AMLO Shows Some Spine

In the 1960s and ‘70s it didn’t matter whether the heroin in the USA and Canada came from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Mexico, or elsewhere.

In the 2020s it doesn’t matter whether the opioids are coming from Mexico or China or elsewhere. The demand in the USA and Canada will attract the supply.

If the supply from Mexico to the USA were cut, the supply lines would shift. If the supply lines from China to Canada were cut, the supply lines would shift.

The is what is pertinent.

I agree that it is in the interests of Mexico and Mexicans that the criminal carnage be offset.

I do not agree that it is relevant to the USA or Americans whether the criminals suppling the USA are Mexican, Chinese, Afghani, or from any other nation.
