Chaos in Mexico.

U.S.

tourists are currently trapped.

Airlines are shutting down.

Insane videos of car bombs, explosions, fires, gunshots ringing out, people running and screaming in airports.

All of this in retaliation for killing a cartel leader that some say, well, I should say, according to some reports, was at the behest of Donald Trump.

who continued by saying it's only just begun.

25 Mexican National Guard were killed in these attacks, and it is expected to continue.

Right now, we're getting reports that security forces are currently still battling cartel members, and it's popping off across the country.

Now, I would argue it seems the cartel's retaliation is basically we have ended all tourism in Mexico.

I mean, there's no possibility of you flying down to driving to Tijuana, flying down to Puerto Vallarta and having any kind of relaxing day because people are being told shelter in place.

It's kicking off.

Donald Trump and the rest of the Trump admin are not going to back down from this.

So we don't know exactly where this will go.

But some have said this could effectively be some kind of civil war.

I said it, but not for the reason you thought I would.

Now, I don't know if you'd call it a civil war, but the cartels control various territories.

There's different cartels all over Mexico.

And many have argued it's effectively a narco state because the government bends the knee to these cartels anytime they demand it.

We've seen all of these stories about mayors and politicians being killed when they try to stand up.
