I understand that from abroad, the flaming buses become the story, and “getting out of hand” sounds ike a plausible descriptor of the situation. But, from inside Mexico, this is a familiar pattern: when a high‑value target is hit (El Mencho counts as such), the cartel stages spectacular backlash to project power and feed media panic, and federal forces move to contain it. It is a serious incident, yes, but it follows from a demonstration of Mexican state capacity.
Washington is currently pushing hard for more direct operational roles against cartels inside Mexico using fentanyl and cartel violence as leverage. Mexico’s government has explicitly rejected the idea of US troops conducting raids on Mexican soil, citing history and sovereignty. In that context, calling for a “deeper partnership” effectively aligns with US pressure for more intrusive involvement. I cannot see how this would work positively.
Operation Fast and Furious and related gun‑walking schemes are documented episodes in which US agencies knowingly allowed thousands of US‑bought firearms to move into cartel hands in the name of building bigger cases. Those weapons were later found at Mexican crime scenes and at the murder of a US Border Patrol agent. Mexico was kept in the dark. Not to mention the whole Ukraine-Cartel connection that is growing. The US state and its interventions are not neutral or benevolent actors here.
And just think of the so‑called “Fort Bragg cartel” cases: US special forces soldiers and veterans implicated in trafficking drugs, weapons, and tactical knowledge, blurring the line between the US security apparatus and the criminal economies it claims to be fighting. Google it if you don't believe me.
In the standard script, cartels are a quasi‑external chaos undermining a state, and the US is the responsible neighbor trying to help. But what about the following factors?:
US demand and prohibition create the market.
US guns and financial channels arm and sustain cartel operations.
US security experiments—like Fast and Furious—have literally handed weapons to the very actors they now propose to fight.
US military and intelligence personnel themselves have, at times, bled into the very illicit circuits they’re supposed to contain, as stories around Fort Bragg and other bases make clear.

From a Mexican perspective, every new layer of US “partnership” brings more leverage over Mexican territory, institutions, and, ultimately, resources. The United States is not an innocent partner standing outside the problem. It is structurally inside it, through policy, market demand, weapons, finance, and at times through parts of its own military and intelligence apparatus.
The question we should be asking is: How can Mexico strengthen security and justice in ways that are accountable to its own population and disentangled, as far as possible, from the agendas of a neighbor whose past “partnerships” have armed cartels, destabilized communities, and leveraged disorder to increase its own power in the region?

Hola amiga, ¿cómo estás? Tú a mí no me conoces pero yo a ti sí. Te escribo porque por aquí anda tu novio diciendo “el pobre es pobre porque quiere” y que “Estados Unidos cuando invade trae estabilidad económica y democracia”, por respeto a tu relación creo que deberías saberlo, porque como mujer, si me pasara a mí me gustaría que me lo dijeran. Cuídate, él no te merece.

Perdón por mi comentario de extrema radical derecha, pero con esa reforma de las 40 horas mejor nadota, hasta diría que es mejor sin la reforma.

Just listened to Peter Thiel complain about how hard it is to have mega companies in Europe and how everyone wants to sell and go on vacation. I am glad Europe exists as a counterpoint to the rat race that is the US. I absolutely love how life can be slow here, how money isn’t everything. How in much of Europe no one cares if you are a venture capitalist with a gazillion dollars to spend. How people don’t need to work themselves to death to prove a point. How on a Wednesday afternoon you can find people just enjoying the sun and not fretting about deliverables. How trains work. How guns are not everywhere. How road rage doesn’t not immediately lead to someone shooting you in the chest. How cities are walkable. How people are not obsessed with marriage and who pays on dates. How little purity culture there is. How people are not terrified of a naked body in public. Because in the end after you make all that money, after you build that mega company, what is it all for? What is all your success worth if in this brief life you cannot enjoy the things that make life worth living, the little things, the lakes and rivers and oceans, the mountains, the colors of nature, the taste of food, the smiles of humans who are not all judging each other based on which patch of land they own, which piece of equipment they have, and what imaginary figures they have in banks? What is human progress for if not for the enjoyment of this one brief life? And yes Europe has its problems. A lot of them. But it would be a disaster if Europe became like the US.
