Conquer Club

Should the USA be conducting a air war against the drug cartels in Mexico?

Did any of those drug cartels hack Conquer Club (an act of war)?

8 year old early Obama Era tactics.. with some newer articles of interest..

March 16, 2011 - Mexico confirms use of U.S. drones in drug war.

I guess they have a choice, they could legalize and invest in an extremely profitable business or start dropping bombs and kill everyone involved.


hmmmmm, drugs is profitable for sure but war, bombs and killing is the most profitable way to go. And since tptb figure bombs is alot of fun,(they even have songs like, bomb,bomb,bomb) I bet I can guess what they decide.

Cartel crime hinders people from investing, traveling even going to work. Drug money is profitable but at huge cost to the economy. That said I'm against getting involved.

just grow coffee....

Amount of Coca Leaf Needed to Make Cocaine. In order to make 1 kilogram of cocaine, drug producers need to cultivate around 370 kilograms of coca leaf, or over 800 pounds. The producers need over two acres of land in order to grow enough coca leaf to create a kilo of cocaine

2 acres of land = 1 kilo of cocaine

selling price of 1 kilo of cocaine in South America = a kilogram of cocaine in Miami can be purchased for around $25,000

1 kilo of cocaine = $25,000
so
2 acres of land = $25,000

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you consider coffee variety as Robusta the yield is anywhere between 2,800 kilos to 4,000 kilos of cherry per acre. Now, you will have to dry it...then it comes down to 1,200 kilos to 1,500 kilos (Dry cherry)
1,500 kilos per acre x2
2 acres of land = 3,000 kilos

selling price of 1 kilo of Columbian Coffee = Wal-Mart: 2.2 pound bag of Columbian coffee about $30.00

1 kilo of coffee = $30.00
3,000 kilos x $30 = $90,000
so
2 acres of land = $90,000

~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 acres of cocaine plants nets $25,000
2 acres if coffee plants nets $90,000

duh...……

A three pointer for mrswdk!

Seriously... I appreciate the humor.

I would say that depending a few facts military action may be valid...

-> Do the acts of these organize cartels infringe on US rights?
Are they supporting violence that’s crossing the border and harming Americans?

-> Is the Mexican government unable or unwilling to control the actions of their nationals that are based on their soil?

If these two things are true then it’s not much different than invading Afghanistan after 9/11... the only difference would be the scale.
Both the harm and the response are less than what was experienced on 9/11.

only way to beat the cartels is to decriminalize & start selling a cheaper, better product - this is widely known...*shrugs*

the US buys the drugs (they actually taught the business to mexican farmers during WWII) and sells the guns

and they're so shocked, classic US


stay the f*ck away. we'll let them work, it's good income for mex.



meanwhile there are idiots buying the fairy tale while they take away their rights, and tell them what to do, square by square.

hey, don't forget to buy your insurance for everything, also, your meds for everything.

taught them how to grow what? weed? mexican weed is terrible, nietz...seriously - i've purchased it several times down there & it was always crap. the yeyo, on the other hand...

i think it was the poppy thing, you know, for the army.

something like that.

Maybe America could clean up its various messes in the Middle East and Afghanistan before it start worrying about launching a new military campaign in yet another country.

good idea.. countries on the same continents should defend their neighbors if they are in peril or need help
. .. US should help Mexico & Canada or anyone in South America..
.. any European Country should help any Country in the Middle East, Africa.. or Asia...

good job to Russia for stepping up..
they have Balls..

but
hmm...
where is Europe ???
are they Scared .. or just Weak.. ?

foeing is so I do not have to worry about playing games with you since you decided to leave me a 1 star rating on the last game... simply based upon you not liking me personally

Maybe if you played me again you might play nicely this time and I might decide to increase my rating of you?
