The USS Nimitz is presently off the coast of Mexico, directly opposite the Mexican state of Sinaloa, where the "Chapitos" Drug Cartel is based.
HMMMMMM. First a "Rivet Joint" military surveillance aircraft transited the air space just off Sinaloa (Story HERE), now an American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is near the same place.
Maybe the Drug drug cartels being designated as "Foreign Terrorist Organizations" means something none of them ever encountered before?
Maybe the drug cartels really are dead men walking?
