How else can they justify calling cartels an invasion? They have to manufacture a political entity that puts the government of Mexico in the same bucket as the cartels to be able to make the claim we are at war/there has been a foreign invasion… so basically protection, again, attacking others for being the thing you are has got to be one of the most unevolved mentalities yet it sure seems to work
