Mexico’s president has taken the unusual step of issuing a public appeal to drug cartels not to fight each other following last week’s detention of the top Mexican drug lord Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said at his daily press briefing that he trusted that drug traffickers knew they would only suffer if they stepped up the internal wars that already plague the Sinaloa cartel.

      Knock it off, cartels! Don’t make me come over there! (With my military that apparently has no chance of winning. Where do I send payment?)

    Ways to solve this problem:

    • stop supplying them with guns by capping the number of guns a single person can purchase each year
    • stop supplying them with funds by reducing drug use by multiple routes (clinics, treatment, free prescription medications)

    Ways to not solve this problem

    • ask nicely
    • war

      I wonder how credible Media bias factcheck itself is if they claim the NY Times is left-wing biased and more credible than the Guardian

        That and the fact that they’ve repeatedly certified Zionist propaganda outlets as “reliable” despite publishing easily debunked outright lies.

        Even the fact that it has been mandated on every post here with a donation link, despite all the criticism, is extremely telling.
