Abe put forth an interesting comment on the last post, with regard to the Cully neighborhood shooting..."the value of life in the USA is fast becoming equal to that of Mexico"

You can draw some interesting comparisons to what is going on in the North Caucusus region and how it effects Russia, and then compare it to what is occurring in neighboring Mexico.

Islamic beliefs aside, there are numerous corrupt clans with individual agendas fighting for power. Violence is inceasing, and spilling over into new areas. There are clans recruiting the young and unemployed into their fold. They offer hope and glory, either worldly or from the beyond. Importantly, the young recruits really have no other choice.

Get ready folks, we have only seen the tip of the iceberg with regard experiencing the extreme violence of Mexico. Some might argue it is already here.

Let's not forget the 10 police officers shot in the past 24 hours around the country.
