Business has never been better for Mexico’s criminal syndicates.
Organized crime in Mexico and Central America has long played a dominant role in destabilizing the region while contributing to a host of social issues within the United States where one of their largest groups of clientele is located. But more recent events show that the cartels are gaining a previously unheard of boldness, potentially achieving the ability to create WMDs and expanding their control of Mexico’s economy and government while violence escalates within the country.
The threat of cartel-handled nuclear or biological weapons in particular is a grave threat to not only the Mexican government, but also the United States. With a migrant crisis due to looming unrest in South America becoming likely, possession of such weapons will give organized criminal groups a powerful bargaining chip.

This may or may not be true, but one thing is certain - while we waste time and money looking for non-existent WMDs in Iraq and Iran, organizations like drug cartels and nations like Saudi Arabia are acquiring the means to possess them.
Our national security apparatus and our military are being COMPLETELY misused. They have accomplished NOTHING which looks like defense ... and a whole lot of what looks like intimidation of the world and a colossal squandering of our resources.
