A brief reminder to everyone:
The “drug cartels” are terrorist organizations controlled and in the service of US imperialism. The “war on drugs” is an instrument of imperialist geopolitical power that traps people between the violence of drug trafficking and US military intervention. The drug cartels were created by them just like ISIS and Boko Haram.
The US uses these cartels to further their imperialist agendas in the region and the cartels help the imperialists to distract people from the exploitation that they are doing in the region. If you want to learn more, give this book a read:
Thank you! I watched some (surprisingly) Amazon docuseries on this but I’ve wanted to read an actual book on the subject so thank you for the recommendation!
Boko Haram was created by the US? This is the first I’m hearing this
If you need evidence in case this appears in a conversation in your daily life, US Congressman Scott Perry mentions this during the inaugural hearing of the Subcommittee on DOGE.
Some Nigerian media even shared this:
Former foreign affairs minister, Prof Bolaji Akinyemi, lent credence to the military chief’s assertions during a February 17 interview on Arise TV.
Al shabab too, I’m guessing.

Sadly no. Using the excuse of “targetting” the Drug Cartels, the US wants to intervene even more brutally as the past century to loot our resources and displace our indigenous population.
I think/hope that was sarcasm/irony. Anyone with a single functional brain synapse knows when the USA says “liberation,” they mean “destabilization.”
it was indeed, but you never know

Sadly, the rightoids in my country Mexico will actually welcome an invasion from the US and think that we are getting “liberated”. You will even get an ex president lamenting the lack of intervention in the country.
Also, not too long ago, there was a post asking what’s wrong with opposing the cartels so I thought it will be better to leave that clarification just in case is ever needed. If my speculation turns real, my country and other Latam countries as well will face an increasing amount of dehumanizing propaganda in favor of intervention and in favor of ICE actions.
Calderón is an imperialist puppet, and knowingly willingly or not, the author of the article, too. The post is general USian ignorance, cultivated by the US educational/propaganda complex.
You’re absolutely right to make sure, and Poe’s law is ever in effect. Please accept my apologies, I wasn’t attacking you or your post, it was more hope than dismissal on my part, dear friend.

It’s okay! There is nothing to apologize for.
Thank you!
If the US gave a shit about the cartels they wouldn’t be flooding them with weapons. The Cartels aren’t using Latam made weapons in their destabilization, their using American ones. Simply turning off the arms tap and allowing countries to solve the problems for themselves would do infinitely more than any kind of intervention.
