Why are you blaming Mexico for American failures? It's always the same for you guys. The reason that we think you're racists is that, whenever you get angry at something, you lash out at brown people and blame them for the problems.I don't have to feel anything about it because it won't ever happen. You are hung up on the premise that fair matters. Fuck fair. We have begged and pleaded for mexico to stop the fentanyl but they either can't or won't. In either case the result is the same. So if they can't or won't then we can either accept 70,000 deaths a year, which could be someone in your family, or we can do something about it. After 4 years of jill doing nothing but giving lip service trump campaigned on doing something and he is going to do something. You can sit on your false moral high ground and publicly trash him for not following "normal" protocol while secretly thanking him after the flow gets cut and cartels are cripled by dead cartel heads. And we aren't attacking an ally. We are attacking a terrorist organization that is killing Americans. You don't have a problem with dropping a drone strike on an isis leader or hamas leader. No difference. Protecting Americans from fentanyl is no different than protecting Americans from suicide bombers in a mall.
Here's the reality:
1. The **primary** responsibility for curtailing heroin use in the US belongs to the US. Mexico's government doesn't actually have any responsibility to help us at all.
2. For 50 years, America has completely failed. We have tried military solutions before. We fucking bombed and sprayed herbicide all over South America. It did not stop the drugs. We have tried law enforcement solutions. They have also been ineffective.
3. Mexico is and long has been working with the US on the problem. But it is manifestly NOT their fault that so many Americans turn to opiate addiction. America and Americans did that. How about you focus your accountability on the people WITHIN THIS COUNTRY who are responsible. That means identifying failed policies and changing them, and replacing the leadership. But you guys don't want to do that, because the best ways to treat addiction involve scientific medicine.
4. At a minimum, the US needs to be imprisoning our own homegrown drug dealers before bombing other countries. And Trump surely will -- wait, what's that? He pardoned one of the most prolific drug traffickers in history, who also tried to have five people murdered? Ross Ulbricht? That guy was pardoned?
Oh.
5. "Protecting Americans from fentanyl is no different than protecting Americans from suicide bombers in a mall" might be the stupidest of all the incredibly stupid things posted on this board. What went through your mind as you typed that? Were you just blinded by rage?
