Yeaaahh, since US government policies are the entire reason that that drug war exists, Id say thanks, but no thanks.

Edit: to expand a little on this: US drug policy caused the entire drug trade, the high prices, and the extreme violence. The US then doesn’t send their best, they send their weapons, and they send them knowingly straight to the cartels (thanks, US gun manufacturers!). US government actually supported this for a while to see if it was true and… Did nothing with that.

Then US army would train Mexican soldier which then took that training straight into the Zetas which murdered even harder.

At this point, I can only say “FIX YOUR GODDAMN DRUG POLICIES, YOU @SSH@LES” and keep away, please.

I’m pretty sure this has nothing to do with anything beyond Russia wanting to use him as a bargaining chip
