Max discusses his analysis of recent U.S. operations against Mexican drug cartels, focusing on what he describes as Project Porttero. He outlines potential military scenarios involving drones, special forces, and air power, explaining rules of engagement and the cooperation between U.S. and Mexican forces. Max presents his view of how these operations might unfold and speculates on future developments in what he frames as a war on narco-terrorist organizations.
