It's pretty difficult to see war as a credible means of reducing kidnappings or general ill will and bad intent towards americans. That's not been our recent experience.
The magats are stuck in a tight space. They have to find a thematically appropriate way to continue signaling their militarism. One that isn't russia, because that would be bidenism and thus pro china. Try beating your head against a tree until it makes perfect sense.
I am waiting to see the reaction to the four Americans who were kidnapped upon entering Mexico recently. Two turned up dead and other two were being held. One of the four was going to have plastic surgery. Are the cartels trying to keep Americans from having butt lifts now? I suppose diversifying from drug sales is a wise investment move.
The spin on this one should be amazing.
