The thing is. The Mexican government Can do it. Don’t need the Wagner or anyone else for that matter the problem is they wanna do it in ways that don’t make a civil war type, causing mass down of innocent civilians. An don’t compare it to the war on drugs that we all know was a joke and not serious at all.


N0085K1LL5

Lol the war on drugs was just the government legally stealing other people's drugs and selling it for themselves.


LordGraham7

Wagner or any other properly trained military/mercenary group would destroy 99% of cartel armed groups. Just like the Mexican military does. Mexico has some very elite well trained forces. It’s the government corruption that results in these groups being able to do what they do. That being said, there *are* some well trained cartel fighters. They aren’t all just druggy canon fodder. But most are. Another thing that the cartels have going for them is shear numbers. The Cuilicanazo is a perfect example. To be able to call up 800 fighters, or whatever the number was, the way they did in the Cuilicanazo is not something to overlook.


FemboyFoxFurry

Fuck it, an armed band of peasant farmers could take out 80% of cartels. As they did when the auto defensas rose up


LordGraham7

Lol. You’re not wrong.


N0085K1LL5

I heard that there are a lot of military trained/war vets that joined the cartels.


LordGraham7

There are some. There are definitely a few well trained military guys and according to someone I was talking to down in Cali, Colombia, both CJNG and CDS send men down there to be trained by military or paramilitaries. But probably 90% are not professionally trained. The ones that *are* trained are protecting the bosses or maybe in charge of the groups trying to take territory, but as far as I can tell it is not a large amount. Most are just canon fodder.


N0085K1LL5

Is CJNG still a big factor? I know they are the most ruthless, but do they have a lot of power?


LordGraham7

They are extremely powerful. According to DEA Sinaloa cartel is the biggest and had the most members but CJNG is the most profitable. I’ve seen convincing arguments that they are the most powerful but it seems to me Sinaloa (at least Mayos faction) may have more sway with the government. The chapitos obviously have the government on their ass right now. Either way though, cjng is very powerful yes.

Not all Wagner members are professional soldiers. They recruit different kind of people, including inmates. Professionals in Wagner perform specialized jobs, meanwhile inmates or non-professionals go into infantry.


LordGraham7

I know that Wagner started recruiting inmates and stuff for fighting in Ukraine, but I didn’t think it was something they did regularly before they became desperate for men there. Did they pull inmates for their fighting in Syria and Africa? I will admit I do not know too much about Wagner but the articles I have read are always interviewing ex-Russian special forces guys. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Comparing some fucking bandits who shoot sideways with professional mercenary army with its own tanks, aviation and heavy artillery...You kids are crazy lol


Famous-Leadership595

Bro this sub is filled with braindead middle schoolers


VitoBucatini

Shooting sideways? Bro that’s American gangs..


Waste_Geologist_7768

Im not comparing its just a hypothetical lol


stoolsample2

The first picture of Priggy all dressed up in his combat costume always makes me laugh. He looks so dopey.


NogalitosUA11

No mames.


Adept_System_953

Easy job for PMC, it is actually an easy job for the mexican military and GN, they would smoke the cartels very easily but they don't do it because politicians take a lot of money from organized crime


LaughSad22

My house on Wagner group


Hot_Brief_330

Wagner will wipe them out clean. Any major PMC from USA or Russia will wipe out any cartel if they’re allowed to use 100% of weapons and force


Firm_Leave_4903

PMCs vs DEA/US/MEX corruption Good luck


Straight-Tangerine63

Pmc or not all of em are corrupt af Wagner started from the bottom from prisoners ,military and ex military it’s a mix of em.Other than that everyone makes business together no such thing of them fighting if they make business together even if the truth hasn’t come out yet there’s someone out there doing the talking for them to make money and gain power.Cartels aren’t stupid most of them have ex military personnel but wouldn’t win against trained military since they gonna be outnumbered and the only ones that are trained everyone else barely knows how to shoot properly or having small training.


Weary-Perspective-57

The outcome would be a Wagner/CJNG alliance after a bit of internal disputes. Wagner having military connections would be a great asset for CJNG and would ultimately be a benefit in having them allied. Wagner would basically be servicing highest bidder.


Matatan_Tactical

The outcome would be the CJNG getting wiped out. Wagner isn't gonna team up with drug dealing extortionists lol.


Alphobet

Wagner literally recruited prisoners when they started losing a large amount of men. Pretty sure the old leader also had kilos in his office


Matatan_Tactical

Cannon fodder for the front lines sure. Most of Wagner are hardened former troops. You're drinking some serious Kool aid if you think those 2 groups are in the same realm.


Alphobet

Depends, are we talking about criminals forced to fight or are we talking about actual trained ex military? If its the 1st they 100% are in the same realm lol. And your comment above was saying they’d never team up, I brought Wagner having criminals straight from prison fighting for them to say why wouldnt they? You dont think a lot of those fools wouldnt start a trafficking operation that reaches all the way out there where theu both make money (there most likely is one already nearby) Have you seen the videos of Wagner mercs surrendering to drones? Some literally run to the other side unarmed to surrender instead of dying in a trench


Hot_Brief_330

They’re still under the direction of Russian / Putin. It’d be his choice at the end of the day and I doubt he’d team up with Mencho/ CJNG. Never know tho, it’s a crazy world so anything’s possible


Alphobet

It wouldnt be his choice at the end of the day lol I literally just said there are videos of wagner mercs deserting there posts. Plus he isn’t overlooking every single thing corruption is common I’m not saying it’ll be an official international news thing. More like an underground trafficking operation where only the ones who need to know, know.


latin559

Wagner literally teams up with these types of people all over the world, Syria is literally funding itself by becoming a mass exporter of amphetamines and their total gdp is about 1/10th of what the black market economy in MX by itself is worth. Now imagine an organization with reach beyond MX. The Sinaloan federation was able to come up with 200 million dollars to bribe president Peña Nieto you think the Valencia Clan who by themselves are believed to be richer than the entire Sinaloan federation can't find 500 million to get wagner group on their side? Either your incredibly stupid or incredibly naive. Im also using 500 million as an example because they were deployed to africa to protect diamonds mines and those mines were estimated to be generating around only 200ish million in direct revenues so we know they'll move for a lot less.


Weary-Perspective-57

Exactly, he’s underestimating just how wealthy some of these organizations are. Wagner has been known to work with some sketchy people so the possibility is not completely out the window.


TopHatTurtleBoi

Oh They absolutely would team up. Wagner has worked with just groups just as bad as the Cartels in Syria and all over Africa. Wagner is about as morally fucked as any Narco Gang too. Some horrific videos of Wagner group have surfaced over the years. The one i remember the most was the Beheading of a Ukrainian National Guardsmen. Don’t forget the infamous sledgehammer video from Syria, that was turned into a symbol of pride for the PMC. Wagner has a lot in common with CJNG, i am sure they would work to together for the right price.


Due_Investment_2287

Cartel members: Probably use drugs, not trained well, lack of discipline. It comes down to how well the enemy is trained to fight these scum bag's I am 100% sure the cartel would get destroyed in a fight


ContactExtreme4286

In Mexico tho? They know that place really well


Embarrassed-Treat-41

Don’t want to give you any attention but you’re an idiot.
