President Claudia Sheinbaum also said Mexico will expand its legal action against U.S. gun manufacturers following the decision to designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

Mexico will never tolerate an invasion of its national sovereignty by the United States, President Claudia Sheinbaum warned Thursday after Washington designated Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

“This cannot be an opportunity for the U.S. to invade our sovereignty,” she said. “With Mexico it is collaboration and coordination, never subordination or interventionism, and even less invasion.”

On Wednesday, the Trump administration formally labeled eight cartels as terrorist groups. They include Mexico’s two main drug trafficking organizations, the Jalisco New Generation and Sinaloa cartels.

    The US is shit at fighting guerilla armies despite exclusively doing so for the last 60 years. You make the mistake of invading Mexico, shit on the US side starts blowing up. Mexico won’t assist the US, and if they start really sanctioning the US that’s pretty much it for motor vehicles in the military. If China takes the opportunity to then sanction the US that’s it for military drones and quite a lot of the air force.

    Logistics and manufacturing wins engagements and wars, and other countries control both in the US.

            Bruh, if you can’t be bothered to read, why are you replying? No wonder your reply made no sense.

            Your initial comment seems to imply that it won’t be a problem for the US army to fight against the cartel, which the other guy was arguing against by giving examples of how bad their performance has been against guerilla fighters.

            You replied by asking him which army isn’t bad at fighting guerilla warfare? His point wasn’t that the US army is the only one bad at fighting guerilla warfare. Your rebuttal even goes against your original point that the US won’t have trouble with fighting the cartel, so it doesn’t even work as a supporting argument for your own point.
