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.

    you’re absolutely correct. the cartel inflicts terror into their victims.

    the US military industrial complex thrives on terror and killing.

    my money is on the US military to outlast the cartels and they would be hit weeks before they’re ready.

    they’re used to dealing with feds and agents.

    soldiers aren’t going to arrest you. they’re deployed to kill you.
