First, between DEA, Intel, and CIA folks.....this one particular cartel in the news....has been on the minds of people for 20-odd years....waiting for this 'war' to start up.
Second, if they take a couple hundred hostages (Canadians, Americans, Mexicans, and Europeans)....a number of lesser cartels will step up to hero-status....briefly putting down this mess...in the interest of their cartel business.
Third and final....tourism-wise....you can figure the rest of 2026 is screwed-up in Mexico.
