Love to get my foreign policy from the second SICARIO movie, in which designating cartels as terrorists to get "dirty" produces a screwup so bad they try to clean all evidence of it, and the net result is a bunch of dead bodies and no impact whatsoever on the drug trade. - ThreadSky

Love to get my foreign policy from the second SICARIO movie, in which designating cartels as terrorists to get "dirty" produces a screwup so bad they try to clean all evidence of it, and the net result is a bunch of dead bodies and no impact whatsoever on the drug trade.

Trump designates the cartels as terrorist orgs and Musk immediately suggests drone striking Mexico 🫠

i dunno, by all means I think Elon musk should directly threaten CJNG and see what happens

There's a non-zero chance that at least one high ranking person in that organization follows Elon on Twitter, and so, they know.

People have been killed for saying wayyyy less than that.

Elon might have bodyguards, but they are -not- capable of defending him against cartel hitmen.

They'll want to put a bunch of Punisher logos on the drones so they can max out on Not Getting the Story

Well if we're going to have a world war and it's already hot in the Eastern Hemisphere, let's get cooking in the Western!

In the lore of the Cyberpunk universe (the table-top game and CP2077), the precipitating event that leads to a series of corporate wars and subsequent collapse of the USA is a war in Mexico to destroy the cartels. Sooooo 😟
