The Border Crisis Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg. In Mexico, A Cartel Crisis LoomsAmid record numbers of illegal border-crossers, a larger crisis looms in Mexico with dire implications for the United States. That crisis, put simply, is the gradual takeover of the Mexican state by cartels. I hesitate to call them “drug cartels,” because what these criminal organizations do goes far beyond the manufacture and trafficking of narcotics. In addition to drugs, Mexican cartels are now involved in industrial agriculture, port operations, migrant smuggling, human trafficking, and even the control and distribution of water in drought-stricken parts of the country. Although the border crisis is a direct result of Biden’s policies, the cartels are exploiting those policies for profit. One estimate from Homeland Security Investigations puts the figure at $13 billion annually, up from just $500 million in 2018. That is to say, illegal immigration has been industrialized by these cartels and their smuggling networks. It is not too much to say they have turned the southwest border into a vast black market, not just for deadly drugs such as fentanyl, but also for illegal immigration. The report, whose author has remained anonymous for safety reasons, chronicles the recent history of deep collusion between the Mexican state and the country’s most powerful drug cartels: “The unfortunate reality is that criminal cartels have burrowed their way into the government — and vice versa. Well-meaning public servants, of whom Mexico has many, are powerless against a nexus of senior officeholders, societal elites, and criminal cartels.” Thanks to a new law pushed by López Obrador’s administration aimed at curbing the operations of foreign agents (clearly aimed at the DEA), decades of U.S.-Mexico bilateral cooperation has been effectively ended. The qualitative difference since 2018 has been the near-open role of the current Mexican president in allowing, and perhaps even participating in, that cooperation.” Indeed, by some estimates cartels now control up to 40 percent of Mexican territory.It means the corruption of Mexican officialdom will gradually spread to American officialdom, just as the operations of Mexican cartels have spread to every corner of the United States. What to do about all this? The first step is for the United States to stop treating Mexico like a partner or a peer with whom we can work together to address common challenges. Our entire posture has to shift. We have to begin treating Mexico less like an ally and more like a hostile neighbor. More here: https://thefederalist.com/2022/09/2...iceberg-in-mexico-a-cartel-crisis-looms/While a battle with the ChiComs is brewing, a battle with Mexico should be as well. The ChiComs have paid-off many of our politicians, how many have been paid-off by the Cartels? My bet is a lot. Meanwhile, The Swamp insists we keep sending BILLIONS more to Ukraine to "fight for Democracy". Pushing for nuclear war in the process.

I do not know what the exalted campfire geopolitical soothsayers think about Peter Ziehan, but as invited speaker to Army War College and Maneuver Center of Excellence, he told the officers that their next shooting war will be with the cartel controlled Mexican Government. The vacuum created by the removal of el Chapo was filled by crazies who only see drug smuggling as a small part of their power. Ziehan went on to list the similarities between the disaster we called Afghanistan, and the expansion of the Mex cartels power and reach across our border. We shall see in due time if he called it correctly. He pretty well nailed the China economic crisis a year ahead of time. He nailed Putin's game plan 2 years ahead of time.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
