Suero jaja Mexican Gatorade.
Reports coming Out That The explosion was an ambush of 3 national Guard trucks driving Down Kulkulcan. Two completely Destroyed and the third caught Fire and ran into the gas pump which then exploded. Helicopters are looking for the gun men who escaped on foot from the building across the street (caddy corner from us across Juanek and the big ass wall). Ambulances lined down the street. At least 6 GN dead and 1 cartel member.
Wtf.
Edit to add: set of explosions now from the opposite direction. Army now moving back along Juanek towards centro. Something def going on….

Add an electrolyte mix into it and youre probably much better off than real gatorade

What is insane is that your info is better and far more than even Twitter/X. Tulum is practically silent minus a couple fires on there
I've probably spent over a year of my life in total driving through all of those west coast Mexican states….tons of time in Jalisco, Nayarit, Michoacan, and Colima traveling, camping on the beach and in local motels, surfing, drinking Pacifico, and eating good food. I've spent a decent amount of time in Sinaloa, Gurrero, and Oaxaca too. Mexico has some of the kindest and most hospitable people in the world. To anyone giving people **** for vacationing there, you don't understand what an awesome place it is, or can be anyway.
But it is true that the country is now constantly on a knife's edge of war between cartels or between cartels and the government. There has always been an undertone of drug activity, particularly in Colima and Michoacan in my experience going back to the 90s, but there's no question it has ramped up big time since 2007 and is on a different level now. I'd like to go back, but not sure when it will be safe enough, if ever. Really sad.

We can see Juanek from our bedroom windows. Normally the traffic from the tope keeps us up. Tonight it's emergency vehicles and gunshots. Juanek is literally not 25ft off our back patio 4 stories down. Two of the kids bedrooms share Windows to the street as well. Were stuck. Behind us is a shoot out and the road in front of us is blocked by army trucks.
All we can do is move rooms.

Thank God you're on the 4th floor.
All will be well. Don't worry about it too much. Theyre shooting at each other and youre high enough that even ricochet won't be hitting yall
Until one side decides to to take civilian hostages. I will pray for your safety
Stay safe. My brother owns a condo there and he is not there but says he is getting word from neighbors about this. His condo is street level
I'd 100% support sending in ground troops to Mexico to support their government if they are serious about rooting up the cartels. This would only help America and Mexico in the long run.
On my honeymoon-- the condo we had booked shut down and was abandoned bc of potential hurricane concerns, but didn't bother to inform us.
Also, got two separate credit card numbers stolen while we were there. Vowed to never go back. Not worth it..

**** Mexico's government...they're so balls deep in the cartels they need to be shown a lesson.
We need to have Predators with GBU-39s saturating their airspace and then letting these lowlife scum ****ers know what REAL power is...
I'm hoping most of y'all are CT's with real world experience in this crap. I kinda trust this info

I think we all know that MOST of the people there are AWESOME.
It ****ing sucks that the cartel ****tards destroy the lives of the people in Mexico and cause all sorts of problems for EVERYONE that goes there.
Hell, I live in Corpus and the only town most people here we go is Progresso.
My GF grew up in McAllen and would go over the border all the time when she was a teenager. And now Reynosa is not a place to do that.
All because of the cartels...
They need to be exterminated.
F it. Let's beat Canada and take Mexico over in the same day. I would bet there are some leaders in Mexico that still believe in their country. We can help y'all.
I'm here for this energy. Burn it down.
We are the source of money that funds all of this. I want the cartels destroyed, but you either legalize drugs and make it a legitimate business or we kick our drug addictions.
100% agree. Obviously everything with humanitarian and drug related issues is far and above the most important and acknowledge how much sufferering and loss has come to the general citizens of Mexico, But selfishly I'm bummed I can't cross over like my parents did in the 80's and visit or know 100% I'm safe to drive to a ranch in Mexico to deer hunt. Absolutely love that culture and would go often if it was a roll of the dice.
Roughly 30% of Mexico's population has oozed into US. Looks like Mexico needs them back to rebuild, clean, pick fruit, and all the other jobs Americans will not do. Opportunity knocks with free flight an $5,000 buckaroos of more free money.

The cartels sell drugs all over the entire world.
Also, legalizing won't help. We legalized weed and now the cartels and China have huge grow operations all over the US.
Stay safe out there
This coming from the person who ran for president basically unopposed because the Cartel killed the other 37 candidates.
Mexican President said using force against cartels would breach human rights:

Cartel violence is being allowed in Mexico because President Claudia Sheinbaum works for the Cartel
— Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) February 23, 2026
A Senator from Mexico went on Fox News and exposed it all
- The President of Mexico works for the Cartels
- She was funded by money from the cartels
- It’s not just the… pic.twitter.com/SMtpEhsHda
Sheinbaum is a radical Bolshevik. She supports this chaos.

Mexico stable is the cartels at peace, the government, police & army on the take and the rest of the world buying their drugs.
It's going to take an El Salvador type effort to clean up the place and that ain't happening. Corruption is endemic and pervasive.
Genuinely curious as to how the country benefits from cartels or the drug trade. Do these *******s pay taxes?
1. It doesn't & I didn't mean to imply that. I only meant that "Mexico stable" isn't like "Poland stable" or something similar. It's more like "SNAFU."
2. Of course not. They are takers. The only time they give is when it is a bribe, and then something is always is expected in return.
Survived! Flying out of TQO @ 12:15 to ASE. We think It's a Good idea to let things cool for a week or two.
Thanks for the T&P everyone. Still kinda nervious What We Will see When We venture out.

Seen several people report the Mexico army and navy were working with the USA and not their own president to kill the leader of CJNG. I don't think this is going to be a 48-72 hour war.
I also think everything happening the past month is all connected. We have known since around 2012 that Hezbollah and the cartels have been training together in south America in places like Venezuela. Venezuela has known links to China, Russia, and Iran. The cartels have been probing the border with drones and come to find out they sent people to Ukraine to learn drone warfare.
I would not be surprised if taking down Maduro starting this domino effect. Both Venezuela and Iran lost a lot of money that day, the USA is putting a lot of pressure on Iran, the cartels try something around the border and we have to shut airspace down, and now the USA is working directly with the Mexican military without approval of their president.
Crazy times
It's a nice narrative but not true. They can't make that strike w/o CS approval.
CS has been much more pro active than AMLO against the cartels. No one exactly knows why. We can personally speak to it. When we moved here under AMLO, the cartels in town had free range: shootings, extortion, drug sales etc were the norm. Hell the Brother of the mayor and the head of the taxi union were both arrestes for murder for hire in broad day light on the beach. They were released the next week.
Now we have multiple dedicated checkpoints, MUCH more active anti drug patrols and a much stronger police presence across the state.
No idea Why CS has moved away from hugs Not Guns but I'm Guessing It has to do w whos president north of the Border. I think It's a choice between economic recession and going after the cartels. She doesn't want to be the first women president and flop the economy when morena is already sturiggling in alot of local opinion polls. Were in a MORENA stronghold (think D's in Philadelphia) and the locals here have stages protests against morena almost weekly for months. They have a super majority now but the shine is wearing off no pun intended.

Something tells me you are on the right track, lots of things started happening around the world once Hamas was taken out. Things started in motion then and continue today, Cuba is going to fall soon, cartels are now considered terrorist organizations, our military is going in full force against the countries that have ties to people like Iran. My bet would be that it's going to heat up a lot more and maybe real soon.
I think maduro solidified across alot of LATAM that FAFO isn't the best option and it's 100% on the table always. I think it's made alot of the leaders reassess the personal benefits to being so obtuse to the US. CS is no different. She can't let US troops overtly operate here but she can use Intel and hide behind training operations etc to basically provide the same cooperation minus the press.
Don't forget that Trump historically loved AMLO and has Praised CS. She's a socialista but one he knows how to use and intimdate.
Don't forget that CS and the rest of the MXN govt knows the US has multiple of Chapo's kids and El Mayo. They know way too much about las mordidas so they need to put on a front that they're serious about stopping the drug flow or they're toast.
