another day another dead american doing regime change work that nobody asked for, but sure lets keep pretending this is about "fighting drugs"
This is exactly the kind of stuff that happens when we let the CIA operate in foreign countries with minimal oversight. Two people dead and for what, so Trump can claim he's "tough on cartels"?
idk, the article doesn't really get into why they were there or what the operation was about.
CIA operating in Mexico has nothing to do with Trump being tough on cartels, that's been going on for decades under both parties.
CIA operatives dying in Mexico doing drug cartel operations? This is what happens when you dont have a real border policy. Should've been handled from this side years ago.
Yeah, except Trump had four years to "handle it from this side" and just posted about it on Truth Social instead.
yeah this is what happens when you outsource your drug war to a country that's actively destabilizing itself
This administration is going to have a real problem explaining what CIA operatives were doing on a Mexican military operation in the first place, especially with how badly things have deteriorated down there since Trump took office.
Trump needs to send more agents down there to fix it, thats what a real president does.
Nah, throwing more bodies at Mexico's problems is how you get more bodies in body bags.
yeah, and trump's letting the cartels run wild while he tweets conspiracy theories about it.
Yeah, like Trump's actually gonna do anything about cartel violence when he's too busy posting conspiracy theories on Truth Social!
wild that this is just coming out now, wonder how long they were sitting on it before publishing

Why'd it take the NYT this long to report it if they actually knew?
