This isn’t what it looks like, I can tell you that much.
Firstly, there is no ability to draw a distinction between the drug smuggling and the human smuggling, which are the same phenomenon, carried out by the same people. Biden has fully and consistently endorsed the latter.
RT:
US President Joe Biden issued an executive order on Thursday authorizing Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas to deploy active duty reserve troops to the US-Mexican border as needed, to fight the illegal drug trade.
“The authorities that have been invoked will ensure the Department of Defense can properly sustain its support of the Department of Homeland Security concerning international drug trafficking along the Southwest Border,” Biden wrote in a message to Congress accompanying the order.
The measure is a response to the White House’s declaration of a national emergency in December 2021 regarding International drug trafficking. The president blamed “drug cartels, transnational criminal organizations, and their facilitators” for bringing “illicit drugs and precursor chemicals” and “drug-related violence” into American communities and imposed sanctions on senior cartel figures.
Most likely, these soldiers are going to be used to ferry “immigrants” into the country, and the drug thing will not be brought up at all.
Or, maybe they will start some war with the cartels.
There have been no attempts at peace talks with the cartels, by the way. Just to be clear. This is a group that controls much of a country on our border, which it seems like we should have channels with, and we do not.
Maybe there is no deal to be made. Their biggest business is moving drugs and people into the United States. If that is the decision, however, the solution would be “shock and awe” total war and elimination of the cartels, which would have to be done in cooperation with the Mexico City government.
It seems to me it would have been a whole lot easier to just build a wall.
But that was, of course, racist.
And you can’t have racism.
I guess the ultimate implication, potentially, is that the US is indeed building an Iron Curtain, and that border will ultimately need to be militarized… while there is still an open door system for global genetic refuse, I guess…?
Maybe they fear Mexico is going to invite in the Chinese military?
I have no idea, honestly.
But this is definitely NOT about fixing a problem.
