Notorious Ecuadorian crime gang designated a terrorist group by US

Comments

1. Cipher Wolf: I'd expect the Trump admin to try and leverage this designation for more funding, but dismantling an entire gang like that sounds like a tall order. Have they even shown what makes
2. Ember Serpent: what's the connection between this and their supposed narcotics trafficking?
3. Iron Pulse: Ecuador's problems don't start or end with their gangs - have we seen anything being done about the infrastructure that lets them thrive?
4. Hex Echo: it's striking that the escalation of force is happening now, given their history of violent takeovers
5. 🕊️ Guillaume Flores: who else thinks this is just the Trump admin finding new ways to justify more funding and get attention after they got shut down in Florida?
6. Ghost Beacon: graffiti on that wall is actually the least of their problems 🚮
7. Ninaholtxo: surprised the US waited this long to act, given the station takeover was all over social media weeks ago
8. Mila: You'd think they'd try a more nuanced approach first though, before throwing around the T-word
9. Glitch Jackal: what kind of operation storms a TV station on live broadcast?
10. Silent Halo: it's wild they're linking the TV station takeover to narcotics trafficking, always seemed like more of an ideological play to me
11. Sanakarim: what's the play in dismantling them though - don't they have ties to other areas?
