[@ricardod94]

Both Mexico and the United States are complicit in maintaining drug trafficking. If the United States had not been interested in maintaining a drug market, it would have intervened years ago. But that same market has helped them get out of economic crises. For years, several journalists in Mexico mentioned the connection between Garcia Luna and the drug cartel, and even made honorable mentions of him in the United States. It is difficult to think that the situation will change, no matter if they imprison El Chapo or his son, or the Mencho or anyone else, if white-collar criminals operate, move the media, or simply remain unpunished like the HSBC money laundering to the drug cartel. Americans are lucky to have the choice of whether or not to become a drug addict. On the contrary, dealing with the drug traffickers in Mexico ends up sentencing many innocent people, whether they are kidnapped and forced to work for the drug traffickers, or are charged a flat fee in their businesses. Very sad that the right hand of former president Felipe Calderon was the one who gave the orders for all this to happen

[@aidamartinez4890]

[@techcafe0]

that's right, ninety percent of guns used by Mexican cartels are legally purchased in the United States, using 'straw buyers' at any of the thousands of gun shops, then the guns are smuggled across the U.S. border into Mexico. The same thing has been happening in Canada, illegal guns from the U.S. cross our border every day, but nowhere near the scale as Mexico. imo, Mexico is a failed state, based on cartel violence and 'civil war' like numbers of gun deaths in the country, with no end in sight.

Of course there must be complicity with an US Statesman, it's just that it doesn't fit the narrative that corruption magically appears in the USA in the form of foreign criminals.

It's absurd.

[@BGeezy4sheezy]

The policy historically has always been to favor one cartel, the Sinaloa, in exchange for keeping the violence down. Aside from legalizing drugs, it’s probably the best policy, and is still probably what the realistic US people advocate. But the State Department, CIA, FBI, Border Patrol are not always working together, or know what the other is doing, so the US is usually doing all kinds of mixed up stuff in its Mexican relationship

Decriminalization won't work. We need to source and tax unadulterated drugs for the ppl so the black market has no legs to stand on. Also, giving the ppl access to clean forms of what they seek so they're not geting stuff that rots their limbs or is cut with lethal additives. Its simple, build up a significant rehab infrastructure prior to legalization and let ppl choose.

[@olguinenrique1]

[@coolbreeze3793]

[@efreeze2006]

[@gino27224]

Are we surprised people? I hope not.

Well with the fast and furious operation that took place during the time Garcia Luna was in power allowed the cartels to aquire weapons so the U.S. government is responsible in that part,the weapons had sensor that allowed them to be traced,but all that the cartels did was to just remove the sensors,that quite a stupid move.

[@joseguerrero343]

Well I think we some american politicions in jail to set a good example, like Barack Obama,Hilary Clinton,etc.who were cozy with this guy.

[@haydenreid7496]

Ohh who would've guess someone from the authorities working for the cartels!

The mainstream news gave a lot of attention to the Joaqun El Chapo Guzman case but not Genaro Garcia Luna. The next big trial happening is the President of Honduras 🇭🇳 Juan Orlando Hernandez who was extradited to the US last year and is going to trial for drug smuggling. He was a US Ally from 2014 until he left office in 2022. That case needs more coverage. I have made some videos about it on my youtube channel

[@mahavakyas002]

dude was an asset. plain and simple.

[@Reyes899]

The question is how many DEA agents worked with him.? That is also true.!

[@baccichan2497]

Well duh , what do you expect ? A non criminal to be in politics ? Laughable..

Now what you're leaving out is the fact that they probably threatened to kill his kids to kill his neighbors if he didn't keep giving them information don't forget that do not forget that part..
