The cartels are too rich. They would start putting hits on all the politicians and military leaders. Their drug running networks would make an effective insurgency in the border areas too.
>The cartels are too rich
The US government spends in a day the entire net worth of all the cartel 1000 times over. If the US actually wanted them gone they would be gone, instead they profit off them and sell them guns. It has been like this since their inception, the cartel keeps the commies at bay.
Some of the cartels are so powerful and influential that Mexican police force would need to siege cities to get in
Foreign governments are also rich. Why don't foreign governments also do this?
>Cartels would put hits on them
The cartels have probably already bought some of those pedophile crack heads. Most of Washington are criminals anyway, particularly on the left but both sides with few exceptions.
Pretty much. I mean, we didn't like Escobar, pic related.
Why does Hunter Biden smoke crack, a cartel product, do illegal shit, and took bribes from Ukraine during the election?
What's Russia fricked up today? Is it that bomb dropping accident in Belgorod?
thats just regular facebook boomer babble
holy shit take your meds and go back to int, better yet, post a gun ( you can't)
we trade a lot with mexico, and they don't want to disrupt that.

Holy shit Black person
To avoid terrorism + some US agencies get they cut too
Unironically because it gives the DEA job security out the ass.
Why would we declare war on ourselves anon? That's just silly
Not much to do, the local government isn't powerless to the Cartel, they're part of it. If everyone's in on it, who is there to help?
The USA isn't willing to make a protectorate out of Mexico, which is what it would take to win.
The Mexican feds are by most accounts not corrupt but their sphere of actual control is extremely limited.
the cartels pay off politicians that's why
Because the Cartel are the ones actually in charge.
You can't declare war on organizations that aren't a country. Technically you can't do cross-border activities without either Mexico's permission or violating Mexico's sovereignty. Use of force below the level of armed attack isn't necessarily in violation of the UN charter. The US could do raids into Mexico without Mexican permission.
Anyways cartels hide among the local governments and good luck doing anything.
war on drugs has it's own wikipedia page.
>why hasn't the US declared war on the cartels?
Because we'd put boots on the ground, kill a good number of cartel members, sit around for 20 years fighting a never ending insurgency, and when we inevitably leave achieving causing a power vacuum which the cartels fill you'd come back and post "MUTTS LOST TO CARTELCHADS!"
It's not our problem, and little Timmy dying because he's a crack addict and got a funny fentanyl surprise in his rocks is not my problem.
we're literally next door, its completely different, we'd just commit total genocide if it got to that point and empty out our neighbors. not like it'll happen, we make too much money selling them guns and buying their drugs.
Because counter-insurgency in Mexico would be a massive disaster.
>declared war on the cartels?
All the US has to do is make all drugs legal and the cartels are dead.
The Cartels are run out of Langley!
>you kow all that money being laundered in Ukraine? That Cartel money, aka:Langley bucks. Do you really think a bunch of obese beaners could manage that kind of money, no less find a safe place to park it.
because cartels haven't declared war on US? just riding around with legal firearms is different from riding around in a technical while looking for people to hang from bridges.
Because Mexico already tried that. It was about 10 years ago the Mexican military basically had kill on sight orders and was actively assasinating cartel bosses
Problem was this made the cartels more unstable and lead directly to the rise of the ultra-violent narcos we see now. Killing the bosses just created a power vacuum and their lieutenants and captains would split offand form their own organizations to fight over the sudden vacancy. The winners would massacre the losers and anyone associated with them. That’s why all the big cartels from the 90s are either broken up or shadows of their former power. the new Jalisco is a textbook example of this.
The the US should declare war on Ranchera music
because they deliver our drugs.
Because America is beholden to weakness and senility.
same reason they dont declare war on cuba or canada
they know theyd lose
Cause they arent really much else besides a criminal org that would be like if the US started drone striking bloods in the 90s
Also gonna cause even worse of a border hopper crisis that can now claim to be refugees
america loves drugs and low iq browns
Why would they? Junkies are a good thing for the US government
Because we would lose.
Americans have an insatiable appetite for illicit drugs, and the cartel are more than happy to provide said drugs for money, and drug addled Americans are more than happy to fork over their hard-earned money for said drugs.
muh supply and muh demand
Because meth and fentanyl is killing White people in droves
why would they? agencies love cartels
every few years you can demand a blank check for milspec gear because "muh mehicans!" instead of doing anything about it
if the CIA didn't directly benefit from the drug trade maybe they would care
Because the intelligence community needs its black budget.
