Mexico - Nation state or narco state?

"Donald Trump has a vision and a plan for not only the United States, but also our neighbors. But that plan does not include drugs nor human trafficking. It is a plan of unity and working together. Prosperity. Peace. Everything we don't have now in North America."

Oh, my goodness, do we ever have problems in our neighborhood. Our neighbor to the north, is on the verge of splitting in two. Why? People in the west in Canada are citizens and patriots. People and leaders in the east are tyrants. Yes, Canada really has some problems right now, and it does not help that Justin Trudeau was followed by the very clueless Mark Carney. Wither will the Canucks go. Unity or splits-vile? Time will tell.

But Mexico, that country is a real mess. And the current leader, Claudia Sheinbaum is in way, way over her head. In fact, riots are breaking out in Mexico City, protesting her. Why? Giving the cartels love taps instead of the iron fist. Just this month, another two mayors were killed in front of their families. One was beheaded, and his head was mounted on the front of his car. By whom? By a group of thugs and terrorists who like Mexico wild and untamed. Where drugs are king and laws are passe.

Don't look now, but Mexico is no longer the free-range country it has been for some time now. To their north, President Trump has decreed that cartels are now a public enemy of the US. No more unfettered drug shipments into the United States. No more unfettered illegal immigration into the United States. The squeeze is on. What is happening in Venezuela might soon be happening in Mexico.

But here is the odd thing about Mexico. If Mexico could ever get its drug cartels under control, get law and order restored, Mexico has everything needed to be a nation state instead of a narco state. Cold hard fact. The United States is willing and able to help Mexico out. But first, Mexico needs to be willing to accept some military and paramilitary help. We have the technology and the will to bust up the cartels. Make them obsolete. But without the help of President Sheinbaum, it will all be for naught.

This is the new reality. Both Mexico and Canada better come to grips with it. The United States is the big kid on the block once again. No more Sleepy Joe at the wheel. Donald Trump has a vision and a plan for not only the United States, but also our neighbors. But that plan does not include drugs nor human trafficking. It is a plan of unity and working together. Prosperity. Peace. Everything we don't have now in North America.

Mexico, we need you. You need us. It is time for law and order once again. It is time to rejoin the league of nations. Become a nation state. It is time. It is long past time.
