I don't think it has to be a third time.

There's lots of ways to help them at a covert level to deliver overmatch capability for the Mexican state, whether they want it or not, without having to resort to massive US military conventional footprint, which would have all kinds of secondary pushback as well.

I don't think that all the Mexican kids in the streets protesting against their super corrupt president—

We would want to see 10,000 or 50,000 American soldiers inside Mexico either.

Yes, I think so.

Look, Petro was elected in Colombia because of a lot of narco money from Venezuela that came across the border.

Petro is a bad guy.

He is formerly from M-19, which is effectively the Colombian Communist Party.

They used to call him the ****.

Sorry, because he used to defecate on the hostages in the jungle camps when they were being held in holes.

He's a bad guy.

He has a major cocaine addiction, has a tranny boyfriend.

He's just a deviant in all ways.

Covert action is the way to kind of mow the weeds and to overmatch these narcos and prevent them from literally threatening the future existence, not just success of those states.

whether they had to have F-15s before, now they want F-35s to feel relevant.

The fact is they've never fully utilized any of the military equipment that they've actually bought, but it's like they have to buy the nicest Ferrari or Lamborghini or whatever.

So yes, they do love to buy high-dollar stuff because they've mistaken buying stuff with buying capability, and they're ignoring the fact that it takes hardware, not just hardware,

to make a great military, something that our Department of War has gotten back to, to focus on lethality and merit as the basic underpinnings of what makes a successful military.

The fact is, because of Texas and because of fracking, America is energy independent, and so we are not buying

a lot of hydrocarbons anymore from the Middle East.
