Mexican drug dealers are not like ordinary drug dealers. Their armed forces are very good, and they even have their own army with a population of 65,438+10,000. This figure is already very large for Mexico, because there are only more than 200,000 troops in Mexico, and the armed forces of drug traffickers have reached half of the government forces. Moreover, the weapons and equipment of drug dealers are superior to those of government forces. They use the profits from drug trafficking to smuggle powerful arms and weapons from various countries to compete with government forces and strengthen their own strength.
Moreover, Mexico lacks an honest and enthusiastic leader. At present, Mexican leaders are very weak. Unlike the President of the Philippines, he has a firm belief in combating drug trafficking. Although the Mexican president has also carried out anti-drug activities, they all ended in failure because the government forces were afraid of going to war with drug dealers. Third, a large number of farmers in Mexico choose to cooperate with drug dealers under the temptation of interests to grow some raw materials of drugs such as opium poppy and marijuana. Because the profit of planting these things is dozens of times that of planting crops, Mexican farmers who want to get rich are also an important reason for the rampant drug dealers.
Finally, the support of the United States for Mexican drug traffickers has also caused great headaches for the Mexican government. First of all, the United States is a big drug consumer, with more people taking drugs than any other country in the world, so it needs to buy a lot of drugs from Mexico. Then Mexico buys weapons from the United States. Both sides are each other's profit points. These four factors make Mexican drug dealers rampant, and no one can control them.
