Summary
President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming administration are debating the extent of potential U.S. military action against Mexican drug cartels.
Options discussed include targeted airstrikes, cyberattacks, covert operations, and “soft invasions” using special forces. Trump has warned Mexico to curb fentanyl trafficking or face military intervention.
His key appointees, such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, support some form of military action, framing cartels as terrorist threats.
Critics fear this could escalate tensions with Mexico and spark significant international controversy.
Oh don’t think for a second he plans to actually go after the real cartels. He just wants an excuse to kill random Mexicans.
After his orders to kill people we’ll have news reports from actual Mexicans saying the people he order killed weren’t drug dealers. And they’ll be right.
