Can we MMGA (Make Mexico Great Again)?

 

"Many of the cartels are armed with stuff similar to a Delta Force unit. Amazing what can be bought on the black market. The cartels fight the Mexican military and Mexican cops all the time. And the cartels are good at it. But who is better equipped and trained than the cartels are? Us. It might be time to send in the carvery - invited of course, by President Sheinbaum."

Holy smokes! Talk about a throwback to our wild, wild west! Mexico, as most of us know, is the land of drugs, gangs, and cartels. President Trump had given the Mexican President a forced choice. Either you take our help in providing intel to get rid of a Mexican Drug Lord, or Trump was going to send in our special forces, and we would take care of business. President Sheinbaum agreed to the intel assist, and the Mexican military and cops killed the drug lord (El Mencho) in a gun fight. And then all hell broke loose.

Puerto Vallarta was particularly hard hit. Wait - this is a vacation town for American northern snowbirds. The bad guys probably know that and that is why it was chosen to be the object of their wrath. The American ambassador has advised all Americans to "shelter in place". Flights are cancelled, and word has it food is hard to come by. Some vacation.

I have advised friends for years to stay away from Mexico. Until Mexico can get ahold of their cartel problem, and make Mexico safe again, stay in the southern parts of America for warmth in February. Just so I don't sound like a hypocrite, my wife and I stopped in Cabo a few years back as part of a cruise. We went ashore, but I never felt fully safe, even with a cruise organizing it. On our last cruise to Hawaii a few years ago, there was a stop at a northern Mexico town just south of the border. We took a pass on going ashore on that one.

Can the US finish up with Venezuela, fix Cuba, effect regime change in Iran, and tame Mexico at the same time? We might have to. My advice to the Democrats - stop playing games and get back to work. The world is a serious place right now, with some serious problems. Stop acting like children and open the government back up. Now.
