Trump says U.S. to designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorists

Sure they don't mind escalating the violence against unarmed citizens, corrupt Mexican police, Mexican officials, cartel rivals and other easy targets.  I don't believe that they would (or even could) do much escalating against the US military. 

No they will go after their familly.

Why do you think Trump declared them as terrorists? It's not just so that they can prosecute those that assist or aid them, it's so that stern measures can be taken against them which would not otherwise be approved or justified.  Having deemed them as terrorists, all options are on the table now.  It doesn't matter if they are living just on the other side of the border, in fact this is presents an even more clear and present danger which must be addressed (in whatever means he/they deem necessary).

They are already in the US. Anyway I wish good luck to the US. They can't go wrong by doing the same old same old.

Good video. I do know that they are well organized and scattered all across the US (not just South of the border), but to just sit back and do nothing would mean that the USA is just turning a blind eye and in my view, it was a big mistake to kill and injure those women and children (which were American Citizens).  The perpetrator's of that incident are living just South of the border (that is whom I was referring to).  This is a turning point and things are about to change (for better or worse).

It's going to be raining down missiles soon on the Mexican drug cartel hideouts (drone strikes). 

 

Big mistake, they should have left those poor white Mormon Americans alone.  It's payback time now and "Uncle Sam don't use no peashooters no more" 5555.  You probably won't see it in the news though, this will be a quiet mission and nobody's going to talk about it afterwards... is my hunch.

Do you really believe that the USA can keep this a secret from the world?

 

How many people in Mexico do you think have smart phones with cameras? All it will take is a few of them posting on the social media and "Uncle Sam" will be toast.

Uncle Sam does not care what the rest of the world thinks when it is going after "terrorists".  Once Sammy labels them terrorists, like it or not, he does what he sees fit regardless of the backlash and drama that unfolds... as egotistical and arrogant as it may be.

And egotistical and arrogant it is. The USA may think that they rule the world but sadly for them under Trump, they don't anymore.

I have to agree, but they didn't rule the world under Obama either.

So will the people who buy and use these ‘Drug Terrorist’s’ products be guilty of supporting terrorism?

 

 

Or freedom fighters?

Decriminalisation and Legalisation would starve the narco mafia of profits, allow treatment and harm reduction, for the users, release police resources, and raise billions for governments. The war on drugs is a war on the people that corrupts, individuals,  communities,  police and the penal system. The war on drugs does more damage than the drugs themselves. The illegal status of drugs is supported by all mafia groups. It is the key to their wealth as was the war on alcohol during the 30s.

And that is one big reason why the USA is losing allies and friends worldwide under Trump.

But under Obama they still had a fair amount of respect, kept their allies and friends and the world was a much better place to live in.

What do you make of this latest "peace plan" from Trump? Will he just walk away from Afghanistan as he walked away from the Kurds in Syria after they had put their mens lives on the line to fight ISIS?

why was it a much better place precisely? cause you agreed with the policies? or was it a rainbow and unicorn thing with rivers of chocolate for all to feast upon while teddy bears danced in glee?

ALL wars are pointless, no matter who is fighting who or how much it costs.

i disagree. The US revolutionary war was well worth the effort. Sometimes there is no other choice. I wonder how many americans would disagree with you about the US Civil war as well. or the defeat of Nazi Germany. were those pointless?

[garyk]

The Mexican people are sick of it also. They are holding demonstrations all over Mexico now. It’s a mess.

And what was the costs in lives, money and property in those wars?
