A lot of these places have water access.

It goes under the radar.

So, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco,

These are cities that the cartel is using to their advantage to stock up, and because they already have a lot of operations going on there, and because they know that those areas won't be hit as a war zone because they're tourist hotspots.

So Mexico will never want to scare away the tourism sector.

So if they have a safe house in a place like Puerto Vallarta, which is also the CJNG stronghold,

filled with arms, filled with tech, drones, 3D printers, you name it, they can get there, they can get the access, they can get someone to bring it out to them, and it won't be a problem.

Now, in terms of the places that would be hit, like, say, U.S.

operators stepped into Mexico, again, it won't be those particular regions.

It will be Sinaloa, it will be Culiacan, it will be Michoacan, it will be Guerrero, it will be Tamaulipas,

areas where Veracruz, and there's a port in Veracruz.

I agree.

And I think that the cartels certainly know that.

They're bracing for it.

A lot of them are worried that that's going to happen if it hasn't already.

There's some level of American intervention in Mexico.

I mean, we've seen it with the CIA planes that are flying.

They obviously have Mexican permission to do that, but there's CIA planes flying across the northern Mexican states.

The U.S.

is certainly gathering intel and they're working bilaterally with Mexico.
