So what happened was that they realized that you're either gonna do this and help us or the US is gonna do it alone and the political fallout will be horrible for you if the US takes unilateral military action in their country.

And they decided to play ball and to actually roll the dice and go for it and that's what they've done.

All over.

Well, I think that what we have to look at is we have to go back historically to what happened with other cartels, right?

Even though the other cartels did not have the level of power and influence that El Mencho had.

But what happens is you have like the Gulf cartel who operates south of Texas along the Gulf of America, I call it.

Some people say Gulf of Mexico still.

They're antiquated, but I say Gulf of America.

That cartel had centralized power of Mexico's central government.

They had state power, all types of power.

We began to decapitate them and decapitate them every time a leader popped his head up.

And what you're left with is 10 to 15 glorified gangbanger units who really have no, they no longer have central power over the central government of Mexico.

They no longer really even have power over the state that they live in, Tamaulipas in Mexico.

They just have county power and little, they're glorified gangs.

And they still call themselves the Gulf Cartel.

But they're so weakened at this point that that they really don't have the type of power they've had historically.

And that's what's probably going to happen here.

There's going to be a lot of an uptick in violence, which liberals will blame on Trump, even though they're not crediting him with taking out the guy.

Right.

That's what I meant by mental gymnastics.
