2 The Mexican military is basically a faction of one of the cartels.
Someone probably didn't get paid off and went rogue. This is bad business for everyone.

3 For a country that is entangled with 38% of American GDP and trade, they sure act like they don't need anyone.

They need us far more than we need them and they need to get their shit together before we either seal off the border and declare NAFTA dead or vaporize their asses.

4 So it's OK for the cartels to smuggle fentanyl, meth and cocaine into the United States but when they disrupt a money making mining operation it's not OK. Yeah. We get it.

7 ^ Bzzzzzt. Wrong. The Mexican Military is a tool of the Political class, whose fealty is bought by various cartels: Plomo o Plata. You should read Chris Covert's books (available on the sidebar) before you pop off, rookie. I live So. Cal. and have a bit of lifetime experience with the border
