THERE WAS ALWAYS more than enough trade to share around when Hunter Biden came calling, say Ecuador’s drug police, however, recent violence in the benighted South American country could indicate an amount of fresh spending so large that each of the cartels wants it for themselves.

“Hunter was always what the cartels call a snowfall, a regular consumer of their product,” according to Pablo Pablo, a former cartel hit man turned Catholic priest. “Predictable, you might say. But the belief today is that his various difficulties back in the old Estados Unidos could mean a demand so big that it would be what is called a whiteout, a snow storm so big that it’s a once in a century event. And everyone involved wants a piece of that. All of it actually. So our poor country suffers. It was always so, and so it always will be.”
