  1. > Asked by a journalist if he trusted that the cartels would heed his call, López Obrador answered bluntly: “The president of Mexico is always listened to.”

    Ok, so then say more things that they’ll listen to.

  2. Lol … this is just stupid. “Please be responsible when you are making narcotics and fighting turf wars. Now I will just look the other way, like a good boy.”

    Another politician in the pocket of the cartel. Mexico is essentially a cartel fiefdom. Avoid at all costs.

  3. Any indication from a Mexican citizens perspective that the incoming president will be any better than the current outgoing?

  4. can i ask a really dumb question

    as allies, why cant mexico and usa just take out the cartel, surely it can’t be THAT hard. I mean the usa is the biggest global power and its just a cartel south of the border

  5. A good first step to making it easier for Mexico to deal with the cartels would be to stop buying the drugs, and supplying the guns.

  6. He’s right. The cartel needs to stop behaving like a bunch of brat rich kids and grow the fuck up. Act your age, goddamn it! /s

  7. Do you think that legalizing drugs(in States and around the world) would diminish the violence and senseless killings in Mexico?

    That’s like putting a Tiffany diamond on the table at a trap house and telling no one to steal it while you go take a piss

    Honestly, I understand that the war on cartels was a failure in the early-2000s but there has to be something more sustainable than just be content with the organized criminal organizations continue terrorizing innocent people.

  10. Reddit gets mad when you point out that the cartels own and operate Mexico and the government can’t really do shit about shit.

    My dad who’s mexican says Obrador is a dumb idiot who got played by the cartel and has 0 power in Mexico. I agree 100%. Even those in Mexico know dudes a fraud.
