If you are mexican or have lived in Mexico for a while you may have noticed that the army easily captures certain criminals pretty easily, in fact, capturing El Chapo's son in Culiacan was just impressive. And if you pay close attention you might have noticed that the army could just do that with every single narco in Mexico, even though some of their foot soldiers have military training and have advanced technology, when the army is involved they just don't have a chance. The reason why they don't do it is not because of repercussions, it's simply because the higher ups in the government, police, politicians and everyone that allows them to operate would just stop getting their cut, and it's a big fucking cut, like their money is so diversified in Mexico and the US that there's no way to trace it back to the cartels.

No, they don't do it because it proved to be much worse to do so. When Calderon was president, there were three main cartels. They mostly kept to themselves and the wars that happened between them were largely outside of the public eye. He declared a drug war and killed/arrested most heads of the cartels (Turns out his security service was helping the Sinaloa Cartel). What ended up happening is a multi decade conflict involving hundreds of small cartels that terrorized the population. Cartels like the Templarios, Zetas, Hermandad Michoacana, Jalisco New Generation etc. These cartels didn't care about public opinion, and they literally massacred hundreds of people in bloody turf wars. Stop the American addiction for drugs and the availability of guns and these cartels would die down much like in Colombia.

I do not deny reality, there are certain dangerous places in the country, between 2007 and 2011 there were difficult times (due to the "drug war"), a large part of the problem is the amount of weapons sent from the north to these groups.

Since the American government realized they can use the cartels and their drugs to control its people they have militarized the Sinaloa Cartel and provided support in exchange for loyalty in order to have control over the most powerful Cartel. Once you control the drugs you control the money and minds of regular citizens. The "war on drugs" is all a scam. The CIA worked closely with Pablo Escobar and then the Cali Cartel to bring in billions of pounds of cocaine in the 80s which led to the crack epidemic. Since the Colombians fell they've been regularly arming different sides of mexican cartels until eventually sinaloa settled into power and has contained that power. There are 2 other real leaders to the sinaloa cartel. Chapo and Ovidio are just faces and pawns to satisfy the American and Mexican people.

Not just by being their major consumer but because a lot of global drug money ends up back in America to be laundered, spent and back into an American bank. The fact that cartel members aren't considered terrorist(because they qualify for it) tells you the American government doesn't truly want them eliminated.

This man is very certain of things which are only surface-level true at best and deeply ignorant. God bless him :) Abrazos no balazos means Hugs no gunshots, but that wasn't the strategy AMLO has followed, that was just a tagline to take away the idea that we have to wage a war which has only exacerbated Mexico's problems with mortality amongst civilians and escalation of conflict with armed thugs. Meanwhile, the strategy all along has been on one side the betterment of conditions for those people that would otherwise be recruited by the cartels and on the other side the creation of an armed forces corps called Guardia Nacional with military values, meant to be much harder to corrupt or handle by the cartels, with a large number of members and presence throughout the country, patrolling and hitting the income of the cartels tactically so that there are less direct encounters in the open where civilians are caught in the crossfire and seldom the use of extreme force against the criminals hence also being a de-scalation of deaths in both sides of the law. After much effort things are bearing fruit and, though the mortality rates had a steep growth impulse when he came in, the growth rate was immediately stopped when he came in, meaning deaths were already at an all-time high and remained around there for a time, but started to decrease which hadn't really happened over the previous 18 years; crime rates overall went down also immediately when he took over, big crime (avoidance of taxes and corruption in the high spheres with the most impact on public finances) and small crime also went down, but death rate is the statistic that was the most difficult to bring down yet it is happening despite the regular high-visibility crimes that keep happening but are met head-on by the new armed forces corps.

Like my dad says. Americans love drugs. If Americans want coffee, the cartels will smuggle coffee.

I noticed that. It was pretty substantial

I'm in Mexico for vacation and as we were traveling around we've seen military convoys pass by multiple times. 2 towns we visited had checkpoints just outside the towns. They were heavily armed, mounted machine guns on trucks and assault rifles. Even the regular municipal police are armed with assault rifles roaming around our home town. They definitely seem more active now, compared to vacations I've had in the past here. It probably has to with what's happened in Sinaloa and Juarez, which is very far from where I am. So far though everything has been fine where I'm staying and every place I've traveled to is peaceful and I've had a great time.

It might not have an immediate impact but in the long run it would have a much bigger impact. He also stated that this president is a really bad president but he is considered by many one of if not the best president that mexico has ever had, just look at all the new public projects that are getting done, without raising taxes or put the country into debt. Look at how well they have managed the value of the peso compared to the dollar. Amlo (president of mexico) has one of the highest approval rating in the world, for a reason, they're people who want him to run again for president even though in the mexican constitution you could only serve 1 term of 6 years (not 5 years like he stated in the video).

There’s was a mistake at the very beginning it wasn’t “hugs not drugs” it was abrazos no balazos which translates to “hugs not bullets”.

It's a problem that needs to be handled but it's will more than likely end in essentially a warzone in some cities. The sverage cartel soilder will need to be given an out to essentially caues a reshuffling of each cartels ranks then lock down surveillance on the most active members and begin a swift but methodical take down of as many of the fronts/ production / equipment of every known cartel possibly even a form of restricted imports/exports within most affected areas The force to carry this out would need to be voted beyond a shadow of a doubt. Prioritize places of great investment or end deal businesses

Growing up in San Diego, I’ve heard & seen first hand many times Mexican guys and girls show off how they’re related to a cartel member. These are people in their teens and all the way up into their 40s. Way too many Mexicans support the cartels, there are even bandas writing lyrics which talk about the cartels in a positive light or at least in a way that isn’t negative.

Were they criminals, yes, but they rarely harmed anyone in the local communities. And the drugs they shipped were to the stupid gringos.

Americans should worry more about the junkies in their country who ask for the drugs. As long as there is demand there will by supply.

It’s funny he’s talking about this while the son of el chapo was arrested and 19 cartels were killed and 10 soldiers

That's actually part of when he says that the mexican government think that they can turn sinaloa into the next Zetas. With the Zetas, they hunted the ringleaders, so when one of them was arrested or killed, there was a power vacuum, and the Zetas fought each other for it and that broke the cartel apart.

All we know for sure is Mexico is having one of its best moments as international companies come in droves (New China) and the Mexican peso is one of the most stable currencies in the world right now as of January 2023. Eat that.

Of course China had come to Mexico. With the lax import security, they have made billions selling meth and fentanyl precursor chemicals in Mexico, and I'm sure they hope to replicate that with legitimate business. Mexico just needs to be careful doing business with the Chinese, the Chinese have zero problems with Lying, double crossing or stealing from anyone. Just look at what happened with semiconductors.

Yeah, New China is a good description. Give it time and they'll get all the lithium mining contracts and do the same thing they did in Africa.
