Would an American mob or a Mexican cartel win in a war?

I guess it depends on which mob or cartel and in which country.
Let’s say for arguments sake it’s the Sinaloa cartel vs the Gambino family and they go out full on for each other.
I’d have to give the cartel the nod, personally.

Cartels are mostly organized and run by ex-military, many of whom were special forces.
If there was a real war with combat, it’d be no contest.

There was an interview with a Boston mob guy a few years ago and he said that the mob would have 0 chance and that the Mexican cartel would kill everyone they ever met

Cartel due to numbers and logistically they are a lot harder to get to.

Cartels have fought much larger and more sophisticated battles for higher stakes.

This and the cartels are willing to play in ways that the mafia is not. Mafia was all about the business. They killed when it’s about the money, and they mostly killed other monsters. The cartel will kill your entire family in front of you and in torturous ways.

Cartels would win. Now if it was a pasta war, that's a different story.

After watching the documentary on Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel, I don't think it would be any contest. That guy's organization literally waged a war against the Columbian government that brought it to it's knees. He was ruthless. I don't think the Mexican cartels have anything on Escobar's outfit.

That's a good question. There's no way to guess bc it would be so bloody and the mob would certainly hire mercenaries. Don't know if cartels need mercenaries. they already have plenty.

The American mafia is a shell of its former self. I'd put the Capone mob up against anybody.

Gambino
They would snitch to the fbi and cia and let the American government do their dirty work

Believe it or not, Escobar was #2. There was another cartel that was more powerful. They were just better at shutting the frick up.

Sure, with that attitude.

A cartel would have much more people. Also mobs are pretty much dead. A cartel can do more in Mexico than a mob can in America

Who was considered #1. Most of my info in the subject comes from Narcos so take that for what it’s worth
And my vote is cartel in a landslide. They have no unwritten rules like the American Mob

I’d definitely bet on the cartel. Go to liveleak.com and look up Mexican Cartel and you may get PTSD.
Edit: Here is a good example. Don’t click if you’re not good with blood.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you

The mob is a shell of themselves. The cartels would destroy them.

No he wasn't,not when he was at the top of jis game.There was no other Cartel more powerful or who controlled a bigger % of the supply.

The Cali cartel (in season 3 of Narcos) was considered by the CIA to be the largest crime syndicate in the world at their peak.

Yes there was. The Cali cartel controlled 90% of the cocaine shipments in the world at one point. They were far more global than Escobar’s cartel.
