America: Losing the war on drugs since at least 1970.
Infodataplace on
this is one of those stories that reminds you how messy and risky this whole “war on drugs” actually is
these weren’t frontline soldiers, but they were still pulled into something that sits in this grey zone between intelligence work and active operations… and it still ended in people dying
and the bigger thing is how quiet all of this usually is, expanding roles, cross-border cooperation, political pressure, until something like this happens and suddenly it’s visible for a moment
four people dead, and it raises more questions than answers about how far this kind of involvement is going

Mexican officials said the car skidded off the road, fell down a ravine and exploded
Horrible but is this suspicious?

Where’s Trey Gowdy when you need him to do a hard-hitting investigation?

What’s that old CIA nugget? Oh yeah: „Don’t get high on your own supply.“ Especially since they’re pushing fent.
LMFAO

And the Mexican government had no clue US officials were on the ground assisting with these missions, which breaks Mexican law.

You know, I’m no expert, but dying on foreign territory as a CIA spook and it being publicized is sub optimal.

I feel like the drug issue could pretty easily be solved if the US focuses on demand-side stuff.
Without a warrant, you can sample sewage to screen for metabolites and follow the trail to areas of high concentration. Enhance your police presence there, just stop people for completely legal reasons, and you’ll find the drugs.
Why don’t we do this? Because those tactics would concentrate police in affluent areas.

Potentially unsanctioned is the term preferred over “illegal”

To be fair CIA is among the most immoral organizations in the world … so are the cartels.

We’re they doing counter narcotics or pro narcotics operations? Hard to tell with the way the CIA works.

This would be an insane scandal under any other administration.. with resignations, trials, investigations, etc.
It’s just another Tuesday under the Trump administration. No one cares, or at least cares enough to do anything about it. It’s just an accepted loss now. Interesting how times have changed I suppose.

Extremely surprising this is publicized.

I don’t really know how to rate this kind of news. Pro-CIA or anti-CIA?

😄 o rly?
I feel like we’re not supposed to even hear about this.
Is this how incompetent the entire system has become?
Burn the motherfucker down.
Remember [STUXNET](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet) and people wondered how a computer virus was snuck into Iran’s nuclear centrifuges? They hired this guy: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_van_Sabben](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_van_Sabben) to upload the malware. He also died in a crash in Dubai in 2009.
We didn’t know this until… ***2024.***
