>but you can be sure we'll fight a two front war with the US and the failed state of Mexico
>befofe we become occupied territory like the other border states
You are by definition an occupied territory and a good chunk of the Texan people got replaced/genocided after the US annexed the republic in the 1840's and the Comanche Wars of the previous decade.
But yeah i think texans and most americans can take front to the cartels, thing is the cartel members are not that silly to wage open war, their goals are strictly monetary and Mexico as a (failed) state has nothing in the pot to win sending either civilian soldiers or spies both are easy as hell to smoke out because they are racially distinct than the usual frontiersmen, the support from the cartels is from certain U.S. gov agencies given that they receive the payments, ammo and hardware from them aside from the transportation and that's a big question mark anyways because a well-known tactic that cartels use to launder money is buying brand new trucks wholesale from massive yards in Arizona and New Mexico to sell inside Mexico for considerably cheaper than local dealerships; when they break even they keep a bunch of trucks hence why they never run out of new heavy duty trucks.
Cartels operate inside with three kinds of people, the launderers who are your usual young adults just fencing whatever they can, the salesmen who are moving hardware in medium to small towns while also flinging small-scale pill deals and then you have the frozen elements, hitmen and the assorted family members who are way too hot to stay inside Mexico and are just cooling off in the U.S. until allowed to return, meanwhile they just work retarded/show-up jobs and live a relatively hedonistic lifestyle that do not match their income. The kind of guy who doesn't speak english but lands a good position in a Phoenix construction firm because he's the cousin of who knows, drives a brand new Camaro, does blow in the bathroom and gets drunk on cowboy bars often despite only doing 25$ the hour for 40 something hours the week.
For the sake of OpSec i cannot mention that much either i recently came back from a context where i saw all that shit directly hence why i became an autist regarding trivial things like the american public transport system in certain states, gas station food along with just downright hating how life is down there but i can say the lore behind what cartel members do or say inside is very funny, there's no way they will ever gun down people if americans RWDS out of nowhere, they will immediately start selling them guns and ammo rather than fight, no doubt in my mind most of these guys are the kind of people that will sell breakfast on the side of the highway and tip militias where the supposed scary cartel people are. They are 100% money or getting drunk over violence, the kind of guys who are ex-military and fancy themselves in satanic esoteric shit are those who roam around in tourist beaches in Mexico or some condo in big downtowns, not playing the tough guy in some small town around Arizona.
The only things they value over money is substances, those guys cannot stay quiet if there's no booze, blow or weed near them. Pussy too but i knew one guy who abstained from fooling with girls, he was a massive drunkard tho who texted his family as therapy.
The biggest enemy for frontiersmen, as far as i saw, was the casual nature of drugs, legal or not. No matter if the pajeets in the smoke shops are selling it or cartel delivery men in beater cars, the fact that everyone does something and justify it all the time made me sick, even hardcore energy shit sold in stores was dangerous. Seeing 50 something yo hwite dudes down a couple of C4 cans for breakfast and complain their chest hurt at noon was never funny to me.
