I won't join the CIA, I'll get them to rig the election for me. That combined with cartel backing will be enough. I'll then use my position as president to buy arms from the Americans.

And then?

I would then use border security to bargain with the United States and get them to agree to overlook my war crimes when I go to war with the cartels

lol

So... WHY do you have to commit war crimes?

You would repeat what is happening?

How do you plan on getting the CIA to help or not have the cartels just kill you?

Cluster bombs

Why are cluster bombs useful against cartels?

I can also threaten to let the cartels run roughshot if the US doesn't support my war effort

You need to arm the people. Whenever they do, the government takes it away from them.

You sound like the president of Turkmenistan, an utter moron in search of power.

How about you just run a taco truck?

"How do we defeat cartels? What is our brilliant strategy?"

"This type of ordinance."

"No, I meant, how do you-"

The cartels already run wild as it is

Lol

"This type of ordinance."

What a moron.

What's your grand plan

Sounds like a good way to turn the people against you.

I will get THE best generals, believe me.

It doesn't matter, your plan is worse than no plan at all.

Hitler had excellent generals.

Also the cartels run the show not the government

It's still in it's preliminary stage

@ebowden that he frequently ignored

Arm the citizens

But you are far worse at this than hitler, so you will still lose.

HOW do you get the generals?

If you just bomb citizens, they will turn those arms against you.

The US backing has its perks.

The idea of using cluster bombs on your own people is utterly moronic.

You will mostly kill the innocent, and a few cartel members.

What a mess

So, the US directly lends its generals to people?

They'd likely know you intend to take them out and kill you before you take office the only thing you can do is arm the citizens

Like I said, preliminary stage. I don't have it fleshed out. I'm not necessarily opposed to civilian militias.

People are demoralized and live in fear because they have no protection and the law is not on their side because they're poor.
