Also the legend colors don't match the colors used in the map
Is this map part of American propaganda to bomb mexico next?
Nah, it still says "Gulf of Mexico". Besides, the current administration is fine with cartels unless they're run by democrats. Then it's a shithole and we need to send in the forces and forcefully spread all that freedom and dispense some indiscriminate justice they didn't ask for.
propaganda and consent manufacturing can be made on outdated maps. Now that the US government is on a warpath against the drug cartels every foreign country can pay for the fact that the american people does a lot of drugs.
según varios estudios, dan empleo al menos a 175.000 personas, convirtiendo a los cárteles mexicanos en el quinto mayor empleador del país
Economists hate this one trick to reduce unemployment
Do you prefer the Jalisco Original Series or the New generation?
Original, less cannibalism. Prefiero los originales, menos comiendo del gente. Demasiado picante.
Aaiiiii Jalisco no te rajes,
Me sale del alma
cantar con calor!!!!
that's about so I know any Jalisco courtesy of the tres Caballeros
Rugged mountanious areas are naturally resistant to state control. Afghanistan has the same issue.
It's more expensive, slower and more difficult to extended and maintain domination over a patchwork of mountain valleys and passes than over lowlands.
Sad Welsh noises
Is there a place in Mexico that cartels haven't claimed for some reason?
according to the map, apparently: "baja intensidad de cárteles" means (according to my rusty Spanish) "low intensity of cartels"
Interesting. Wonder why. I don't know much about Mexico's different regions, so I should probably do that.
In the past, when it was almost completely about drugs, their activities were concentrated in two types of area:
- transit corridors (coasts, ports and US border)
- growing areas (e.g. poppy fields in the mountains of west, like Michoacán, Guerrero)
That left a strip up the centre less affected (e.g. Puebla, Edomex, Queretaro).
Now that they've leveraged decades of drug money to expand into other enterprises (e.g. extortion), they've expanded into other geographical areas too. But the remains of that central strip can still be seen on the map with white & whitish areas.
¡Una sorpresa! ¿Donde estan los Zetas? Tengo la impresíon que Zetas tienen el poder de la estados cerca de Nuevo Laredo por muchos años.
Que yo sepa han sido derrotados. Al menos yo llevó mucho sin oír de ellos.
