What do you think about POTUS wanting to designate Drug Cartels as terrorist organizations?
Across the nation the opioid crisis is an issue. Please share your thoughts about this issue and (if your comfortable with sharing) how it has impacted someone you know.

I agree but in a subset category of narcoterrorism. What we should be promoting is a relationship similar to what we did in Colombia in the "Plan Colombia" conceived by the Clinton Administration and expanded by the Bush Admin. It was highly successful in taking on the FARC, essentially making them obsolete as a government challenger, and decreasing cocaine production by 72% between 2001 and 2012. By 2015 it ended with the FARC coming to the table for peace and the Colombians have attributed it with the economic turn around they experiences as a result. Having lived in Latin America for most of my childhood and serving with SOUTHCOM for part of my AF career, I watched Colombia literally transform. In the 80s I would say they were more like what Venezuela looked like a few years after Chavez took control. Ironically Venezuela in the 80s looked more like what Colombia looks like now.
I definitely see an opportunity here for Trump to work with the Mexican Government in a similar manner to take on the cartels, which present a clear and present danger to both nations.

CPO Nate S. - Thanks... For me it is mostly based on my knowledge of South and Central American politics and history. If you were to push a question on the most of the African continent and some parts of Asia/Europe, I'd be at a loss.

Tell the average American you’re a liberal and they’ll assume you’re on the political left. Yet, leftists and liberals hold very different positions on key i...
A former DHS head said that this would play into the left and ACLU who would sue to stop Mexico as an interim country for Asylum seeking potential illegal aliens. This unraveling would play into the Left Democrats who Are Open Border Leftists.

Mexico's socialist President turns down our help claiming proud Mexican Sovereignty when 80% of Mexico is under siege. Mexican 'Orgullo' will never solve the problem. Que Desastre!

Legalizing marijuana and other drugs is just going to add to the demand. And Foster new customers

CPO Nate S. yes, we can rationalize and negotiate with a liberal but negotiating or rationalizing with a leftist is like trying to negotiate with a Terminator or the Borg from Star Trek.

LTC (Join to see) - Sir, love the "Borg from Star Trek" reference. "Resistance is futile!" is so appropriate. Unreasonable people are unreasonable because something seems to be lacking in their lives. We all lack something in our lives, but that does not give ANY of us the reasoning not to listen with - intelligent deliberation.
Thanks for posting Prager's video.

I agree w/ the designation. However, from a 40+ yrs. as a clinical psychologist, the demand will remain huge and the supply will always meet this demand. Some of our species has always been fascinated by psychoactive agents. And those who exhibit SUD (Substance Use Disorder) mix and match multiple agents. For the top dealers, the profit is so lucrative.
