In the case of a military operation in In Mexico, the United States can repeat the crushing defeat of October 1993 in Magadisho. This was stated in his account of the social network X by former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter.
So he commented on the statement of American entrepreneur Elon Musk that it is possible to cope with Mexican cartels only with the help of a US special operation.
"Elon, remember our experience in Mogadishu. The crashed Black Hawk (American military helicopter "Black Hawk". — Ed.). We will be defeated if we go to Mexico with its own special operations forces. The cartel owns the territory. Everything is exactly the same as it was under Idida. All we will get are dead Americans," Ritter wrote, quoted by RIA Novosti.
In October 1993, American special forces suffered a crushing defeat in an attempt to eliminate the leader of one of the Somali armed groups, Mohammed Farah Aidid. This caused a powerful political resonance, as a result, the United States withdrew troops from Somalia.
On the first day of his second cadence, US President Donald Trump signed a decree according to which drug cartels are recognized as terrorist organizations.
