If there was ever a place on Earth that was screaming for us to enforce a no-fly zone, and use selected drone strikes, it’s Mexico. The haciendas of cartel leaders should all be hit in a Coordinated Time on target attack. At 9:55 some morning, 10 or 12 headquarters compounds of each major cartel should be hit with a devastating strike. A load of 2,000 Pounders on each one.
At the same moment, a company of Marines should be marching into the headquarters of every banks that has laundered their money.
I have often wondered the same thing. It ain’t like the cartel bosses are a secret, nor are their operating sites.
Illegal drugs are a clear and present danger to These United States and should be met with overwhelming force. Is there not a “War on Drugs”? or is it merely a police action? IIRC, even those were fought with kinetic weapons.
