El Mencho was the last of the old guard—the final mass-trafficking titan standing alongside El Chapo and El Mayo—now fallen, marking the end of an era in Mexican organized crime. The era, typified by fame and big names splashed across books, TV shows, and international arrest warrants, began around 1990, the time in which El Chapo rose to prominence.
The Mexican government is a shit show, and because of their decision bringing the military into domestic affairs it’s a matter of time before they live under a de facto military dictatorship.
If our administration in the US gets what it wants in bringing the military into domestic affairs here, we will suffer the same fate as the army sees the levers of power, and the weakness of civilian leadership, and subordinates or outright takes power. As sure as the sun rising.
In previous administrations the Cartel had political power and involve the military as they saw fit. If the choice is between two authoritarian groups then I’ll choose the nice lady who locks up coke fiends.
Whatdya mean? Amlo was the same party, Sheinbaum is an extension of him basically, and they’ve long terms I think, 6 years or whatever.
Calderon is rumored to have been put into office with the help of the cia cheating at their elections, idk if that is true but it was widely thought to be true at the time. He started the war against the cartels for the US that wanted it.
Idk about Fox, Vincente Fox, I think he was after, idk if I’m missing one. But he was more right wing. He would’ve been with the US on whatever they wanted more even if looking the other way on some corruption that is endemic.
But amlo was the one that brought the military in I think, or at least very much increased their involvement in policing.
So idk which two groups you refer to, and locking up coke fiends is not helpful at all, locking up violent cartels that kill people is. Coke users are just going to happen, ruining their lives for using drugs solves nothing. And I believe in personal freedom and don’t think it should even be illegal as such perhaps.
Kidnapping 30 people and then beheading them and affixing their heads on cactus bordering the highway however, that is the sort of thing that needs to be stopped.
That’s pretty impressive, actually. And reassuring. Hopefully it stays that way.
It’s a pretty good sign that the Mexican Feds are competent and in charge. If this were a Trump-run op then it would be a shitshow, I’m sure.
