| Why should the US be fighting Mexican gangs? Mexico should send their own army to fight the criminal gangs. If we want to send our army after gangs we have plenty of them right here in the US. We could start with the ones in our Sheriff's Departments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangs_in_the_Los_Angeles_Count... |

| Why should the US fight Mexican cartels? They have their own armies and plenty of ammo. |

| ▲ | kQq9oHeAz6wLLS an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | If you think the outputs of Mexican cartels stay in Mexico, you're severely underinformed. Do you know how many civilian deaths (to say nothing of human trafficking and more) are directly due to Mexican cartels? The US absolutely has an interest in the destruction of Mexican cartels. | | |
| ▲ | hereme888 an hour ago | parent [-] | | I'm not uninformed about cartel drug manufacturing and resulting American deaths. That's why we had to seal the border, and we need to keep enforcing it. But to send troops into a country that denies their entry is another thing. I don't mind bombing the cartels from a distance. I'd rather the U.S. continues to pursue diplomatic options vs. war. | | |

| ▲ | hereme888 37 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I'm not going down those rabbit holes. If a previous CIA was or was not responsible for that, that's that. Now, we're here. |
