This morning, the Argentine government declared the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) a terrorist organization. The designation, the first in Latin America, signals alignment with the Trump administration at a time when close ties with Washington translate into domestic political benefits.
Argentina is the first Latin American nation to designate the CJNG as a terrorist organization, following the 2025 designations of the United States and Canada. The move is likely largely political. Argentine President Javier Milei is a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, who describes him as "MAGA all the way" and a "great leader".
This close relationship has translated into real domestic wins for Milei. In October, the U.S. Treasury Department issued a 20 billion dollar credit line swap with Argentina, bolstering the devalued Argentine Peso just before a crucial midterm election. Milei's party, La Libertad Avanza, performed well in those elections, providing new life to Milei's movement. Argentina later repaid the swap in January 2026.
Argentina has a low homicide rate by Latin American standards, with 1,705 homicides in 2025, a per capita rate of 3.7. Gang violence is a key driver of violence, especially in Rosario. Some of these gangs work for the CJNG on a contract basis protecting drug loads. Cocaine seizures have spiked in recent years, jumping 65% from 7.3 tons in 2023 to 12 in 2024, according to InSight Crime.
The CJNG in Argentina - Money Laundering and the “Bobinas Blancas” Case
The CJNG's history in Argentina goes back at least until 2009, when Gerardo González Valencia, El Mencho's brother-in-law, established businesses for money laundering, as reported by Borderland Beat.
More recently, both the CJNG and Sinaloa Cartel have utilized Argentina as a springboard for cocaine shipments headed to Europe, by purchasing drug loads from Colombian traffickers, and paying Argentine gangs to ferry the shipment across Argentina towards port cities like Rosario, Campana, or Buenos Aires.
In 2017, Argentine police busted a CJNG-led drug trafficking ring operating out of Mendoza, where CJNG members oversaw a cocaine smuggling operation using industrial cable spools (“bobinas”) to conceal large quantities of the drug for export to Europe. Authorities seized roughly two tons of cocaine hidden inside the spools at a warehouse in Bahía Blanca in 2017.

ReplyDeleteRubio NYC stop your bullshit.

Delete“laws” meanwhile the woods worship that orange clown pdf. Ironic isn’t it.
DeleteBarksdale air force base getting attacked with drones...
Deletei am NOT HAPPY, disrespect is coming home because the "prez" got DOG WALKED into a war of choice by nethanyohoo and now the "prez" says it is all "Wiskey Pete Pentagon's" fault.
Ecuador's drug trafficking presidente is bombing milk farms on his way to "war with colombia" that never happened when alvaro uribe velez was the # drug trafficker, and picking on Mexico, and cuba whose #1 offense is they don't have tooth brushes to defend themselves because of the 70 year old US blockade, all this mess to obscure the fact that the prez raped and beat up a 13 year old girl courtesy of jeffrey epstein and their beloved "Enigmas" career of over 20 years.
The communists never could really KOMPROMAT the american rabble, it had to be russian oligarchs corrupting american billionaire wannabe pupoets of the rothschild class and we ain't got started with the Peter Nygard and others islands of captive love like US Virgin Islands, Bermudas and Jamaica
NO MORE 1913 or 1963 they killed your president in Dallas
DeleteThe only reason Milei designated them as terrorists is because they’re jewkillers and don’t forget who lost their assets in Cuba other than the Italians ((them))

ReplyDeleteDrug trafficker aristoteles "one as is" became a billionaire moving merca in US ships to the US, before Jackie was born, it is not like argentina home of the junta, the murder scene escuela de mecanicos de la Armada and stolen babies is a virginal parasite, milei is selling the Patagonia to the jewish and the jewish are burning the trees to build multifamiliares, that is one cartel full of shit, the cuiis don't exist there anymore; argentinians are exporting pimps to steal from rich women in other countries, for example, Ednita Nazario (tu sin mi)
ReplyDeleteBoludos are going to get DP by the cionistas and their greatest ally with their soon to be 50% devalued greenbacks. Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador and many other countries in América Latina are being infiltrated to be recolianized to extract their resources. How else will the USA pay back its 39+ trillion dollar national debt?
Delete9:58 good question, best answer right now is the orange orangutan POSing as "pres, king pope and best general ever produced by a military high school in spite of his chicken spurs", thinks his pretty ass is worth that and more, and his gang of Fingered Craigh list crashers believe it is so.
DeleteWhite appreciated boy here...
ReplyDeleteSol and Rubio.❤️
Just comment about the article.
DeleteWe don't 4to know if your Russian, Blue, white, , Black. Just stick to the article.
6:28 let the boys show their little "lady bugs", Senator Lindsey Graham is lobbying his rent-a- boys expecting they don't mind, after all, that is all we got for commenters and comments, only pot belly pigs are smarter, and prettier with lipstick on.

DeleteWhat Cuba would/could do with one million dollars? And all they are asking for is a little assistance from volunteers!

Please try to focus on reality, if only for this one moment.
Buffy Says!!!
12:29 Sol defrauded rubio...
DeleteTenia muy chiquita la pistolita.
Who the hell starts a comment with White boy? Contaminating the comments section MFker.
DeleteWhy would I be white boy? I’m Dominican. Even Som know what I look like. I don’t have anything to hide. You guys are hilarious though. Before a lot of that used to bother me. But now I see why even though Sol is a prick. He laughs at the shit that you guys say. It’s kind of sad that this site has gotten like that.
DeleteGood evening, everyone. I have to say that there are some people here with issues. I don’t know who this white boy is. But she definitely probably is related to Rambo. Or sir. Or any of the other characters that pop up one after the other. I’m Dominican. I’m light skin. Thank you guys for bringing me up in conversation. I guess when I start posting articles, it would be great cause I’ll have people reading them. I don’t know what else to say. This is hilarious.
DeleteThis is Rubio. I have to say that this site was better when they had the other section where people used to blog. I hope I’m saying that correctly. I don’t understand what the obsession is with me wearing red panties. But when I think about it being out of my next national competitive Bodybuilder and I hold a pro card in Muay Thai. I have a pretty nice body. Do you guys just let me know and I’ll post one of my Instagram pages so that the ones that keep fantasizing about me can actually get to see me and get off. Just like all the ones that were trying to get sold to post gore videos of cartel killings with sexual intercourse going on which is the reason why HEARST IS NOT AROUND. SOME OF YOU GUYS IN HERE HAVE VERY WEIRD FANTASIES.
DeleteI’m just trying to be contributor thanks to EL HUASO and his posting seeking contributors. But even after all of that, I wish you guys a great weekend.
Wow! Seems we have a bunch of democRATS posting here. Go campaign for dumala.
ReplyDeleteBoomer mentality. You think everyone falls under conservative or liberal? It’s not that black vs white my guy. This is why the [REDACTED] have an insane grip on your politics. RIP John F Kennedy the last chingon de chingones 👑 🇺🇸
Delete8 58 we don't have Carte Blanche to be stupids; yours won't cover you from the rain of BS coming your way, it has come to our attention that elon kusk had been stealing votes in Georgia, after checking for Biden's stolen votes, it was republicans all over doing vote fraud, and repudiated by voters all over the US, and we'll see it again 2026 and 2028.
Delete1:04 Bill ClInton was a great president, thanks to HILARY RODHAM CLINTON, his sin was letting one volunteer who had her own knee pads get too close to him, "coincidentally", she came to the Whites' House straight from the Watergate Building, i claim entrapment, the monicagate presecutor was ken starr, a jeffery epstein "friend".
DeleteSenator Gary Hart was entrapped courtesy of Adnan Kashoggi, another epstein friend whose yatch was owned by Rump! (It was reposessed by the bank for lack of payment), Hart could have been a great president, Obama, Biden and most of all above them, Jimmy Carter who never chased the millions and got dethroned by a bunch of drug trafficking allies of the ayatollahs, creators of all the modern cartels and dictatorships in Latin-America, the reaganautas bent on revenge for the nixxon impeachment, still busy with Operation Condor of the kissinger side of US Foreign relations.
The republican creed was all lies according to the republican writer who created it and denounced it in the book
"It Was All Lies" (or A Lie)

DeleteGary Hart?
Who talks about Gary Hart anymore?

DeleteOh yeah let's harras Tricky for being observant on Rubio's weird rants.
Argentina just follows the lead of con men and pedofiles maga to the core the idiot president said
ReplyDelete1:32 not all of argentina is bad, they are all fucked up worse for believing bullshit and electing milei on the basis of "hope".
DeleteThere is opposition there, from both women and men, specially former milei friends, and the #1 argentina product, female tango dancers, one even had Obama dancing with her in front of Michele!
@1:32 Maybe stop getting your news from Bluesky
DeletePeronism wrecked argentina, 211% inflation, endless deficits. Voting Milei wasn't "blind hope", it was ditching the same failed Peronist cycle.
Look at the results: inflation crashed from over 200% to around 31% last year, the first real fiscal surplus in over a decade (and again in 2025), poverty dropping back toward 32-36% after the initial hit, and GDP now rebounding with solid growth projected ahead. Milei has paid off
All hail Israel 😭
