And so these guys were coming in

knowing that they had to take on a very desperate cartel head on and try to stop some extreme level of violence with very little experience.

They were very young.

And some of them looked so nervous and even fearful to be there.

And if there is that level of fear, then when you ask me, are these guys going to

go in and take them head on to a point where the cartels will completely amp up and you have a hundred drone storms going in there and just taking out Mexican forces.

No, because I don't think the Mexican forces would get to that level.

I mean, hugs not bullets was a policy for so long that now to switch that up and go have the pendulum swing to the exact opposite where it's like, no, we are going to take them on.

I don't think the people who are in the forces, I don't wanna undermine it.

And I don't mean it like this, but I don't think the training and the morale is even there to be like, I'm going in to die for this.

We're taking these guys out.

So no.

Mexican cartels won't likely, unless US forces come into Mexico, get to a level where they believe they have to completely amp up operations where it's like Ukraine, Russia style, simply due to the fact that Mexican forces aren't going to push them to that level.

100%.

steps in.

Because they won't have a need to.

But are they proactively stocking up?

100%, yes, and I've been told about this from the very people in charge of ensuring that they are armed and—

First and foremost, there are safe houses throughout all of Mexico where they're stocking up on this and particularly, surprisingly enough, in a lot of tourist destinations because it's easy access.
