The USA both fed the cartels and also trained and armed the Mexican Marines that combat them.

Ideally, you would not have fucking meddled with our country or any other for that matter.
But what is done is done, and if you stop funding to the various programs put in place to combat the cartels, the cartels ain’t fucking going anywhere until you dumb nuts finally ban guns-- and well, I don’t see that happening any time soon.
I support people understanding that conflicts are far more nuanced and difficult to resolve than one would think.
But the analogy here was to continuing arming Israel. Why have you switched to supporting arming anti-cartel programs when the original analogy was funding the cartels.
Do you or do you not support the US continuing to arm the cartels?

You would have said the same about the Holocaust.
These arguments are so disingenuous.
