Trump Re-ups the Forever Drug War — How US Policy Fueled Mexico's Cartel Crisis
The U.S. has funneled billions into allies in the region under the guise of fighting the drug traffickers. It has ripped apart countries. And the violence has only gotten worse. Decades of fighting, with little to show for it except human rights abuses, displacement, and tens of thousands of dead and disappeared.<br /><br />In the last episode, host Michael Fox took you to Mexico City to walk through Mexico's Museum of Interventions and witness, first hand, the long history of foreign and, in particular, U.S. intervention in the country. <br /><br />Today, he brings listeners up to the present…. Diving headfirst into the U.S.-backed drug war in Mexico, which has overtaken the country in recent decades and fueled an epidemic of violence that has disappeared more than a hundred thousand people over the last 20 years.

How the United States Stole Mexico
Increasingly, Trump has his sights set on Mexico—promising to send in US troops in the name of fighting cartels and advancing a so-called drug war policy. But Trump’s actions harken back to an era of US empire much, much older.<br /><br />See, Mexico has withstood a long history of foreign intervention by the Spanish, French, and multiple times by the United States.<br /><br />In 1848, Mexico lost more than half its territory to the United States. The US states of California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and more used to be part of Mexico. <br /><br />Today, host Michael Fox visits Mexico’s National Museum of Interventions in Mexico City, and we look back at the devastating history of foreign intervention in Mexico amid Trump’s threats against Mexico and elsewhere in the region today.<br /><br />This is Episode 9 of <a href="https://therealnews.com/under-the-shadow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Under the Shadow</a>, Season 2. <a href="https://therealnews.com/under-the-shadow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a><a href="https://therealnews.com/under-the-shadow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Under the Shadow</a> is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present.
