And you think the cartel would stand idly by while the Chinese took over their turf and destroyed their biggest market?

True. In other words, it's time we get our s*** together in this country, so that doesn't happen!

It was a time in history that having a Black President was an "absurd" idea too.

Time to wake up, the alarm clock went off a long time ago.

What alarm clock?

Nothing is as absurd as your apparently sincere belief that a wholesale confiscation of Americans' guns (which can't and won't ever happen) will somehow cause the U.S. military -- the most powerful in the history in the planet -- to lay down its arms.

It must be a lot of fun to have such a vivid imagination. Have you thought about becoming a Hollywood screenwriter?

What can a Cartel of 200-300 drug dealers do against an organized Chinese Army of thousands with tanks, jets, AK's and all types of hand to hand combat skills?

please tell me?

They'll be wiped out in 24 hours, Cartel is too reckless to go up against a NATION. if they were that bad they would take over America by now.

Probably not much. Now how exactly could that Chinese army march 2400 miles through rugged terrain in seven countries while remaining completely intact?

please tell me?

And yet you insist that they're so all-powerful that they currently control the entire US-Mexico border and all the highways leading to it.

Please make up your mind.
