Mexico will never tolerate an invasion of its national sovereignty by the United States, President Claudia Sheinbaum warned Thursday after Washington designated Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

“This cannot be an opportunity for the U.S. to invade our sovereignty,” she said. “With Mexico it is collaboration and coordination, never subordination or interventionism, and even less invasion.”

On Wednesday, the Trump administration formally labeled eight cartels as terrorist groups. They include Mexico’s two main drug trafficking organizations, the Jalisco New Generation and Sinaloa cartels.

    And… How do we plan on stopping them? Our militia is controlled by the same narcos and so is the goverment (also the national guard barely has any armament or training).

    The first thing that comes to mind is allowing the narcos to defend themselves while turning a blind eye to it and alerting them whenever it’s possible.

    Being real… We as a country are expendable to the world, the last president made sure to empty the arks and the current one was ordered to keep them empty and dismantle the constitution, if the USA decides to attack we are sitting ducks.
