🇲🇽 — "The Mexican portal 'Milenio' reports that the cartel "Jalisco New Generation" (CJNG) has officially deployed an elite unit "Operadores Droneros". These are no longer just hired killers but a fully military-organized structure using modern military technologies.
What is known about the "narcomilitary" in Mexico:
-- Ukrainian trace: According to intelligence reports from the state of Jalisco, CJNG fighters underwent special training in Ukraine. There they were taught to operate strike drones and urban warfare tactics. This enabled the cartel to introduce military standards of operation: working in pairs, covering, and tactical withdrawal;
-- Technologies: The main strike force became the industrial drone DJI Matrice 300 RTK. Investigative journalist Jorge Martinez notes that this drone is widely used in the Ukrainian conflict zone for dropping explosives. It carries up to 3 kg of explosives, operates at night with thermal vision, and conducts reconnaissance at a distance of 20 km;
-- Military standard: The unit operates in groups of 10 people with a clear division of roles. The group has its own symbolism — the insignia "Fuerzas Especiales Menchola" — and mandatory video recording of attacks on GoPro for propaganda on social networks."

23SEP26 #Ecuador 🇪🇨 "An analysis published by CNN en Español examines several Latin American presidents who maintain political ties with Donald Trump and who, after winning elections with radical rhetoric, face social, economic, or governance challenges.
Among the cases examined are Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa , along with Javier Milei in Argentina; José Antonio Kast in Chile; Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia; and Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. CNN also analyzes recently inaugurated presidents in Honduras, Peru, and Colombia.
The publication argues that these leaders capitalized on public discontent with traditional governments and parties by proposing economic adjustments, security measures, and confrontation with their adversaries. However, it posits that this electoral strategy faces limitations when it must translate into effective governance.
Ecuador: security under question
In the Ecuadorian case, CNN focuses part of its analysis on the security strategy promoted by Noboa.
The president declared the internal armed conflict in ...
16SEP26💯%Choneros🚀"On Sept. 16, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM)
forces successfully interdicted a floating refueling station supporting illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific.
Intelligence confirmed the vessel's involvement with the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization.
Individuals removed from the vessel have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities. After clearing the vessel and disembarking the crew, U.S. forces sank it.
JTF-WHEM continues to conduct precise and professional operations to dismantle the logistical networks fueling narco-trafficking in the Western Hemisphere.
"Alongside our Ecuadorian partners, we are relentlessly pursuing narco-terrorists who prey on our citizens,
undermine hemispheric security, and leave death and suffering in their wake. This deliberate, lawful, and precise operation saves lives and makes our citizens—from Ecuador to the United States—safer." -

"It is an absurdity, it is laughable, to speak of such a
pending disaster as "The End of the World."
We are discussing the end of Humanity, or we are discussing the
end of Civilization, or we are perhaps even discussing
the end of some this or that Empire that we mistakenly
believe to identify with.
The end of the world will come when the sun
expands and engulfs it.
Now, is it truly a surprise that our discourse relates
economic tragedy with an ecological one?
That we actually behave as though a marked downturn in
the Market can somehow be compared to the death of Nature?
We are so enamored with our vastness and resource that we have forgotten the lark and the sparrow.
So I say, come armageddon. Come, you horsemen.
Let us speak these things no more."
