And the effect is that cartel responds with a show of force.
So I think the Mexican government also knew that and kind of considering the timing of all this around the World Cup, as silly and as frivolous as it might sound, I think it is a consideration.
No, not at all.
And there are actually pretty credible reports from Mexican reporters who cover organized crime in the cartels in 2025 that Mexican officials actually had requested with their U.S.
partners that maybe El Mencho be left alone until after the 2026 World Cup to avoid a scene like this.
These scenes really recall something that happened in 2019 in Culiacán, which is in Sinaloa, where the Sinaloa cartel operates.
The Culiacanazo, it's called kind of the battle for Culiacan, that city, when the Mexican authorities tried to capture El Chapo, the famous cartel leader's son.
But the response was quite similar to what we're seeing now.
And Mexican officials seem to want to avoid those scenes precisely for the reason you're mentioning.
The reputation, the people's image of Mexico becomes cars on fire in the street and pharmacies and supermarkets being burned to the ground.
We don't really know how long this will last.
The reports today are that it is a kind of tense calm, but you can't wait for a football match for this to be carried out, especially one that's still months and months away.

Kuka?
OK, so Michael O'Leary says he doesn't want to use Starlink, which is an internet system.
On the grounds that it would be too costly because it would require his planes to be fitted with external antennas, which he says would cause aerodynamic drag on the planes, increase his fuel bills to a level that would not be economically viable.
And do we have any numbers with that?
He says it would entail about a 2% increase in drag and would cost about a euro per passenger, which would ultimately increase his fuel bill by about 250 million euros a year.
