We can catch, try, & convict all the cartel leaders in Mexico, yet it wont put a dent in the cartels. Some other thug will simply take over each headless cartel & the crimes continue.
What is needed is liberal application of JDAMs, special forces & ranger raids to take or destroy cartel assets, & many, many dead cartel soldiers - don’t arrest them, kill them.
Fear of torture is the best deterrent. Livestream human shredding and acid baths, and a lot of crime will disappear.
