helping anyone but themselves. And anyone appeasing them only hurts themselves.
I got ya! I misunderstood!
But how does that benefit the shareholders?
They get to continue living. Pretty cushy don’t ya think.
Unless your idea of Cushy is the national razor that sound dumb.
That was literally the implication. They can change their ways and become a benefit to society. Or eliminated to at least cease being a burden.
Do you think the Mexican government isn’t already trying to do that? They clearly don’t have the resources to pull it off.
I wasn’t speaking specifically of the Mexican government more as a general thing. Unfortunately, this is largely out of Mexican government control. The fascist oligarchs in the United States have made the lives of people there so miserable that they need drugs to get by. There’s not much the Mexican government can do about that. As long as that problem exists, the symptoms of cartel leaders rising up to fill that need will always happen.
Oh, in that case I agree completely - the root cause is demand in the US.
the root cause is demand in the US.
The root cause is the War on Drugs.
Yep. I 100% feel for the Mexican government ON THAT POINT. For every kingpin they kill 1-2 will pop up. More vicious and violent than the last. And there’s literally nothing they can do. Because its a response to an external issue they can’t address.
Hugs not Drugs! /s
Legalize all drugs and dismantle the CIA
That would solve the issue, so we won’t do it.
I mean, what’s your alternative competent plan for dealing with the cartels?
Cut off demand, you’ll never kill every single drug dealer… its insane to think you can do it that way
