Mexico invaded the U.S. with deadly weapons FIRST - Now it's time for OFFENSIVE military operations into Mexico
By ljdevon // 2025-08-12
 
As deadly fentanyl continues to flood U.S. borders, killing more than 100,000 Americans annually, it's time to confront a harsh reality: The current approach is simply not working. Mexico, with its crippled government and powerful cartels, has proven incapable of decisively stopping this insidious tide. Instead of relying on fruitless diplomatic gestures and weak-kneed cooperation, the United States must now take the offensive, striking at the very core of the problem before it tears the country apart. The only way to stop the flow of fentanyl is to cut the head off the snake, and that will require an unthinkable military action in Mexico — a move that could redefine the geopolitical balance of power in the Americas. Key points:
  • Trump's directive authorizes U.S. military operations directly against specified Mexican drug cartels.
  • Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has firmly rejected any U.S. military presence on her soil.
  • The crisis was exacerbated by the Biden regime's open-border policies.
  • Trump's strategy aims to disrupt financial and structural elements of the cartels.
  • Mexican cooperation is critical but fragile, with potential withdrawal if U.S. military action crosses certain boundaries.
  • Claudia Sheinbaum's opinion doesn't really matter, regarding military intervention into Mexico, considering that Mexico has facilitated deadly weapons into US territory for years.

The destructive tide: Fentanyl's silent invasion

The fentanyl crisis is not just a criminal issue; it’s an existential threat to the United States. Consider the mounting toll: over 100,000 American lives lost every year, families torn apart and communities devastated. The cartels behind this devastation are not your average street gangs — they are highly organized, ruthless and technologically advanced. They do not operate under the same laws that govern most of the world. Their reach extends beyond drug trafficking, as they engage in human trafficking and other crimes that threaten national security. Historically, U.S. responses to drug trafficking have been largely reactive, focusing on border patrols and interdictions. However, these efforts have been insufficient against the prolific organizations that crisscross borders with ease. The situation has only worsened under the Biden administration's globalist, open-border policies, which have inadvertently opened the floodgates for cartels. This has turned countless American cities into battlegrounds, where parents struggle to keep their children safe from the lethal grip of addiction. The cartels, however, are not just powerful — many are designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs), fully capable of undermining state institutions and functioning as parallel governments. Their reach extends far beyond the southern border. As a result, the cartels pose a national security risk akin to foreign aggression. And just like any military threat, they demand a response that is not bound by traditional legal or diplomatic constraints.

A new approach: Cutting the head off the snake

Trump's directive to the Department of Defense (DoD) signals a fundamental shift in strategy, aiming to break the stranglehold of these cartels by directly targeting their financial and operational centers. This is no longer about border security — it's about confronting the true heart of the threat. The U.S. will focus on disrupting the flow of precursor chemicals from China, targeting the financial hubs that fuel the cartels, and dismantling their command structures. Yet, this strategy faces significant challenges. Chief among them is the cooperation of the Mexican government, which holds the keys to this endeavor. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has made it clear that she will not allow U.S. military actions on Mexican soil, a stance supported by centuries of U.S. interventions in Latin America. This raises a critical question: Can the United States afford to let the situation continue unchecked, or is it time to take decisive action, even if it risks alienating a key ally? Or is Mexico an ally at all, having facilitated deadly weapons into the US for years? The parallels between this crisis and the war on terror are unsettling. Just as terrorists exploited safe havens to launch attacks, cartels operate with virtual impunity in territories where they wield more power than legitimate governments. This is not a problem that can be solved with border walls alone. It demands a comprehensive, coordinated effort, one that includes securing supply chains, disrupting financial networks, and dismantling the cartels' operational bases. The time for partial measures has passed. Mexico, long weary of U.S. military action on its soil, stands at a crossroads. On one side, there is the temptation to turn a blind eye, hoping that the problem will somehow resolve itself. On the other, there is the recognition that the cartels are too powerful to be contained without decisive action. The stakes are higher than ever: Failure to act could result in the further erosion of national sovereignty and continue the brutal cycle of violence that has plagued both sides of the border.
