This article fails to talk about the cause of the situation in Mexico, and that is American involvement:

http://fightthefuture.org/article/america-and-the-mexican-dr...

In the article they mention that the three most dangerous countries for reporters are Mexico, Syria and Iraq. Well no shit, those are the three nations the CIA/United States are systematically destroying for corporate greed, or do you really believe Assad on the eve of peace negotiations when everything is going his way would bomb his own people. That's insanity.

Minus CIA part, it says that at the end of the article. Both in terms of gun and drug trades.

Its going his way because he bombed his own people. Although for a full disclosure they are different ethnicity. Saddam Hussein did similar things.

If you pay close attention, and consider the general rule about shitting on your own doorstep, Mexico's unchecked violence is China knocking.

It's really not in American interests to have a wave of violence destabilizing a neighbor that shares a border. China wants the Panama Canal, or something like it. China also has lots of mind bending chemicals it can dump into America, to slow things down economically, while profiting from the trade.

America doesn't want violence in Mexico because it fucks things up for Americans. China, on the other hand, does not give one single fuck about what happens in Mexico, because it's far away, and there are no direct effects.

When an external actor is capable of fanning these flames, it also shows Mexico how powerless America is, as far as keeping allies safe. America isn't the trouble maker here. The violence is pointed at America, given America's involvement in other places, like the middle east, as a check to those American power plays.

Is this not quite obvious? Just look at the geography, and the rest follows.

Well it's a question of framing. If America is in fact world's police man who protect the rights and freedom of all citizens of the world then America routinely bombs its own Arab citizens and destroys millions of lives to protect their rights.

Nothing should be obvious without tangible proofs.

I read this book a couple of years ago, highly recommend it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/El-Narco-Bloody-Mexican-Cartels/dp/...

The narco epidemic in Mexico is morbidly fascinating and thoroughly depressing as someone who's travelled to Mexico and loves the country and its people.
