Yeah I'm sure that factors in also. Drug cartels I am sure influence politics with their billions of dollars and strong arm tactics.
The media in the US will always highlight any journalists or political opposition that get murdered in Russia. They use these cases to stir up opposition and resentment towards Russia. But hardly a day goes by when either a journalist, someone from law enforcement, or a politician in Mexico get assassinated by the cartels. The cartel tactics are reminiscent of ISIS and all Quaeda, whose tactics have been used as justification for US military intervention in the Middle East. There are kidnappings, car bombings, beheadings, people lynched from freeway overpasses etc. And instead of addressing these issues the establishment and the mainstream media in the US advocate for open borders with Mexico.
