With U.S. arms flowing again to Ukraine and the Trump administration pushing for a ceasefire in the war with Russia, former Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor delivered frightening news during an interview with Tucker Carlson for The Tucker Carlson Show.
The drug cartels that control Mexico have U.S-made Javelin anti-tank missiles, presumably purchased on the black market after the United States sent them to Ukraine.
Carlson said much the same thing to NewsNation talker Chris Cuomo. American weapons intended for Ukraine have landed on the black market.
If Javelins are in Mexico, then the cartels have one of the most potent weapons used by American soldiers and Marines.
Known among some soldiers as “the best war fighter the Army has got,” West Pointer Macgregor offered Carlson a harrowing evaluation of what goes on in Mexico. For all intents and purposes, the cartels run the country, he said.
Noting that Americans care less about Ukraine than they do about what’s happening at the southwest border, Macgregor said he spent three days there recently, and called Mexico a “cesspool of barbarism, savagery, criminality.”
Mexico, he said, is America’s “existential threat. Not China, not Russia, not Iran, not anywhere.”
President Donald Trump “can manage those things,” but Mexico is an altogether different threat to the United States.
Continued Macgregor:
This thing down on the Mexico border is really at a boiling point. We need to understand that. The cartels run everything. I mean, we hear about this President [Claudia] Sheinbaum and Mexico. Forget it. You know, she controls 40 square kilometers in Mexico City. This whole thing is an organized crime state. Everyone in Mexico knows that if you go to Mexico city … they’ll tell you flat out well, don’t go there and don’t go here and don’t go there. And don’t ride in this cab. And don’t take this automobile. Don’t go to that airport. Everybody knows the truth.
