Recent Mexican kidnappings/murders. We need to start dropping some bombs on the cartels.

Instead we could drastically beef up border security, cut off as much access to the United States as possible, restrict travel of Americans to mexico, even popular tourist zones. Cut off the spigot completely.

Talk to those in the government who may actually want to do something about the cartel problem and we will see how quickly they take care of the problem themselves.

You want us to bomb another country?

I love it. Let's do it.

Obama would be proud!

Mexico has abdicated control over their own country, so they aren’t in a position to bitch about someone else fixing their problems.

The problem is they’ve already got some many cartel members across the border into the US that they would just retaliate here at home on innocent people. The logical thing to do would to be have better border security and start there. That would be more productive than bombing a bordering country

Biden won't do shite to terrorists. DeSantis or Trump would eventually start using drone strikes on cartel ops.

Prohibition puts drug markets under the control of cartels. You bomb them, more show up.

Where there is a profitable market, there will be a supply.

I ain’t for getting our military involved in any unnecessary war but Mexico could use one division of U. S. Marines for about a week and wrap this shite up.

Its at least a 150 billion dollar black market in the USA. Where there is a viable demand, there will be a viable supplier.

Its economics. You can't kill it. No matter what we do to stop it, the black market will produce viable alternatives.

Temporarily. New gangs will pop right up. Way too much money involved.
