    Pablo Escobar was one among many Colombian drug capos, and he had been one in a long list of former CIA operators that were deemed more trouble than they’re worth and had to be put down like the rabid dogs they were handsomely paid to be. The right wing militias that killed Escobar’s men weren’t arming themselves, nor were they getting sponsorships out of the kindness of the US government.

    Narcos in all of Latin America are just Operation Gladio with a different coat of paint.

      Yes, but as with all US puppets, some of them end up biting back when they figure out they have been hung to dry. See Al Qaeda, ISIS, or the Ukranians.
