The US loves playing global cop while its own backyard is a free-for-all arms bazaar. Mexico’s threat to slap terror charges on American gunmakers isn’t just legal theater—it’s a neon spotlight on the hypocrisy of a country that lectures others on “security” while flooding conflict zones with its own weapons. The 74% stat says it all: Uncle Sam’s profit-driven gun culture fuels the very violence it claims to combat.
But let’s not pretend this is about justice. Sheinbaum’s move reeks of political jujitsu, leveraging Trump’s terror designation threats to flip the script. It’s a chess match where pawns are bodies in the desert and boardrooms count the cash. Meanwhile, the White House’s tariff tantrums reveal a deeper rot: cross-border crises treated like PR battles, not systemic failures of policy and profit.
The real tragedy? This isn’t governance. It’s a narcissist circus where bloodshed becomes talking points, and accountability gets lost in the chamber smoke.

Good for her. She’s right about the USA’s gun smuggling.
