    You think just switching to animals that dig underground would work like they got scientists and money to do government like things you think they could pay someone to figure out how to train animals like matbe send letters via fucking a mole rat or something like instead of using phones

    It's wild to think that even with all that technology and manpower, he still managed to slip away so many times. The logistics behind those tunnels are just mind-boggling. Thanks for the deep dive!🎉

    El Chapo was not the beginning nor will it be the end as long as there is a high demand for drugs from the US, the driving force behind the supply from other countries. As long ago as 1957 there was a demand for "weed" from Mexico. So all the blame belongs on the US for demanding and buying drugs and providing weapons to Mexican drug dealers.
