There are Mexican nationals fighting for their foreign services, their foreign brigades in the Ukraine.
And some of them have gone into that route, drone operators.
And some of them are coming back.
And you started seeing this sudden sophistication.
It used to be bomblets dropped from these commercial drones and the explosives in them were probably mining level explosives.
You start seeing these bomblets made and they were more reminiscent of Colombian explosives or IRA era explosives.
And now you're seeing these coordinated drone attacks on military forces in Mexico.
I think they recently got some high-level army official.
They got him with a drone.
They didn't kill him, but they almost killed him.
So we started seeing these drones now being operated as scouts.
So you can't get close to them because the drones are in the sky.
So now you're seeing drone cartels fighting against other cartel drones, so now we're seeing cartel guys with these futuristic drone, anti-drone guns in the field.
I've seen those things, yeah.
They look like space guns, but on the hands of a cartel guy wearing sandals, which is ... What the fuck's going on with these people?
So you start seeing all this augmentation of capabilities.
This single cartel now has all of this history behind it, all of these lessons behind it, all this training behind it, all this technology, and it is poised to punch a hole right through its territory and go up north into the United States.
There are no segments of the border wall currently that are actually controlled or a city that is controlled by the new generation cartel that is on the border.
But there are places that are starting to maybe look like they're going that way.
