On-the-Ground Reality in Mexico Shows Panic Overblown, Strength Wins – Twitchy

Over the last week, Twitchy has shared the turmoil in Mexico after Mexico and the United States joined together to take out a major cartel figure. One of Twitchy’s favorites ‘AGHamilton’ happened to be in Mexico during all of this and shared some thoughts from all the ground.

So I am back in the United States. I was in Mexico this past week but for obvious reasons did not want to post publicly about it.

One thing I will note is that a lot of the social media panic early in the week did not translate to reality on the ground in Mexico for American…

The takeaway … thank God we have a strong and resolute President like President Trump. Countries need to be in fear of us. 

If you consider how incredibly risky the capture of Maduro was, then you have to account for the fact that Trump is at least a little bit crazy so it’s not a shock that the cartels are afraid of him

This is what deterrence looks like…peace through strength https://t.co/6EkgnCwGSW

And when the United States is strong, it keeps the rest of the world in line.

Despite my libertarian preferences, I’m still aware that the smaller gangs are afraid of the bigger gang.https://t.co/GKBtKD96Qx

“Did you know that two thousand years ago a Roman citizen could walk across the face of the known world free of the fear of molestation?

This is why Democrats should not be in charge … ever.

Needing heavy military personnel is all you need to know. I met my husband in Mexico nearly 40 years ago and I’d never go back. And that’s on advice of several Mexican friends. https://t.co/JqlK25OVdH
