Just a friendly reminder too that a 2015 report from the ATF found that 71% of the guns the cartels use are bought in the United States and carried south across the border. The United States is just as complicit in the rise of cartel related crime as the cartels themselves!
I’m not gonna touch the insane ramblings of the Cheeto, but I will remind you that the oceans exist and you can very easily take a boat from Mexico to Canada without ever entering the US if you wanted to.
Or, you know, an airplane. Cartels have planes too.
Honestly planes are a little harder. Pretty much all airspace is monitored so it’s more likely to be noticed.
Then again I haven’t smuggled drugs for the cartels in years so maybe they figured out a way around that little problem.
Fly low, the terrain confuses the targeting systems.
GTA told me that, one mission in particular.
Avoid populated areas, and fly low. The exact same techniques that they’ve been using for decades. Radar is dumb, it sends back a return when it bounces off objects, but you can’t tell what it is returning, that’s why planes have transponders to supplement more info. If you just don’t do that and fly low it will get filtered out with the terrain most of the time.
Couldn’t they also just legally request a route and land on an official airport (no matter the exact size) with a few people on board as a sort of “VIP” flight and then just smuggle the drugs out of the plane/airport?
It wouldn’t be the first nor last time someone in a harbor or airport was bribed to “misplace” some cargo they handled/saw/whatever.
I’m sensing a new business opportunity…
They have larger fleets than mexican airlines
Plus planes.
This highlights the folly of trying to lock down the Canada-US land border. If you really wanted to cut down drugs and human trafficking, you’d focus on ports of entry to the continent. The border is just way too long. Only an idiot would try to police its full length. If you think it’s only the 4000 miles from Maine to Washington State, you’re forgetting that extra 1500 miles with Alaska.
Trump says a lot of things. Most are absolutely brain dead takes.
Cartels have boats, but no one’s shipping drugs up to Canada just to smuggle them south: They just get shipped directly to the US
Trump is just making up an excuse to justify cutting off trade with Canada.
Really, the whole fentanyl thing seems like scaremongering: People do overdose on it, but you won’t die from touching it or inhaling trace quantity. It’s not even the most potent opioid known, not even close to it.
It’s fascist ploy to make friends fight over shit that probably doesn’t exist from the start. We’re all being played.
Watching his press sec be like ‘one backpack?! It went up 2000% !!!’
So last year someone brought a literal baggie of fent south?
He’ll blame the blue states
He’s just setting things up for the invasion of Canada. Fentanyl, cartel, none of this is real. The idea probably comes from Putin.
I personally think the whole Fent stuff is bs. Like cops od’ing if they even touch the pill with barehands and shit. If that was the case then the people who have trouble swallowing pills who take Fent we should just tell them just hold it in your hand for a little bit. I have literally been putting pills in a bottle and drop one on our medical plate pick it up with barehands and toss it in the bottle. Never got high or even a buzz.

The second link has some history on where this idea came from
bold of you to assume he thoroughly thinks out half his comments. hell, one time he proposed banning guns to stop school shootings, which republicans said democrats would do as a reason to vote red for years, and every trump-supporting gun owner was down bad for it. but it never happened
He said nothing of the sort.
“I like taking the guns early,” Trump said during a televised meeting on gun laws at the White House on Wednesday. “To go to court would have taken a long time.”
Say that to a supporter, but pretend Biden said it. I’ve popped a couple of heads off with that trick!
You’re trying to apply conventional logic to the orange one. That doesn’t work. Stop doing that. It’s all about his frail ego, flooding the zone with bs, denying everything and never giving in, and blaming everybody else for stuff he’s done.
And just to give the poor, battered, beleaguered, ever-so-stable leader a break, there are sea lanes and flight routes available to the cartels as well. They didn’t have to go through the US (but probably did).
Yes but that would take too much logic for Trump to realise what a bad claim it is.
And his cult is too stupid to know either way.
You’re clearly giving it too much thought. It’s just stupid, blatant lies. There is no point in entertaining them or even questioning them.
I grew up to hate bullies and this just reminds me of bullying. Not saying US is the better country or anything. But really want to have a shirt printed up that says I side with Canada. I prolly get killed since im stationed in the deep south at the moment. But would be worth it.
Canada can blame US for unregistered gun coming into the country.
Preventing gun smuggling should be one of the negotiation itemNot really. The reality is they could use planes, subs, boats. No need to go through or even over the US.
But wouldn’t the kind of take the long way around from the Atlantic to the Pacific?
Canada touches the Atlantic and the pacific and so does the US and so does Mexico. Why would you have to go from one ocean to the other? Just sail up the coast pick an ocean and go
Tunnels?
That’s way too logical for a Donald rant
