Years ago I talked to a DEA retired at the time who while working under cover in South America amongst the cartels. One of the riskiest jobs you could ever have if they found you out. Your on your own. He found the CIA was in on it.
He said that at that time anyways we’re building up and training cartels under the guise of freedom’s fighters hired by American business I remember my departed ex told me who I talked out of going there to train weapons which they were paid for which at the time I didn’t want anything to do with even though I was shooting guns since 6 yrs starting with non recoil bird shots BBs etc. He’d buy me guns but I didn’t want them, since I wasn’t hunting anymore or around kids, then anyways. Hed laugh told me it’s not about duck hunting. Well according to this DEA they weren’t really freedom fighters but turned into death squads. They they wanted war with Mexico not targeting the average citizen which he didn’t want that, to take it over. I suppose something like a bunch of big bad cartels causing havoc everywhere they enabled would justify that.
