Fast and Furious weapons sold to the Sinaloa Cartel found in Colombia
Unless you were in a cave, you have heard about the Fast and Furious operation, supposedly designed to take down members of the Sinaloa Cartel. These weapons have been confiscated in relation to many executions since, and now are popping up in Colombia as well.
Many people think that Colombia is fairly safe from the drug war violence since it had seen the worst violence in the eighties, but the reality is that the Sinaloa Cartel has been working in said country for a few years now, and the violence has been escalating steadily.
It will be only a matter of time that the violence gets just as bad as in Mexico. It has already started. El Chapo's hunger to dominate the world's drug trading is insatiable. The Zetas have been working slowly towards Colombia, and have nearly taken over all the routes through Guatemala (notice that the US is sending Marines to Guatemala to help rid them of the Zetas).
Once again, all evidence points to a favoring of the Sinaloa Cartel. A botched operation leading to thousands of rounds of ammunition and hundreds of high-calibre weapons being sold and delivered to the Sinaloa Cartel, operations in Mexico and the United States targeting El Chapo's enemies, and very few arrests and seizures all point to the veracity of the Wikileaks information and what most Mexican people already suspected that the US and Mexican governments have assisted the Sinaloa Cartel in its rise to power. Their justification is that it would be easier to contain and eventually take down a single cartel, which in a world of pure numbers might have held water, but in the real world is naive and ignorant.
