Here’s What You Need to Know About the Cartels 🤯
An expert discusses the future of Mexican drug cartels, predicting that despite leadership changes, the CJNG will continue expanding its power and control over Mexico and global drug trafficking operations due to its financial resources, organizational intelligence, and strategic leadership.
Summary
The speaker provides analysis on the trajectory of Mexican drug cartels, particularly focusing on the CJNG (Jalisco New Generation Cartel). The expert suggests that the US government's strategy involves creating internal conflict among cartel factions to reduce their operational capacity. However, the speaker argues this approach will be insufficient to curtail CJNG's growth. Despite the recent elimination of CJNG's leader, the speaker predicts the organization will maintain and expand its dominance across Mexico and in the global drug trade. The analysis emphasizes that CJNG possesses significant advantages including substantial financial resources, sophisticated operational structures, and intellectual capital—particularly among members of the Valencia family. These high-intelligence individuals are positioned to ensure not only the continuation of current operations but potential expansion, making CJNG a formidable force that may function similarly to a foreign terrorist organization in its capabilities and reach.
