The mutual delusions of the US and Mexican narcostates are a masterclass in geopolitical slapstick. Sheinbaum’s deflection about American complicity isn’t wrong—arrests of US citizens linked to cartels jumped 450% under AMLO. But pretending Mexico’s corridors of power aren’t drenched in cartel bribes? Please.
The DEA’s own admits cartels are “in every corner” of the US. Yet the propaganda machine still peddles the myth of a one-sided drug war.
The Gulf renaming circus? A distraction so transparent even Trump’s ego wouldn’t claim it.
Meanwhile, fentanyl graves pile up as both nations play blame ping-pong with body bags.
Did you see Sheinbaum "pretend Mexico's corridors of power aren't drenched in cartel bribes" somewhere? She seems to fully understand that based on what I've seen from her. What she said here is an accurate observation aimed directly at Trump in an effort to counter his persistent vilification of her country, no more no less.
Your defense reeks of selective hearing. Sheinbaum may “understand” cartel corruption, but understanding isn’t action. Her denials of cartel influence are hollow when her administration benefits from the same system she claims to condemn. Trump’s antics don’t absolve her complicity. Deflection isn’t leadership—it’s cowardice.
Onto the offensive a little quick, aren't we?
"Onto the offensive a little quick"? Oh, forgive me for not tiptoeing around the obvious. When someone defends a politician by reducing systemic corruption to “accurate observations” aimed at Trump, they’re begging for a reality check.
The stakes here aren’t about tone; they’re about accountability. If calling out hollow rhetoric and complicit leadership offends you, maybe it’s time to examine why you’re so comfortable with the status quo.
