Opinion Mexican president claims that criminal groups are ‘respectful’ and ‘respect the citizenry’

[oldshadow]

I certainly didn't say that. So not sure why you're bringing that up. I'm pointing out that blaming Mexico for America's love of drugs is hilarious, as is thinking that increasing the value of drugs would be good for society.

I don't blame Mexican unless the government supports or condones the illegal importation of it to the US. Which this president did.

However it's our problem and responsibly to control our borders so it's our problem. We do that by closing and controlling our borders.

Then since the president of Mexico view that the people trying to bring drugs into our country are good respectful people we stop all aid and help to him.

The people dealing drugs here are our problem and we deal with them and their violence. We build more prisons and lock violent drug dealers for life.

If drugs get harder to get and rhr price go's up so what. We give the power to the people to protect themselves and training and money to the police to deal with it.

We don't go with your plan to just not try to stop it.

They also pay bribes and were good enough not to murder his whole family and everyone within a city block.
What’s not to believe

this kinda sounds of a hostage kidnapped by the taliban putting out some kind of video praising and bootlicking the taliban while theres's a bunch of taliban members in the background holding ak-47's about ready to blow the dudes head off.

LOL at poverty as "the root cause".

Yeah, I think we can say with confidence that Obrador is a broken coward: works for the cartels. It's not even a serpentine channel. Takes his orders directly from them.

The first time the Mexican authorities arrested El Chapo's son it was by accident in an unrelated drug raid. They weren't prepared. It resulted in a staredown that ultimately made its way to the President's desk, and he made the call to let the kid go because he knew otherwise all of his SWAT and any other military or police he could tap in the immediate area would be slaughtered if he didn't.

That's power.

You wouldn't even see an arrest or raid like that, anymore. The government lost the war. They surrendered under the coward that is their current President. The socialist imp even tried to blame it on the US. Said he wouldn't be our "policemen". When the cartels murdered over 150K Mexicans between 2006-2016 alone, and continue that pace today. The American people aren't his bourgeoisie in need of a state-ordained bodyguard. Nobody here is dying that didn't snort their death up his own nose, or inject it into his own arm. He just wants their junkie money, and he's willing to flood his own streets with his own people's blood for a share of it.

Mexico’s president says he won’t fight drug cartels on US orders, calls it a ‘Mexico First’ policy​

Mexico is a de facto narco state. The cartels run it. Obrador is their poodle begging for a cut of the take.

This is what coexistence looks like.

'INSERT COUNTRY FIRST' should be taken as an early warning system and political red flag that someone is bought and paid for. It works across the political aisle.

It is a precursor and an excuse for the pursuit of ridiculous policies with no shame whatsoever by those intent on throwing order into chaos to serve themselves at any expense.

It's the byword for corrupt pieces of shit.

If you read a few Anabel Hernandez books you see how thoroughly cartels are supported and dependent on government corruption. I remember an interview with one of the Zeta leaders after he was captured saying the biggest expenditure for cartels is bribery. Cartels spend hundreds of millions of dollars on corrupting people on every level of government. Often they even have cops actively performing kidnappings and murders for them (A ton of prominent cartel guys have had police backgrounds)

Often times major cartel guys get captured and they just have a corrupt judge that orders them to be released (This is happening right now with El Mencho's brother Don Rodo who was captured recently)

Wait, they letting Mencho's bro go??

Yeah a judge just ordered him to be released due to insufficient evidence. He is charged with illegal firearm possession and drug possession, as all this contraband was discovered on his arrest

It sounds like his defence team got a bunch of locals to testify that he was abused while being detained, and a doctor to claim that he has degenerative diseases that mean he can't handle firearms

It wouldn't surprise me if he was abused while being detained but CJNG could also just be bribing/threatening people to testify on his behalf

Ahhh...yeah, I can't say it must be fun threatened by CJNG. They are like ISIS level wildness
