Reply to comment by PitifulNose in FBI offers $40,000 reward for American woman kidnapped in Mexico while walking her dog by Ghoast_manz

Probably not the cartels that did it.The cartels are very keen to not have the US park an aircraft carrier in the sea of Cortez and start droning the shit out of them.

I mean, the government has decent healthcare, especially for politicians. The People though, screw em.

I get what u mean but the DoD will pay for out of state abortions without a medical need they are one of the better aspects of medical care and coverage in the US and are closer to what we all should have. It's regular folks that don't get reproductive care specifically in red states.

Remember J-UCAS? The navy took ownership of that and evolved it into a number of UAV programs compatible with the carriers.

Remember, you only found out the US equipped Hellfire missiles with swords that can assassinate a man in their home when they deployed it. So while you know they already have a refuelling drone and all the investments necessary to launch drones like that from carriers, don't expect to find out a strike platform is ready until it already struck something.

When i was in Iraq the drones were launched from a small field next to our motorpool, so Im sure they probably can just launch them from Ft. Hood.

For one citizen. Very unlikely. Look at the past few years with other citizens

I don’t get why people think this is a possibility lol

It’s such US jingoism to think that the US would go to war so easily, especially in what’s considered an ally country like Mexico.

Yes, they’ll likely escalate pressure on Mexico, and also push for joint efforts to tackle on cartel issues if it became an endemic problem where cartel war was spilling over the border. M

However, crimes happening IN Mexico to US citizens the response would be so muted to the point of seeming ineffective much like what we see now.

It’s cute you think the US would do that for a single average citizen. Deluded, but cute.
