Damn it really sucked I had to work a 12 hr shift during the inauguration and had to miss the best posts from here. Oh well time to get stuck in! Yesterday was a great day, and seeing the highlights of TTD and "cartels are terrorists" brighten my day.
Speaking of the cartels...
I believe this would result in domestic insurgency. The cartels have so many through-ways into the nation and so much drug money that they could crank up the murder rate until it becomes politically unpopular to act against them. I know I'm going to read a lot of "That can't happen" but this is how they took over Mexico, all they have to do is blend into the hispanic population in various states (there's a lot) and use them as staging grounds for chlorine bombs, fucking up power grids and so on.
That would be the dumbest thing the cartels could do. When has terrorism in the form of "kill a bunch of people, make them scared, and then they will have to bend the knee!" worked more than it failed throughout recent history? What is this 1240s Central Asia with the Mongols knocking at the city gates?
Oh I know what you'll say next since you've already basically said it before "but in Mexico they can't fight them anymore due to fear of reprisals and assassination!" that's because Mexico is a failed state that hasn't seen concrete stability lasting more than two decades since it's foundation as a nation. It doesn't help that in some places in Mexico the fucking cartels have formed more effective local governments than the actual federal government of Mexico. The Mexican military and police force are corrupt and dogshit, which means of course Mexico can't kick them out through force.
Let's say Trump follows through and hits the cartels harder than they've ever been hit before. Now said cartel has decided to commit multiple terrorist attacks on US soil that result in the deaths of civilians, damage to infrastructure etc. What do you think happens next?
I'll tell you what happens next. The American people are going to be
pissed. It's one thing to hear your distant cousin's daughter died to fent, it's another thing to hear your brother got gassed by chlorine by people that are just across the border.
I would imagine these hypothetical attacks will have the Hispanic American community as collateral damage either through government raids trying to find the fuckers that did it or being at the wrong place wrong time during an attack. You might even see Juan himself join up to shoot these niggers. The people would demand that enough is enough, and it's time for shit to get real. The only people who would blame Trump are the usual suspect leftists whose solutions to complex problems like this is just to sit there and do nothing.
Finally, this would give the US federal government the Casus Belli it needs to tell the Mexican government and UN to shut up and stand down.
Now I will say you aren't entirely wrong, however. There are multiple cartels, and one of them may have leadership retarded enough to do something crazy, but if your solution to solving violence is just to let the violence happen because if you don't then maybe worse violence will happen you don't have a solution, you're just living on your knees hoping massa doesn't whip you this time. A truly un-American mindset.
These people only understand two languages: money and violence. Bonus points if we do find the corrupt fuckers in our system that helps these bastards and purge the rot out before we become Mexico 2.0.
The cartel's best solution isn't to further escalate the conflict, their best solution is for their leadership to take the billions of dollars they have and to fucking run to the darkest corner they can find like the roaches they are until a Democrat gets back in office.
