    That happened in small cities and some hot states. They’d never dare to attack directly a Presidential Candidate.

      Really?

      https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/mexican-candidate-assassinations-hit-grim-record-ahead-sundays-election-2024-06-01/

      To be clear, 37 other candidates were murdered. Leaving this final one the pick of the cartels as the survivor.

      Why? Are they afraid UN peace keeping forces would be deployed or that the US would step in?

        The last time Mexican Cartels pissed the USA off, the largest cartel in Mexican History got shafted. So yeah, they are pretty afraid of direct US involvement.

          And by shafted, they mean the opposite cartel got armed by the “Fast and Furious” operation

            Maybe they were talking about the Gulf Cartel?
