Half of the Mexican government is likely backed by the cartel, and their new woke female president isn’t likely to go along with it either.
Not like they’ll be able to put up much of a fight, but their resistance and hostility towards US military presence might warrant an occupation, and a complete overhaul of the Mexican government as to be less prone to corruption in the future.
This would also have the added benefit of incentivizing so many Mexican, both illegal and legal to wanting to move back voluntarily. Especially if the Mexican government gets the Trump treatment to encourage their tourism and agricultural economies. Mexico could likely become a 1st world country.
She is Jewish, I just didn’t want to lead with that in my post. A trade embargo wouldn’t be enough to kill the cartels, they’d just wait until Trump leaves office. So it’s not a viable solution.
Trump isn’t talking about it, but I bet him and the white hats know this’ll lead up to a quick war with the Mexican government itself. Leading to my original theory. It’s the only long term solution to this problem, and it’s a war that the American people would actually want in likelyhood.
