In this episode of "This Podcast is Not Real," our AI hosts examine the escalating tensions between Mexico and the United States as US military surveillance flights increase along the border. With President Trump’s administration doubling down on cartel-related intelligence gathering, Mexico finds itself at a crossroads.

Based on five sources, we analyze reports of Navy P-8 spy planes and U-2 reconnaissance missions monitoring cartel activity, Mexico’s cautious diplomatic response under President Sheinbaum, and the growing concerns over sovereignty and US intervention. Experts warn that this shift toward militarization could destabilize relations and set a dangerous precedent for unilateral action.

Is this a necessary measure to combat cartel violence, or a political show of force? How will it impact trade negotiations, immigration policies, and Mexico’s response to US pressure? Tune in as we unpack this high-stakes geopolitical power play and its implications for both nations.
