US and Israel Arms Impact on Mexican Cartels
I'm sure you know by now that 80% of the Mexican drug
cartels' weapons come from the United States.
As for the other 20%, they come from Israel, not Russia,
China, not Iran, not Venezuela. The US and Israel.
That's according to Mexico's Secretary of Defense, Ricardo Trevilla.
And since Claudia Sheinbaum became president of Mexico in late
2024, Secretary of Defense Trevilla has seized
23,000 weapons from cartels. Israeli
arms exports to Mexico are nothing new.
Israel's obviously one of the world's major arms exporters, which begs
the question, why do US taxpayers have to fund all of
their defense
protocols? Notably, though, Israel exports a lot of their weapons to
Latin America. Mexico's Secretary of Defense says these
weapons end up
with the cartels. So think about that.
Without guns, the cartels really have nothing.
With the cartels, we have a drug crisis, we have an epidemic of
violence, we have huge amounts of illegal
immigration at the border, and
all of this ties back to the fact that the US and Israel arm
these guys in Mexico
