Mexican Official Threatens to Unleash Cartels, Flood U.S. With Drugs and Narcotics
2017-02-02
"If people had doubts about the Mexican government being influenced and controlled by drug cartels, well, they can put that doubt away. In a stunning segment on Fareed Zakaria’s CNN broadcast today Mexico’s former foreign minister, Jorge Castaneda, states the Mexican government is willing to counter U.S. President Donald Trump policy by unleashing drug cartels upon the U.S. border.
Helping make the POTUS case for greater border security.
Watch, and more importantly LISTEN, to his words at 02:10 at the link.

This is the most politically explosive admission by the Mexican government in the past decade. Even Fareed Zakaria realized what was being threatened and quickly attempted to redirect the conversation.

Castaneda is openly admitting a willingness to promote drug trafficking. Additionally, Jorge Castaneda is so proud of the threat, he even posted a video of the discussion on his own YouTube page.

However, don’t expect the video to remain in place too long, because the implications here are so politically explosive, and the admission so brutally obvious and threatening, it could undermine the entire argument of the Mexican government and expose an open secret of collusion they would prefer to remain hidden.
Proving absolutely that the Mexican Government is in bed with the Cartels. Arm Photon Trumpedoes...

#19  I'm with Abu on this one.
The only thing the Mexican government does to inhibit the Cartels is buy them a forth round of drinks.

#18  We should threaten them. We give them 10 of our politicians for every cartel member that comes across the border.

#16  Just start punishing American businesses which employ illegals - make employing illegals more expensive.

#15  But I agree with Tennessee and Shipman: clear and present danger, tar baby on steroids. Just build the wall and make damn sure they stay on their side of it.

#14  Wait a minute. This sounds like a hollow threat to me. I mean, what can they do that they are not already doing?

Predatory Pricing. Product dumping huh.

#12  Build the wall, but don't mess south of the border, it's a tar baby on steroids.

#11  Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster stated that there are only two ways to fight the US...stupidly or asymmetrically. This article outlines a classic asymmetric warfare approach. The warlords in the south have been exploiting us for decades...they weaken us with their poison, strengthen themselves with our money, send waves of poor refugees in to mask their activities and hobble our response. We should not forget the lessons learned in Afghanistan...that warlords can be more powerful than nation states...they exist in Mexico and are a clear and present danger.

#10  We should go down there and clean their clock. The wall needs to be built and we could build it on freshly ceded territory. BooYah.

#8  Re: drug vs narcotics. Yes, for practical purposes.There's a lot of confusions about 'drugs', 'narcotics, 'medications', 'pharmaceuticals' etc. ... For example, cocaine, and crack and other stimulants are definitely not narcotics from a medical point of view. "Narcotics" are drugs that put you to sleep.

I got this off the internet, so it must be true.

#7  Thus brought the leaked conversation Trump had with Mexico where he threatened to send troops if they didn't police their shit.

#6  Wow, both drugs and narcotics!

#5  If they want to idiot, you may use your shields to shine the sun light in their eyes until that beautiful wall is built, just like the Israelis.

The key is to not be so into being invaded, threatened, colonized, raped, murdered, and all the other shit your fuckstate has to offer.

Your loose rules about property rights and OUR Sovereign territory...

Socialism works, right?
ugh

#4  The cartels are incenerating hundreds of men, women and children in 55 gallon barrels too close to our borders (Link) and since the story at the link, a location has been confirmed as at a government facility.

Trump now has privy to intelligence that most likely immediately made him think about intervention with this going down too close to our own border population.

#3  So the guy said he'd give the US military the green light to go into Mexico and destroy the cartels. Interesting offer. The real question is would we bother with nation building afterwards or leave them as the semi-failed state they are.

#2  I had better not EVER hear that fucking shit from you again.
Ever.
You want round three?
Fuck with my border - fuck with MY Officers, MY Civilians.

Forbidden.

You have a bad attitude. That goes for many of you other Nations.
This is not about Trump. This is about Correction. This is about making sure the shit your idiot ass does not happen.

So what AM I to do with you now? Brothers?

Calm down.
