Yes, the J6 crap was abhorrent. That does not change the fact that Mexico has a huge drug and cartel problem, and it is incredibly odd that the Mexican government would be retaliating based on another country doing things to shut down the cartels.

Lets just be a little intellectually honest about it and not immediately default to assuming anything the orange menace does is automatically something we as a country should be against. I mean, 99 out of 100 times that is correct, but this situation seems to be an exception.
