So what I would say is one of the funny things is, I talked about this in space because the conversation was, if the US attacks Mexico cartels, what is kind of the repercussions in the United States? And I would say, yes. Do we might see some level attacks in the U.S.? Do we might see Border Patrol agents now being more targeted?

Do we see maybe some border communities more targets and stuff like that? Okay, you know what? I think that's within the realm of possibility. But this idea of like this mass insurgency, massive terrorist attacks, like no, that's not how they operate. North of the border, like south of the border, I said territorial, north of the border, transactional. Transactional.

I think they would have to be to survive. And the typical cartel person north of the border is not like this macho, military-age male. It's a businessman. It's a car dealership that does money laundering for the cartels. It's a lawyer.

Yeah. And maybe there are certain aspects of certain guys who might be hit managers. Yeah, of course. But it's not the large number. It's the infrastructure and pace to handle a multi-billion dollar industry, both in the US and Mexico. The financial aspects in the US, a lot of it Yeah, again, are there specific members? Of course. And sometimes can violence cross over? Of course.

But that's not really the image north. It's a lot of businesses that are necessary for them to launder money or to even traffic and do human smuggling or drug trafficking or whatever it may be. And that's really what is north of the border. For the U.S., I wouldn't analyze the threat necessarily north of the border. That will increase.

I think that it would be unwise of me to say there's no increase. It will. But if I'm an American, again, NorthCon planner, my concern isn't necessarily inside the U.S. No, no. My concern is the American citizens living in Mexico. Because now the cartel says, that's fair game. You're targeting our leadership. You're conducting airstrikes inside Mexico. We're going to target you.

We're going to target your American citizens. Because now you've done two things. There's like 1.6 million American citizens living in Mexico. So they start targeting them as a retaliation. And then two, which I think more conversations should we have about this. We did a podcast. We have our own podcast called Bluff Artorias.
