I would hope it looked a lot like an A-10 Warthog.
We have an enormous fifth column in this country.
Much like the war against the Deep State. No punishment for the real criminals.
and there it is...
Kinda like the Alamo in reverse
Drug dealers, such as Big Marijuana, are big donors to the Democrats.

Yeh, if you mean the US drug users I agree. Step one is to decide what to do about them. Dry up demand and supply will subsequently dry up. Until Americans are ready and willing to do this. I mean hit it hard. Then, were wasting our time.
An uncorrupted Federal law enforcement agency arresting about 25% of Congress.
Drug cartels working along side our enemies inside and out to destabilize this country and bring us chaos. Open borders supported by the rat party and some never trumpers to allow full access to foster murder rape and chaos. The killing of our youth we depend on to protect this country in time of need with lethal poison. We are at war and sadly brought about by our very own
Well, a legitimate “WAR” would start with a declaration by Congress.
‘And theres a reason we dont win. We dont truly want to, as demonstrated by our unwillingness to do the hard things required to win. Could you imagine the Democrats siding with America in a war on Mexican drug cartels? If you can, youre higher than Hoover Biden at a strip club on a Saturday night.”
Mexico has drug cartels because the US has illegal drug users. We have obviously lost “The War on Drugs” in the US and for the same reason it will be futile to wage one in Mexico. Eliminating supply will not eliminate demand. Supply will be available so longs as the pricer is paid. Ask the Afghanis.
Do we want to take the harsh actions needed to eliminate demand for illegal drugs? No of course not.
Same principal for the deer population. It cannot be controlled by thinning bucks since just a few bucks or even one can populate the herd.
“...”drug dealer Whack-a-Mole”...”
How about the economic war of legalizing everything. This takes the PROFIT out of it, which is what keeps the cartels going.
I see nothing in the Constitution which gives the federal government any authority over what I put in my body.
There’s only a profit because substances that should cost pennies cost a great deal.
Let the users OD, a friend calls it the ‘Self-Cleaning Oven Theory”
Sending U.S. troops into Mexico would be a nightmare. We would have to take out (kill) senior members of the corrupt Mexican government who are working for the cartels. Colon Powell was right about one thing. If you break it you own it. We can raise tariffs and threaten higher and higher tariffs.
Good article.
The “Mexican patriotism” angle would be addressed by TDY (or whatever moves them) of SF to LE.
Big LE pay for our warriors. No US military in the battle.
An outrageous attack on US by cartels would be grounds for real war, even to the ‘Mexican patriots’.
The big issue would be giving cartel money to Mexico, and protecting cooperating politicians. officials and their families.
This article is a defeatist pile of shit. Trump can unilaterally close the Mexican border with troops regardless of the courts or congress. Do it President Trump. Lock the southern border down until Mexico cleans up the cartels, place individual sanctions on all crooked, cartel-linked politicians, businessmen, and corporations.
I like the way you sidestepped “US drug users” and then used the term “Americans”. Aren’t you cute.
