Ron DeSantis is threatening drone strikes on drug cartels in Mexico. He's vowing blockades of Mexican ports and escalated lethal force at the border. I talked to Mexico's ambassador to the US during the Trump years about this. It got interesting. 1/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
Importantly, DeSantis and other Republicans are in some cases vowing military action in Mexico *without its consent.* DeSantis says the US will "do what we have to do." One Fox News personality says we should bomb cartels even "if Mexico won't agree." 2/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

@ThePlumLineGS @TheRickWilson Act of War. Can a Governor start a war all on his own? 🤔 He's going to see prison time too.
@ThePlumLineGS When faced with a hard problem, Republicans reach for weaponry.
