Looks like it's a matter of time before someone down south dies because someone up north couldn't stay in their own yard.

Pretty sad, really.

Both Anon and the cartels being highly varying organizations, and this it being impossible to speak for the entirety of either group...

I think the general feeling seems to be that neither side lost, but neither side is going to push it either.

Anon apparently got their member back, but a great deal of those involved (identifiers like "most", "the majority of", etc. being difficult to apply to Anon) also seem to realise that they couldn't have opened this up into an actual "war" without significant bloodshed.

At the same time, the Cartels didn't get any contacts blown and made vulnerable, but they also acted in such away that suggests they at least recognize Anon's potential for troublemaking, even if they don't think of Anon as a threat on the same level as rival cartels or the Mexican government.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

Needlessly altered your post.

There we go.

Anon is just making a bad situation worse, people live bad enough lives under Los Zetas.

True enough, better to leave them alone and let them have free reign.

The only time a Cartel was taken down successfully was the Medellin cartel in the early 1990's.

Also, except for Cancun and Los Cabos, just nuke Mexico from orbit.

America will require a new war in a few years.

Mexico is shaping up to be a real looker.

Venezuela coming right behind, or perhaps first, since it has oil.

Nonsense. Clearly the moon rabbits will be the next to fall before America's military might.

Negative, a new one is already lined up and already in the cooker. Based on US foreign policy, Iran is next to die in the US campaign in the middle east.

Not happening. Carpet-bombing the moon for months before sending in any troops is bound to be way to expensive, and the moon rabbits are likely to offer some nice, lethal resistance to that plan, too.

Just ask this one;

Couldn't help myself, though I've helped de-rail the tread quite badly, heh.

And why not? Just have the occupational forces in Irak stroll over the border and voila, your in Iran. Easy.

Moon rabbits are weak.

Also, there won't be any occupation forces in Iraq past the end of the year.

Be nice to America, or they'll bring democracy to your country.
