His whole "the president doesn't want to take credit for this military raid" is pretty much complete bullshit, I see no reports or news on anyone else taking or not taking credit for the raid, she is the president, she commands the Army and she ran on the platform different form her predecessor, mainly different in their way to approach the Cartel problem. I guess, overall, people are becoming super desensitized to violence, death and war. Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, no one cares if thousands will die and everyone seems to be talking like the people there are an acceptable sacrifice so we can all just chill and play video games. Sure... over 200,000 murders under Lopez (founder of the party), he instantly released el Ovidio Guzman (Chapo Jr) when the army caught him, he was photographed attending his birthday party a few months before, the US "Cien Fuegos" a General of the Mexican army that worked with the cartels, Mexico asked to extradite him and as soon as he touched Mexican soil Lopez released him and later gave him a medal and Sheinbaum is on track to beat all his bloody records. The hubris to call bullshit on what I said while not having the slightest clue about Mexican politics, she didn't want to take credit for the Mencho take down, even Trump gave a press release before she did, everybody was talking about it while she was playing dumb, the operation ran without her knowledge or she was feigning not to know to not anger the CJNG. She did not run on a different platform than her predecessor stop making stuff up, she ran on the same "hugs not bullets" slogan, she blames Calderon (a previous president) for the violence since he declared war on the cartels, this party's ideology is to never fight the cartels they explicitly say it over and over, she blames the US for Sinaloas collapse because they took down El Mayo, the leader of a cartel, the only reason why people are getting caught is because Trump has been twisting her arm hard to take action against the cartels. | ||

Legalizing drugs work but so does brutal law enforcment like Bukele or Lee Kwan Yu did. Neither of these will happen since like I've stated before the cartels and the government are far too intertwined unless something drastic and unexpected happens. | ||

Brutal law enforcement never worked out for anyone in the long run. | ||

You have failed country moved on to authoritarian government basically. Things like that don't work in normal democracies. | ||

He, just like every other authoritarian boot licker worships Bukele who basically did what he accuses Mexican goverment of, made a deal with cartels: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/bukele-trump-gangs/ As usual, high level analysis from the top minds... | ||

You are completely right. The thing is, I consider Mexico a failed state if glorified street thugs are capable of intimidating gouvernment into compliance. Not that cleaning all mess is easy, thou. | ||
