What are your thoughts on Narcos and Narcos: Mexico?
Recently watched Narcos: Mexico, watched Narcos a couple years ago. Of course, the drug lords are scumbags. But I feel like it's also DEA and USian propaganda.

That series is very bad and it doesn't portray the total extent of the US tentacles favoring the drug cartel's narcos such as the ClA extensive cooperation with the ex Guadalajaran Cartel.
The "drug cartels" are terrorist organizations controlled and in the service of US imperialism. The "war on drugs" is an instrument of imperialist geopolitical power that traps people between the violence of drug trafficking and US military intervention. The drug cartels were created by them just like ISIS and Boko Haram.
The US uses these cartels to further their imperialist agendas in the region and the cartels help the imperialists to distract people from the exploitation that they are doing in the region. If you want to learn more, give this book a read:

So was the DEA just a way to pretend the USA cared?
Pretty much.
Do they mention how the Mexican cartels were armed by the US government and trained by Delta Force out of Fort Bragg?
No they don't
How much of this is does people in Latin America know? In government? In academia? General public?
