  • Nah, this is what will happen.

    1. Trump will talk about sending the military to Mexico
    2. Sheinbaum will talk about sending the military to fight the “invasion”
    3. They’ll both realize a war between the two countries would mean that they’ll no longer get those sweet cartel bribes
    4. Literally nothing will happen
    5. Trump will brag about how he subdued Mexico
    6. Sheinbaum will brag about how she resisted an American invasion
    7. People from both sides will eat it up











  • Sorry to break it to you, but cartels are never gonna die off. They’re not something that’s currently happening in Mexico, they’re the backbone of the Mexican economy and have been since the revolution war a hundred years ago.

    More context: Cartels, although they weren’t called that back then, are how the revolution war was financed. They basically rolled up into small towns and took everything that wasn’t nailed down —including women— under the pretext that they needed it to “fight for freedom”. When the revolution ended and they had no excuse to ransack villages anymore, they pivoted onto drugs. If drugs are legalized, they’re just gonna pivot to something else. Right now, there’s cartels who barely sell drugs and make most of their money through kidnappings and extortion.

    They also used actual military tactics to fight the Emus, like mapping their routes and setting up ambushes. In one of these, they managed to get close to a flock of about a thousand emus and attacked them with machine guns only allowing the escape of… lemme check… about a thousand emus.
