I feel as if we shouldn't Help Mexico if they do not wish for our help as it would be wrong to force help on another country that might be able to handle it on their own.

I agree, we shouldn't meddle with dangerous entities in other countries if we don't want to get into trouble ourselves. Declaring a drug war on the cartel would cause a lot of trouble in our own country.

 @B8XVMTK from Wisconsin  disagreed…6mos6MO

I personally think we should offer our help and offer our resources to assist but if they refuse then we can respect that but when they come back we can still help them

 @B8YPGL5  from Michigan  disagreed…6mos6MO

I agree with your stance, but not your reasoning. The drug cartels are something that involve us also, but to fight them is a huge risk for our nation.

 @B8X7XYX from California  disagreed…6mos6MO

Even if mexico doesnt want U.S. help, the effcts of cartel violence dont stop at the border, they directly impact americans through drug trafficking, fent deaths, and illegal firearms .

 @B8XNX36 from California  agreed…6mos6MO

I neither agree nor disagree with these statements. I feel that we should offer our help to Mexico if they need it, whether it may or may not look like they need the assistance or not. I agree that we shouldn't force out help on others but we should offer it to others if they do in fact need our help.

 @B8XJQPL from California  agreed…6mos6MO

that is correct, but since most of the cartels are abusing power and are taking over control of certain places of mexico so that they can take their money, the only reason why mexico doesn't want help is because most of the government is sided with the cartel because they threaten and try to hurt their own family so they are scared and if they were to need help we should help them but they are scared to ask for help.

 @B8X6D4T from California  disagreed…6mos6MO

The Cartels have increased in size and strength if the Mexican government had the ability to fix its faulty aspects it would have done so already.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
