Trump says he would be 'OK' launching strikes in Mexico to fight drug smuggling

[Guno צְבִי]

Donald Trump opened the door Monday to launching U.S. strikes in Mexico, a move that would be a dramatic escalation of his administration’s fight against drug cartels.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump answered a question about potentially striking Mexico or sending American troops or other personnel into the country by saying it would be “OK with me."

“Would I launch strikes in Mexico to stop drugs? OK with me, whatever we have to do to stop drugs. Mexico is — look, I looked at Mexico City over the weekend. There’s some big problems over there,” Trump said after he was asked whether he was considering such action.

The President who "ends" wars has threatened to start more than Obama and Biden combined. LOL

This is all driven by Trump's fear of the Epstein Files.

He really is crazy if he still thinks he has a chance at it.

America is the #1 global driver of lawlessness and terrorism.....currently running a Color Revolution in Mexico.

I'm tired of Mexico allowing the Cartels to poison Americans. It's time to put a permanent stop to it.

It's a meaningless award. Obama got it for doing nothing.

Venezuela, Mexico .... Dump will start WWIII to avoid the fall out of the Epstein files. Look over here, America! Don't pay attention to how I'm orchestrating our courts and justice system to allow theft of the mid-term elections.

False.

Absolutely. Its time to hunt down and obliterate the Cartels,....they are nothing more than terrorists. Blow them to bits wherever they exist!

So end War on Drugs.

That won't work. End War on Drugs.

Trump is into ending wars. I suspect he will end this one too.

Seems to be working on over the sea smuggling coming out of Venezuela

More likely he's pushing Mexico to clean up its act and stop ignoring the drug corridor.

As long as there's War on Drugs the supply and demand will never end. We saw that during the Prohibition.

Or stop ignoring the demand and do something about it.

 

[Damocles]

Well, he's certainly doing something. You and I may think it is the wrong thing, but he's doing something.

In the long run? I doubt it. There are multiple routes.

True. He's trying.
