PDB Situation Report | February 15th, 2025: Trump's Crackdown Triggers Cartel Retaliation & Global Tariff Fight

And right now, whether it's the US military on the southwest border or CBP and ICE finally being allowed to do their jobs, we're doing the same thing. And so, I highly expect that we will see an increase in violence. However, it won't last very long.

I think you could see the military playing a significant role either in cooperation with Mexico or doing something unilaterally along the lines of special operations.

Yeah. Well, I think we've seen so far in the last four weeks, just like their first term in office, the Trump administration plays hardball when it comes to diplomacy. And it usually takes place publicly, which puts the country you're conducting diplomacy with in a trick bag because you box them in.

And so now what's going to happen here is I can imagine that the Trump administration, and we've already seen it with the threat of tariffs, They're also being put on notice that should anything happen to any of our personnel along either one of our borders, that there's going to be action taken by the United States.

And so, you're starting to see Mexico, they don't want to see that happen, starting to step it up in terms of their military presence. Now, the problem with that is their military has become as corrupted as their law enforcement institutions, so they're not a very reliable tool in Mexico's arsenal any longer since they started being used by President Calderon for law enforcement action.

So, you know, we may have to do this unilaterally. It depends on the situation that takes place. But I'll tell you, it's only going to take one time. And then the new president of Mexico is going to be put on against us.

You know, I hope they think it's time for collaboration, you know, not unlike what we did during Plan Colombia. Now, granted, the FARC in Colombia actually wanted to run the country, right? They were a political organization. They still are, but they were conducting acts of terrorism to destabilize the government of Colombia. And they asked for the assistance of the United States.

We treated them as an insurgency, and we were able to help Colombia regain control of that country. Now, yeah, we're not dealing with an insurgency with the cartels, but they are acting a lot like terrorist organizations. And so we might as well treat them as such. And I think Mexico would be wise to take us up on our offers of assistance to help them combat this problem.
