    How many bus full of Mexicans must get slaughtered before he will fight them on behalf of Mexicans?

        Mexican police went to America to be trained by their military. When police were sent back, they abandoned the government and became one of the most vicious and capable cartels on the planet.

        I’m aware. And I think that’s a US cultural thing not neoliberal. Most of Europe wouldn’t contribute to the weapon issue if they were next to Mexico.

        But on the main topic, sure there is some crazy footage but he still is using a padded stick.

      It really seems like he has been fighting them, at least significantly more than previous presidents

        How is this “fight” being represented? I ask, because in more than one occasion he’s been seen being close to El Chapo’s mother, do you mean he’s “fighting” cartels by negotiating with them? Or does this fight mean rather things like shouting “more hugs, less shootings”, or his menacing “I’ll tell on you to your mothers!” to the cartels?

      Fighting them is gonna cause way more bus loads to die then just leaving them be. The cartels aren’t evil psychopaths who kill for fun, they know violence is bad for business. The only downside to leaving them alone is they’ll send more drugs to the u.s which isn’t Mexico’s problem.
