Invading Mexico to End the Cartels

[Senethro]

Lots of wrong lessons learnt in these parts.

 

[AmazonQueen]

The case is for legalisation to provide alternative supply

Legalisation for possession, treatment, and stop sending so many people to prison.
And stop providing 70-90% of the guns found at crime scenes in Mexico

[Zardnaar]

Terrible idea.

Only somewhat plausible solution is deregulation of drugs to undercut cartels.

 

[EnglishEdward]

I am in favour of Mexico invading the USA to elimiinate the supply of guns that are killing so many people in Mexico.

As the USA has a poweful army, that would best be done by subterfuge.

I.e. sending settlers North to out breed the Yankies.

 

[Thorgalaeg]

Second option can't be called an invasion, specially if it is a democratically elected government the one asking for help (and dont use this foreign army to keep power though undemocratic illegal means, so to do a coup). It is like a neighbor inviting you to a party at his home. Wouldn't call that breaking and entering.

 

[REDY]

I read that most dangeous in US are synthetic opioids easily produced or imported without Mexican drug cartels.
Dunno how defendable is keeping weed or cocain illegal but I somewhat do not understand how can one not taking into the account how "easy is to get" a drug.
I watched some videos and these drug users are not even hiding from the streets. It seems already legal in US?

I served in Central America during the Regan Administration. We cannot win a war on drugs. We tried. The bad guys simply have too much money and our guys are simply too willing to take silver instead of lead. Do not get involved in a war you cannot win.

What if a Mexican government OK’d an American-led joint operation to end the Cartels, but ended up overthrown by riots after a contested election with the new government demanding the US forces withdraw. What is the best outcome? What is the most likely outcome?

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Only if we take Canada too.

Not. Funny.

back to regular programming , ı see . The US Democrats are NOT superior to US Republicans in any way , but hey ...

Have to legalize distribution or it’s still gangsters enforcing routes by organized killings and spontaneous terrorism.

Ooga Booga time.

If you really want to undo the cartels and their business model, legalise and regulate what they're selling.

 

[Takhisis]

Hmmm, yes, we can re-legalise slavery and organ trafficking.

 

[Caesar of Bread]

I don’t want our kids dying in an invasion of Mexico!

 

[amadeus]

It’s really just DeSantis is trying to save his failing campaign by acting tough. Sad!

Not. Funny.

An America that stretches from the Yukon to the Yucatan?

 

[Hygro]

I don’t want our kids dying in an invasion of Mexico!

I don’t want Mexicans dying in an invasion of Mexico

 

[Caesar of Bread]

I don’t want Mexicans dying in an invasion of Mexico

I dont want anyone dying in an invasion of anywhere.

Can we leave Canada alone and burn War Plan Red into cinders?

Out of curiosity, if the people engaging currently in the illicit narcotics trade are put out of business with no substitute, traded for big industry now marketing and distributing with boards and profit margins to be accountable to like the East India Company - I wonder what ratios would make due entirely without, find a waiting and available enterprise above the board, or start robbing, stealing, or kidnapping. That's a lot of income and employment to displace. And that's not even getting into legalization increasing use for things like heroin, cocaine, crack, and methamphetamines. We might just assume relatively worthless low income people would be primarily effected, and that might be a relative win on the purge.
