A bunch of well armed Mexican gangsters are a force to be reckoned with======by unarmed Mexican civilians, corrupt politicians, police and military personnel.

However, the U.S. military will push their shite in with ease, and it wouldn't be pretty.

Like Al Bundy would say------"Let's Rock".

Just have a AC130 gunship, a couple of A10 Warthogs and a couple Blackhawk choppers circle the LZ while the landings are taking place.

Generally the cartels only kill people who cross them / compete with them / get in their way.

They aren’t killing a random who doesn’t want to buy drugs.

Yeah, like Hamas and Hezbollah, the Cartels think quite a bit of themselves and talk a lot of shite.

However, it is they who been conditioned into thinking we won't respond. Unfortunately for them, there's a new sheriff in town who certainly will.

The cartels are smarter than this. They will just try to lay low and hope a democrat is in office in 4 years

This is why you designate them as terror orgs but you don't go kinetic south of the border in a preemptive fashion. Let them make threats. You can then start a lot of wheels turning just based on threats. If they then take action, you have justification, you get 100% support from the American People, and you can level everything tied to the cartels.

Would need some pretty heavy duty missiles unless maybe they put them at the airports. Something like a Patriot missile to shoot at 30k feet. Pretty unlikely.

Go look at the capabilities of Stinger missiles.

They won't announce what they are going to do. They don't care about stuff like this. It hasn't interfered with delivery of their product .

They're businessmen first and foremost. Politics is not their thing, at least not something like this.

How will they know which planes to target??
Also, as if they won't be experiencing enough problems due to being labeled terrorists groups, now they are talking about shooting down American planes...????

Honestly, I don't know if I believe this. The leaders of the large cartels aren't stupid people and shooting down American planes is an insanely stupid idea.

Yeah, that would be suicide. If you are making decisions for a cartel and you want to guarantee that every member of your family will be assuming room temperature in the very near future, shoot down a U.S. aircraft.

When was the last time the cartels announced something so stupid and irrational publicly, for international "news"?
