Mexico’s foreign
minister, Marcelo Ebrard, on Friday thanked U.S. President Donald Trump for
holding off on classifying Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups, a proposal
that Mexico’s government had opposed.
“I’m thankful for
President Donald Trump’s decision to delay the designation of organizations as
terrorists at the request of President Lopez Obrador,” Ebrard said in a tweet.
“Cooperation has been gained and there will be good results.”
Note: Other reports say
that Mexico has agreed to involve U.S.
in a greater role in combating narcos in Mexico.
Why is Mexico reluctant calling the drug cartels which terrorize its nation for more than 10 yrs and no end in sight. We know hugs and flying kisses doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteBecause they know the second that happens its a game changer. Those in power will all fall. And they know it....
DeleteYou're talking like the US is not involved in fighting the cartels. Trust me, they are there and they're doing their best. Is overrated to think that things will change dramatically if they'll designate cartels terrorist organizations.
DeleteThe moment cartels are labeled terrorist is when the U.S will take action and pursue them on their own turf.
DeleteMexico is reluctant because 1: the mexican government doesn't want war on their home land. With war comes colateral damage. With colateral damage comes "blowback". If you think mexico is bad right now, wait until the U.S starts killing innocent people in pursuit of these "terrorists". Mexico will really become destabilized.
Reason number 2: AMLO is not a sell out, and whether you agree with it or not, it is what it is. MEXICO'S NOT FOR SALE! AMLO refuses the help, whether it be monetary or military because the minute he accepts it is the minute he becomes a puppet.
la causa del arrepentimiento es que la ley dice que castigara a todos los que tengan que ver con los terroristas atacandolos desde sus raices y asi los que proveen de armas a los terroristas narcos son ellos mismos , iran contra la asociacion del rifle ?
Deleteno creo
What if both of those presidents had a son or daughter killed by one of those narco terrorist, how would they see those narco terrorist then?
DeleteBecause currently, nobody in Mexico is prosecuted for taking bribes. This would change these individuals to assisting terrorist and would be prosecuted on a much larger international scale.
Delete@4:13pm. Yes it will make a difference. If they are designated terrorist then if they kill a US soldier or agent then we can give the cartels death from above. More resources would be available as well. It wouldnt end the cartels but it would change a lot. More hugh ranking members would get killed by air strikes. Future members would be reluctant to join the ranks of the cartel. I welcome this
DeleteBoth countries are making alot of money both profit from from arms deals and other illicit activities and gov officials on both side make money from the cartels
ReplyDelete511 Ok prove that. Trump isn’t. You must be speaking of the Mexican president that frees drug lords after capture
DeleteHow do you think government agencies and police departments get all their brand new equipment. Blood money.
Delete@7:53 Dont be so ignorant. The mexican government allowed him to be released to avoid civil unrest. You may not agree with it but it's done all the time all over the U.S...A perfect example is when the police stand down on a dangerous car chase to avoid the loss of life. It happens everywhere, aqui y en China wey.
DeleteHugs And Besos is what he wants. Cartels are growing in power everyday he is Hugging them. Or maybe He is the Cartel! Amlo what r u ? President and Drug Dealer? Guess we will find out in five years
Delete753 oh so the us prison systems aren’t profiting off of addicts?
DeleteI can't belive the US backed down! IMO it because it will be well known just how much involvement some US agencies have with the cartels and how the cartels got their power, to the corrupt people in the US who allow mass quantities of drugs to cross the border. Another win for the cartels. And yet another loss for the people of Mexico.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe?
DeleteLook at the report given about Afghanistan's war on terrorism. An unwinnable war like those of many countries. Chaos and violence are the only results for many of these destabalized places.
Along with the formation of militants who in turn wage war upon the US.
Moreover, Let's not forget the so called policy of US negotiating with suspected terrorists which is underway in Afghanistan.
They don’t want the designation of terrorist because of the way the U.S. wrote the laws. It would put Mexico and the corruption in dire straits. The way the law reads, if the U.S. designates and shows proof that a person is part of the terrorist organization or assists the organization, the U.S. can demand the extradition of that person. If the other government refuses, then any and all future financial assistance can be terminated immediately.
ReplyDeleteThis basically means that any pact the Mexican government would have to decide to keep assisting the Capos from arrest and extradition or they could lose billions in financial aid. This could include any government officials that help the terrorist organization.
If they label them as terrorist all the crooked politicos and anyone or anything associated w narcos are gonna have their things taken away.. proof that the government is crooked , and also very embarrassing for Mexico ...
ReplyDeleteTrump did the common people of Mexico no favor withholding the designation, only the elites benefit from the status quo.
ReplyDeleteFor people asking why Mexico doesn't want to be at designated as a terrorist. Because of tourism would be fucked up. Who would visit a county with terrorist? Definitely no Europeans Ect
ReplyDeleteAs if Mexico's tourism was booming.
DeleteThe tourism sector has been destroyed by cartel problems.
In other words he's been told it won't be happening
ReplyDeleteHahaha you are all dumb! even if he does designate them as terrorist it changes nothing! it's not like they could say "oh it's done the US labeled them terrorists its time for a foreign military intervention in Mexico" LMAOOO will never happen México calls the shots on this one whether you believe/like it or not. but imo these mofos are terrorists but a different kind
ReplyDeleteYou ought to actually read what the "terrorist" designation means before calling everyone else dumb.
DeleteHa lol your the fool, glad USA has The Rico Act, sooner or later the lowlife criminals get arrested.
DeleteWell if you want to get technical then these guys are not terrorists because they don't hold a political movement it's just organized crime! there lol like I said even if he does label them that it changes nothing.. watch and learn boy!
DeleteThis this will be temporary. Until the next group of meth head sicarios kill more americans. Until then, live in fear Mexico ;)
ReplyDeleteLmaooo you think these guys are scared??? they openly hold an open front against the Mexican military... Ice agents killed.. CIA officials shot up in bulletproof by narco police.. did you just run across this page?
DeleteTruly doubt that the U.S. will be happy to have terrorists across the road. Too close for comfort and too risky.
DeleteBesides our borders aren't securely protected from what comes now.

Holy mackerel who is controlling ALMO, from saying thank you for not calling the cartels terrorist? ALMO what have the cartels been doing to citizens in all of Mexico, who is going to puppet him to say, there are no homicides in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteThey are narco terrorists. Prime example Sinaloa Cartel, weeks ago had terrorized it's its own town, when one of the chapitos was going to be arrested, they shot at people, held military families, barracaded streets,
DeleteThey just found the biggest Lithium reserves in the world in Sonora , looks like Mexico might get some good old Merricaaann freedom soon from these "terrorists "
ReplyDelete7:51 no "Merricaaann" freedom or people will control natural resources, especially with AMLO🤔
DeleteKey words in the negotiations TEMPORARILY
ReplyDeleteDoes this strike ANYONE ELSE as odd?
ReplyDeleteHighly weird?
It’s almost as if AMLO is held hostage by the cartels.
I vote Mexico Terrorist Cartel
ReplyDeleteWe all know what they truly are. But political interests prevent this from happening.
DeleteLabeling Cartels Terrorists (which they are), is on temporary hold, meaning it can happen change anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteSo corruption goes to the heart of the Mexican govt.
ReplyDeleteExpect Mexico to pay for the wall, in exchange for not calling cartels and Narco-polititians terrorists.
ReplyDeleteQueso
They have no money for that menso
DeleteWho needs a wall distraction! When there are tunnels to go undetected.
DeleteIf the US can go into Pakistan without notifying their government or military and KILL OBL. Imagine what the US can or would do right next dlor if they labeled the Cartels as terrorist organizations...!?!?
