Back in October - Mexican official confirms cartel gunmen forced a dozen tanker trucks to dump gasoline at gunpoint
U.S. Reps. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, and Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, also signed the letter, which accuses Mexico of trying to “nationalize its economy and renege on its commitments in the USMCA as a means of empowering its failing state-owned petroleum company.”
Nationalizing it’s economy and thwarting our not so covert attempts at undermining it! The horrors!
What about the spirit of the US Mexico Canada Agreement ?!
USMCA more like US Marine Corp Agreement 
Plus, gasoline is far more expensive in Mexico, by about 125% in some instances.
Also Californians Flock to Mexico for Cheap Gas as Prices Rise to $6 in State
Californians are traveling to Mexico for cheaper gas, as fuel prices surge following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune and the Los Angeles Times.
Awwwww is Mexico kind of immune to your sanctions shitfuckery becauss it nationalized it’s oil and gas? 
Lol imagine nationalizing a widely used commodity to help manage inflation of costs being a bad thing.
Texas: it’s not fair! They are doing something that isn’t making massive profits!
“Make necessities cheaper? Literally 1984!”
Like shit, fossil fuels suck because they aren’t renewable. But they are unfortunately a reality of the present and loads of people rely on it atm. How can a country just sit back and let all of that profit go to waste?! I bet they don’t even profit off of insulin!
Mexico should be prioritizing real pressing issues like porn and trans people pissing, not gasoline prices
Texas: it’s not fair! They are doing something that isn’t making massive profits!
i like how they’re sending in their tejano shills to complain about it instead of the majority white leadership; i bet cuellar wouldn’t do it anyways if it he didn’t already know he’s a useful idiot for these people.
Cartel members force illegal gasoline importers to dump their gas directly into a field and Texas representatives start screaming about theft, lmao
It’s like the British screaming when their opium got confiscated even though they were told it’s not allowed into China
what were the tankers doing there, if mexico banned them?I totally forgot that Trump just renamed NAFTA so he could take credit for something.
Well, it’s so you can sing “IT’S FUN TO STAY AT THE US…M…C…A!”
Nah, it’s just so it wouldn’t be called Canada US and Mexico deal, which it was rumored Trump wanted it called. But unfortunately we were not allowed to live in the world where “Trump signs CUM Act” becomes a legitimate headline.
Not sure why they didn’t call it USMECA. Mexico’s the only one getting one letter, and I don’t see why that would be except for making sure Mexico knows its place or something like that. It’s more pronounceable as well.
wtf I love cartels now
We should all get together and set up a trap house to get the cartel leaders attentions
Why was the cartel involved in this? Why were its members seemingly doing as the Mexican gov wanted?
My
guesshope is a general “Fuck America” sentimentCIA has been too focused on Israel and Ukraine to be delivering weapons and drugs on time
Maybe the assets imbedded in the cartels are legitimately looking at Ukraine and Israel and saying “maybe working for Mexico wouldn’t be so bad”.
Edit: after reading the article it feels more like the CIA telling cartels to ramp up anti Americans activities in order to justify actions against them.
They want a 19th century trade war so bad rn.
It’s time for traditional reelection war next year, Ukraine proven their ability to project force seems to be lacking, Mexico it is then.
All I want for election season is a US army dealt a defeat on the field.

Ugh now conservatives are gonna bang the drum even harder for a war with Mexico. The scare mongering over fent is gonna be insufferable.
im rather fascinated how american companies thought they could ship & sell petroleum at a profit to a country that has done its own production and refining since 1938
like do they also ship timber to canada and try to force them to buy it? lmao (though Canada’s timber is private, so it could very well be being tendered at inflated costs an american firm could undercut, capitalism is the most rational organization of resources)
canada steals timber off indigenous lands and undercuts the americans. We’ve had many disputes with the yanks over it because its impossible to compete with theft.
the most reliable tendency in any inter Anglo conflict is a light speed race to the bottom
Who could have predicted this?
Did they dump it onto the ground or did they have some container they put the oil into?
the Sinaloan EPA doesn’t fuck around.
And is there a reason they didn’t just steal the gas? Like can’t they just steal the trucks and have some extra gas for free? So much better than dumping it
When will Mexico ban America
Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States.
Cardenas would be proud
And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the [ground], and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the… fuel.
worst criminal organization you know does a good thing
