    I don’t believe that. Other Central and South American countries have had success meeting the cartels head on.

    Sure some short term death spikes but the long term result is a drastic reduction in violent deaths.

        You make it sound like I’m a dictator forcing people into a war.

        I’m just being pragmatic. They have a large military tasked with protecting their citizens. Some of the Cartels are very much arguably terrorist organization. Indiscriminately murder and torture people in a very public way in order to scare others.

        Fighting them would probably be painful at first but it would make the country a safer place in the end.

          Not your call to make or even think about advocating for, ESPECIALLY not in the year 2024, gringo; continually talking like it is just outs you as a yankee chauvinist

            Ok you got a serious cass of brain rot. I guess this is what I get for replying to a .ml tanky.

            No shit it’s not my call to make, I’m not a Mexican politician. However this is a English forum discussing the topic. Just because I’m an American doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able to talk about a topic. In fact Cartels and America is pretty intertwined. As is Mexico and America.

            Not really sure why you are so adamant on defending the Cartels.

              You really think I’m gonna side with genocidal Amerikan suburbanites on any geopolitical conflict after the last twenty years of Anglo bullshit inflicted upon the world at large? Ion’t believe shit you just said. Physically can’t.

                Ahh it finally comes out. You’re just a hateful individual. You’re so blinded by whatever hateful propaganda you have been eating up over the years you can’t even have a normal discussion on a topic with an American.

                And more assumptions. I live in a big ass city :)
