Night Stalkers would be the worst unit to send in. They have no ground game.

Something like SMU or the Unit on the other hand could slide in and out of Mexico pretty easily.

Trump Is Planning to Send Kill Teams to Mexico to Take Out Cartel Leaders



The POTUS unilaterally ordering the execution of foreign nationals on foreign soil is a terrible idea and would be a war crime. But hey, the last clown that did this (Obama) got the Nobel Peace Prize for doing it!

You wont need a ground game for taking out cartel leaders. You hit them in their compounds at midnight like bin laden. These drug lords are known to live in remote area compounds w/ less collateral damage and tip offs.

What could possibly happen if we declare war on the cartels???

Apparently nothing on our soil in this bizarre fantasyland. We certainly wouldn't suffer another Black Hawk Down either.

People need to understand that the cartels aren't going anywhere and we're to blame for it because this country is full of drug addicts. The War on Drugs will always be a failure because of that. People like to get high. Just like they like their alcohol.

Isn't one of Trump's positives supposed to be that he wouldn't embroil us in various foreign bullshite?

Before any boots on the ground start off with some good ole mass precision bombing from B-1s and B-52s dropping GBU-31 2000lb JDAMS.

I love the man but it seems like a clear opportunity for the Dems to attempt an assassination and blame it on the cartels in retaliation.

The best way to make the cartels irrelevant is to legalize the drugs.

This won't happened because the DC Elites love their drugs.

We've had this thread once or twice. jjdoc was cheering on the idea of going to war with the cartels because Trump proposed it. Most everyone else said it was insane.

Nominations for the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize closed just 11 days after Obama took office. Obama was nominated less than two weeks in office.

Please try again.

There will always be issues and unknowns with any attack. That's why you send the best to minimize the risk. This is not about cocaine and weed, this is more about destroying fentanyl which is thousands of times more deadly.

Well any ground unit would need transport and that is where the 160th would come in. Unless it is a built up area no need for the Unit. Just simple ODA or Raider teams to call in drone strikes. Minimize your footprint while bringing in the pain.

The only ground game you need is total destruction of their crops and labs. All assets are seized and distributed equally among the nations involved in the destrution of the Cartel entities.

Offer huge bounties, for the Cartel leaders that are captured or killed, to any person, entity, or government responsible for such.

Donald Trump does not project what he would do in these type of situations. This is totally made up from the left.

Cartel’s already declared war on Americans lives. Mexico is a narco state so what they say and threaten is irrelevant

It's more than the cartels. The U.N. is facilitating the whole thing. They want global govt.

If I was asked my thoughts would be to deputize about 50,000 citizens to protect the border and mountain from any incursion with full immunity and an extra $1000 per body delivered .

All border crossings would stop immediately
