Just like terrorist cells that we took out across the Middle East and Afghanistan. That did not in the world terror because new terrorist cells just formed in their place. The same thing has happened with cartels for the past 40 or 50 years
no it didnt stop the terror cells....but it did reduce the amount and intensity of attacks on american soil and we have not had a huge attack since 9/11 for the most part
and as far as the religion etc around the cartel...that is more about the death threats to family members. Overall you are wrong on this part
you are right that the cartels will exist for the most part until you completely collapse the source and you make it to where the average mexican has a choice economically and enable mexican law enforcement to be able to handle the cartels as they spring up.

I would suggest you learn about the pseudo religions/cults built around cartel culture
No one is fricking dying for Santa Muerte or Jesus Malverde in Mexico like they are dying for the Prophet Mohammed in the Levant.

most future predictors were very bullish on Mexico provided they set up the infrastructure in order to take on the manufacturing that could be headed their way
Of course if it's viable and as lucrative as many think then you know the cartel would be waiting to get involved if the right security measures are not put in place
imo to fix mexico its a 3 step process
1) take on the cartels and kill as many as possible and keep killing them as the roaches pop up
2) fix the corruption as the cartel influence is leaving
3) bring manufacturing back to the US and mexico and make it economically advantageous to want to work in the factories
this also stops the influx of people to the US now that benefits have been taken away

Its entertaining to me to watch anyone, especially non organized forces, talk shite to the US military.
We are the greatest military force to ever exist.
They will find this out and then not understand how it was done so precisely and with little effort.

Why stop the drug trade when you can control it and profit from it? Not to mention profit from all the other collateral damage it causes.

I'd bet all the money in the world we have been doing this for some time.

Yeah Mexico becoming a manufacturing power is a big win for the region for sure

Happy to see our military being used for actual defense.

Me and a few guys used to have an office in Torreón for about 7 years for back end support for a business. We would fly in at least once per month to check on things and Torreón has a lot of US manufacturing there. John Deere being the largest. They have "colleges" that teach citizens the imperial system and English so they can work for American companies. That's why we chose there for our office.
The cartel did not mess with Torreón because Mexico told them not to F with the Americans coming there for business. I never felt unsafe in Torreón even though we were often flying there in a private jet and should have been targets for kidnapping and ransom.

Well, they'd have to be pretty stupid to not work under the assumption this has been happening for a long time.

They already have...some clowns from Noreste shot at the CBP a few weeks ago.
The four Cartels that have been designated FTOs (CJNG, Gulf, Noreste, and Sinaloa) have never openly fricked with Americans because of fear of reprisal from the US Government.
Now that they have been designated FTOs, the US Government is going to frick with them anyway, why hold back?

in the small chance this is a real question it is because we have created and operated the cartels since the beginning. The cartels are the #1 source of revenue for our black ops programs that are completely off book. Fast and Furious was no accident.

Finally, news of our CIA fighting FOR American interests.
Don’t get too excited. They are probably targeting CIA assets who know to much.
