Like you're you're saying that the cartels could they do?

I mean, the cartel are the ones that are actually causing the havoc.

The cartel are the ones that are blowing things up.

The cartel are the ones that are killing people.

75 people, 74 people in total have been killed in the operation in its aftermath.

25 security forces of the National Guard have been killed.

This is not, like, you don't appease the bad guys.

Like, you don't just sit there and say, oh, we can't put these guys in jail or go after these guys because they'll wreak havoc.

That's how you end up with this situation.

You end up with...

with the government not controlling parts of the country because you're appeasing them.

You're saying we can't go after them because they'll attack back or they'll cause havoc.

Yeah.

The cartel can wreak havoc.

They can cause unrest and stuff.

But the U.S.

has spent 20 years building an apparatus, the past 25 years, building an apparatus to find people.

Anywhere in the world.

We found Osama bin Laden hiding out in in Pakistan where the country was doing everything they could to help.

There's no one in Mexico that can hide from the United States military apparatus.
