“...The drug war is the longest war in history. Why hasn’t it been won?”
Because the U.S. has not committed itself to winning - by bombing both Mexico and Columbia back into the stone age. To win, you don’t waste time with trying to intercept the mules - you take the fight right to those who are pushing this stuff into our country - The Mexican and Columbia GOVERNMENTS - both of which are OWNED by the drug cartels. perhaps a few tactical nukes dropped on the kingpin’s compounds - while their entire family is present - would set the right “tone”
How do we win the war on poverty?
Tactical nukes not needed. Some of those huge bunker buster bombs would do the job on a family compound.
