How else can they justify calling cartels an invasion? They have to manufacture a political entity that puts the government of Mexico in the same bucket as the cartels to be able to make the claim we are at war/there has been a foreign invasion… so basically protection, again, attacking others for being the thing you are has got to be one of the most unevolved mentalities yet it sure seems to work
Would you consider this to be systemic? Or could you guess how high it goes? I would imagine it’s mostly mayoral level positions, being “in bed” can mean almost anything when the threat to your life is sufficient enough, that’s important to remember, it would be the politicians who are more physically isolated higher up I’d be worried about. At the end of the day unless it was the president, or who ever has the power to declare war in Mexico, is on the take it wouldn’t be sufficient to link Mexican politicians and leadership to an invasion, which is what they have been claiming the cartel activity is, a foreign invasion
