    In this case, it’s their neighbor who has been threatened multiple times recently on this exact topic. It stands to reason that the bellicose government is trying to manufacture consent for an operation.

          It isn’t a contradiction but clarification. Your response implies a binary truth where only one statement can be correct. I’m noting that both statements can be correct at the same time.

          Before you try to think I’m going to argue otherwise, cartel violence doesn’t justify an American military response.

            You cannot read. I’m literally endorsing a blend of the situations. Whatever. We see the same thing with different words. Take care.
