Plenty of people know which mansions (and yachts and businesses) in Mexico are owned by cartel members. A different solution might involve a concerted effort by a multinational group to target and eliminate large numbers of cartel properties during the early morning hours on a designated day. 4 or 5 nations, each targeting dozens of locations, could simultaneously cripple multiple different cartels in Mexico. Other nations could do the same in Colombia and elsewhere.
Imagine waking up one morning to see the news that many hundreds or thousands of cartel members were reduced to moist chunks of goo overnight.
Collateral damage to their family members would ultimately be less than the damage done to innocent victims by the cartels if they’re allowed to continue with business as usual.
“A different solution might involve a concerted effort by a multinational group to target and eliminate large numbers of cartel properties”
That’s what I’ve always thought would be a way to handle cartels. Get the Israeli Special Forces involved and a few other select groups to go against the cartels.
The cartels are terrorizing the entire country of Mexico, murdering innocent people, chopping up family members of those who would go against them. They are a mini-Hitler with the amount of innocent blood they’ve shed in the past 50 years. Why not stop the cartels just as the allies stopped Hitler?
