A proliferation of violent cells competing with each other. For many analysts, this would be the worst case scenario because it would mean much more bloodshed.”

Their idea is they wanted everyone to be so terrified of them that they would never even considering standing against them. It's very different from the bribe and hearts and mind strategy that El Chapo followed.”
