Greetings!
With Trump going after the cartels, I am reminded that thr cartel has been threatening American police officers and shooting at Border Patrol agents.
Prior to WWI, Pancho Villa crossed the border into New Mexico and murdered a bunch of people. With so many of them in the country already, what do we think the chances of someone doing something similar, and what do we do to defend against it? Does anyone have any ideas?
Not New Mexico or West Texas as some disgruntled New Mexicans would put it but I think you mean Texas, son.
Remember the Alamo!
These colors don’t run
Biden’s no longer at the helm. We’re no longer on a drunken party boat, this is a battlegroup and the Commander In Chief knows exactly what to do. Seal Team 6 and all those who know how to get the job done I’d bet are probably already on call. The bombs are loaded and the fighters are ready to launch. The guided middle cruisers are ready to engage. If they call him out, grab a 6 pack and enjoy the game/show. Every so often listen for the sound of sirens, it’s another lib going to the hospital with a heart attack.
New Mexico is safe, @Don102 is there! 
I suspect this is probably true. But the cartels may not just lay down and die at the first shot. I suspect at least some of their members will likely be smart enough to avoid getting caught in direct confrontations.
The cartels have enough money and enough connections with criminal gangs in the U.S. to potentially cause a fair amount of trouble on this side of the border in retaliation. Our infrastructure is incredibly vulnerable. It would be impossible to protect it and all of us from multiple small scale retaliatory attacks.
It would be great to see the U.S. and Mexican government work together to get rid of the cartels. But with all the complications involved it could very well turn into an endless game of wack a mole.
I can’t say I know what will happen but I can say I know with 100% certainty, I refuse to walk the streets afraid of the cartels or their minions. They can threaten, they can even attack but as I’ve before said on this very board, they won’t like the way it turns out.
I don’t know… I still like my A-10/ AH-64 patrol-free fire zone idea.
‘Start the Music!’ BOOM!
I wish I was THAT COOL!
Standby……
But, I’m more like this!
BOY! Do you have a dark mind. But I am glad I do not live on the Mexican border! I think that thought would make me think about moving!!
IF you are talking to me? and the ‘Clear and Present Danger’ vid.
Come down to Albuquerque, New Mexico
I’ll give you a Private Tour, Loan you a sidearm and long gun
We’ll see the sights and sounds of a Main City dying.
Boarded up Businesses, Junkies sleeping out in the open on the sidewalks.
Abandoned cars, overflowing ‘Migrant hotels’ entire streets Homeless Tent camps.
THAT is what the Sinaloa Cartel has done to a once beautiful and Prosperous city/State.
While the ‘Fat Cats’ in the Capitol city sit behind high walls and 24/7 Security ma’am.
Sec Def. Hegseth and Tom Homan toured the 'Border yesterday, fresh Troopers arrived
ready to defend the Border. A NEW Sherriff is in town and he is pissed!.
If these guy’s are smart you should see ‘Real time’ Vid’s like the above clip. Mansions
Obliterated, Convoys of Cartel SOLDIERS wiped off the face of the Earth. The Cartels
have a better equipped ARMY than the Mexican Police/Army. Most are on the take or scared sh1tless. NOTHING WILL GET DONE DOWN HERE TILL WE START THE MUSIC!
Enjoy your Caviar and Champagne Cartels for soon you will be dining in HELL!.
I’ve been in the sh!t ma’am, too many times and for this to happen here in the
Good Old US of A makes me sick!
Albuquerque is starting to resemble Somalia.

I miss Albuquerque. The NM Museum of Natural History is one of the better museums I’ve been to, especially for the size, and I have many fond memories from the city.
I am avoiding it now, and that makes me both sad and mad.
Same here Bruh, I stopped being a Level3 Guard here because I wasn’t ALLOWED to STOP A CRIME IN PROGRESS. The ‘Powers that be’ haven’t a clue what they’ve done to us.
(and they don’t care). If it wasn’t on the Airbase I refused the posts. With all the breaches
in the wire now I bet they’re busy as heck.
Very dangerous here now
Old Town (and the Museum is dying
The Balloon Fiesta and State Fair is Lethal now
Route 66 through town (Central Ave. is a War Zone now
No Bueno man.
Not sure about a dark mind….realistic mind yes. My dad was with. B-25 squadron in WWII. When you hit a target you had to expect collateral damage. Look at the pictures of Berlin, Tokyo, and Hiroshima to make a point. More recently you’ve got Gaza, Ukraine and more. That’s the cost of conflict. The option is you become someone else’s slave, or worse. Someone may have sympathy for the innocent, so do I. But they become as guilty as the offenders over time for not having put a stop to it when they could. They saw what was going on and failed to get the right people into office to put a stop to it. At that point my sympathy level drops to near zero.
Way too much money/corruption on the Mexico side for that to happen.
Hell I thought you were cooler than that
We’ve been here before. …
The cartels are organized gangs of criminals that exist to serve the demand for illegal drugs in the US, just as organized crime arose during Prohibition to supply illegal alcohol. Bans on things like drugs or alcohol has the economic effect of inflating the prices that enrich those who supply the illegal drugs. Prohibition gave us the NFA and the ATF as government vowed to combat organized crime rather than figure out how to encourage Americans to reduce their consumption of illegal alcohol.
The failed war on drugs, just like the war on alcohol has not reduced US demand. Putting tanks or a Seal team or two or three or 10,000 soldiers on the border won’t have any effect on the demand for drugs. If anything, militarizing the border will increase the price of drugs and enrich the cartels that meet this illegal demand by Americans,
