I love that kind of creative thinking!
Personally I think we should make it clear to the cartels that we now have a zero tolerance policy and will hunt down and kill cartel leaders and personnel who traffic fentanyl. Also that we will close the land border to all traffic until concrete actions are taken.
At the same time we need to indicate to China that this is a red line and that further exports of fentanyl components to Mexico will result in confiscation of all Chinese national assets in USA which will be redistributed to victims families.
This is the equivalent of the opium wars and we need to get serious.
“This is the equivalent of the opium wars and we need to get serious.”
If you were serious, you would throw users of fentanyl in jail, not just dealers. The “drug war” that fails to hold people accountable for their own actions is not taking anything seriously.
