We have to dry up the demand here in the US. That's a part of the problem.

We have to call these folks what they are....terrorists. Plain and simple.

They are a clear and present danger to our society.

At 3:30 am one evening, F-18s drop 2000 pound JDAMs on several dozen well known hacienda and production sites. At 0700am HSBC, Wells Fargo, and other dope banks are seized.

If you fight cartels and laundering banks aren’t mentioned, you aren’t serious.

Read the article. Formally declaring the cartels to be terrorist organizations will allow 100 million Mexicans to file asylum claims in the U.S.

A better approach would be to simply engage them at the border as an invading military force, and treat them accordingly.

Oh, and the easiest way to incapacitate them is to eliminate the demand here in the U.S. You can’t Make America Great Again when so many Americans are strung out on sh!t that makes them unemployable wards of the state.

We call ISIS a terrorist group and we’re not accepting millions of asylum claims from the Middle East....at least not that I am aware.

How exactly do we accomplish this "easy" task?

Option#1: Legalize drugs.
Option#2: Kill them all.

Choose one. I'm fine with either.

Only one of those options will actually have an effect on the demand though. The other would only temporarily slow down the supply.

Most of these responses are conventional and have been tried to a certain extent and have been proven ineffective against these people..

These people are barbarians. They use cruel and terrifying tactics against people they perceive as their enemies.

You can’t treat them the same as you do a more civilized soldier or warrior from an insurgency like those we have faced in the middle east. In the middle east, they kill anyone they can find and its often in a manner that is horrific to peoples of western culture, but they are still not as barbarous as these cartel members are because the cartels will go after the families of their enemies. Most upstanding citizens whether they are average joes, police, politicians, or military are going to be cowed by that.

The only thing that will defeat them is to play the same game. Kill and maim their families to the nth degree. If they want to make that part of their methodology then its ok for us to do the same.

I understand that this lacks civility and compassion but its the only way to win. Cutting the drug demand won’t do it. Sending in the troops won’t do it. You have to make them fear you as they fear nothing else.

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”

“Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.”

“To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.”

“who wishes to fight must first count the cost”

The solution is to eliminate the asylum program, declare them terrorists, declare the Mexican government illegitimate after suddenly seizing the Mexican capital, and setting up a right wing government in Mexico free of corruption.

At least that’s the dream solution in my head.

close the entire mexican us border save a couple heavily fortified entry points, everyone and everything gets a detailed check.

declare 100 miles deep into mexico a dmz border.

that becomes an active live training ground for the us military - all branches.

training ops to take out targets, test equipment and systems, test new strategies.

anyone in the dmz is a target.

Here's a good start, for direct protection of the border:

Here's a bit more, for hitting them at home:

Here's the rest of my initial force for dealing with the drug cartels, the thoroughly updated "Puff the Magic Dragon":

How about no drug needs on this side of the border?

Where they’ve legalized MJ, the cartels move in and undersell the legal merchants

Puff has been upgraded to a GhostRider with far more fire power than that Korean war antique

No they don't - they were already there.

and undersell the legal merchants

Where taxes and/or restrictions on legal supply are excessive.

Not easy, but if it could be sold, the strategy used by China Indonesia and Singapore might reduce demand.

Hanging for dealers, boot camp for users.
