Mexico tariffs halted after Trump convinces neighbor to send 10,000 troops to the border

Mexico has managed to delay President Donald Trump's 25 per cent tariff on goods for at least a month by agreeing to send 10,000 troops to the border.

*****

Everybody north of the border is assuming that the President of Mexico, the troop commanders and the troops themselves aren't corrupt, and that's a mighty big leap of faith.

  1. Donald made Claudia an offer she couldn't refuse and she folded like a cheap suit. Next MAGA marches on to the Northern Border and soon, despite all Fidel's son's barking, it'll be the little faggot's turn in the barrel.

  2. The cartels control the border, that's been said many times. This is something Mexico can do... whether works out or not, it's something that looks positive. And that's a LOT more then we had yesterday.

  3. I'm kinda thinking a lot of those troops will dissappear across the border.

  4. Assuming they're not corrupt?? I was assuming the opposite.

  5. A repeat of my comment a moment ago, different signal; "You can't stop the signal, Mal." As long as people are willing to pay for it, it will get through and that even applies in countries that
    execute drug dealers and drug mules.

  6. My advice to my liberal son on the Trump's tariffs: Don't look at the one chess piece. Look at the whole board.

  7. Assuming the Mexican government at all levels is not corrupt is like assuming peanut butter and jelly don't go together.

    I'd like to know what the deployment plan for the Mexican troops is going to look like, not to mention that 10,000 troops along a 1954 mile long border doesn't sound like a lot of people. That's ~50 troopers per mile or one trooper per 105 feet or 35 yards. Good tactics would preclude placing single soldiers every 35 yards. Sounds like a sieve.

    The cartels have been operating along that border for a very long time and know every inch of it. They know where they can cross undetected and they have already defeated the fence that was erected during Trump's first term in many places and have probably cut a bunch more passages during Bribem's "the border is secure" debacle.

    You have to make bringing drugs and people across prohibitively expensive.

    If it was me, I'd deploy a bunch of sniper teams on both side of the border and just start mowing them down. I'd also dispatch SEAL and DELTA squads inside Mexico and hunt the cartel members down. Everyone in Mexico knows who these people are. They need to be killed and their fentanyl and meth factories destroyed. Let them wake up in the morning and see some of their compadre's hanging from bridges like what they do to their competitors. The only tactic they understand is death. Bring it to them in spades.
