An insane video is making the rounds on social media showing a platoon of drug cartel sicarios flaunting their military-grade weapons and really expensive late-model armored trucks.

I mean it looks like an extremely well-outfitted military:

Look at the soldiers. All in matching uniforms and body armor, bearing the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) insignia.

Look at the vehicles. Late-model, American, expensive trucks. Do you know how much those new Ford Super-Duties cost? 70K to 80K, easy, just buying one off the lot. Add another 50K for the bullet-proof-ness. Then add God-knows-how-much for the paint jobs, the customizations, the mounted guns with turrets, the peep holes to shoot out of. EACH.

Then the weaponry. Military-grade. High-caliber, fully automatic, straight up war weapons.

I'd say we're looking at millions, maybe tens of millions of dollars of equipment in this little outfit.

This is why the cartels run Mexico. They have unlimited money. It is so sad. And it doesn't seem like it's ever going to change.
