Yep, it seems pretty certain now that Obama and his Joint Chief of Staff Mike Mullen are planning on helping President Calderon and his all out war-on-drugs. On Saturday President Barack Obama was briefed by Mike Mullen on the situation (yes, the situation) in Mexico, and how it's possible for the US to help. Yes indeed, you heard correct: The US plans to help. As a matter of fact it seems that Obama's administration and Mullen have been sharing intelligence with Calderon in terms of fighting the drug cartels. The recent (relatively recent that is, which means not recent at all) surge in violence among the Mexican drug cartels is pretty much due to a power struggle happening over the drug routes since the major cartels have been destroyed by Calderon. All the smaller gangs are now going after the routes and fighting for power. This same violence is now spilling across the border in places like Arizona. It is adventageous to both President Calderon, and President Obama to help each other out. Or in this case help Mexico from becoming a (seemingly) failed state. Thus this shows the trends of globalization and shows how the United States is trying to mantain its reach for the hegemonic status by helping (or so we think) the smaller and more fragile nations. Whether they can pull through or not is up to speculation. However, with the added benefit of OPTIMUS PRIME, who can fail?
