No shit. You cut the guts out of a country’s economy and guess what?- criminal gangs (replacing gangs run by a corrupt fascist military regime) fill the gap.

Whodathunkit?

Same thing in Mexico. The Zetas are run by cashiered, ex-Military gang members.

Yep and that’s on St. Reagan who had no knowledge at all about the region and just wanted to be anti-communist without knowing anything about the country or its people. Didn’t know that about Mexico btw. I know more about MS-13 since i know more El Salvadorians and those of El Salvadorian descent than I do those of Mexican. On another side note, it drives me crazy when every single Latino is assumed to be A) illegal or B) Mexican, or C) both.
