    It does lead the way for false flag though.

      This is a scary scenario. We've know for more than a decade that the potential for certain terrorist groups working with the cartels to move people and weapons along the drug routes was a win-win for both parties, and a lose-lose for us.

      A low-yield (relatively) tactical warhead taking out a chunk of a near-border city scenario needs only the bad actors acquiring one, and I didn't think anyone was going to take border security seriously until it happened.

      Until a couple of years ago, I would never have thought The US government might do something at that level as a false flag. So many things that were believed to be tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories about rampant corruption and rouge 3-letter agencies are being proven true that it might not be that big a surprise if it happens.

      @NotWearingPants -

      We see things in agreement. Sadly.
