Reply to comment by kensaundm31 in Violence breaks out as Mexico arrests son of ‘El Chapo’ Guzman by Asbew

There's some possibilities he's already in U.S. custody. He got transported to Mexico city and then a U.S. air force plane landed then took off right away and landed back in the U.S.

Probably a show of force. Lots of bloodshed but then like with the dad they'll go back to usual business

theyre threatening to set fire to public infrastructure and have a free for all against civilians and police. about half a year ago the cartels did something similar in tijuana but it got shut down in a week or two because the mexican military can take care of business if theyre allowed to

A few months ago, I was supposed to go to Baja beach fest in Baja but had to cancel last second because the cartels were terrorizing. The area. It’s horrific that this is becoming a common thing.

I wouldn't trust the Mexican military to really do anything to drug cartels, not in any substantial way. From my understanding all the MPs of all the branches got rolled into the National Guard and act as a national police force/Federal police force, and they've been accused of quite a bit of human rights violations. Migrant abuse, forced disappearances, arresting people for just any old reason, extortion and having ties to organized crime. The former defense minister of Mexico, a 4 star Army general, was also arrested in the US for drug trafficking, and that was after the former head of the federal police force was arrested for the same thing. They sound like a state sanctioned drug cartel themselves at this point

Now the Mexican Marines, I can get behind those guys. As far as I know they're far more reputable and on the up and up

This is just hearsay, but the Mexican Navy/Marines are considered less compromised than the army or police are.

What kind of shitstorm would ensue if the cartels shot down a USAF plane?

Well, the last time we took half of Mexico, we turned into like 4 and a half states. So more like welcome states 51 through 55.

The Cartels would be signing their own death warrant. In the early 90's(?) a Cartel tortured to death a DEA agent, they were wiped out not only by US law enforcement but other Cartels as they knew what NOT to do. And were more than willing to show they had nothing to do with the murder.

Now imagine if they even took a shot at say Biden, or any US Military force.

Every other cartel would be pumped. Easy way to take out your rivals.

So what you're saying is that somewhere in Mexico, right now, members of several cartels are thinking hard how to do a false flag operation and get away with it?

Biden is in Mexico City this weekend. That’s likely the reason.

Mexico has already said they’re not extraditing yet.
