What about the Cartels specializing in Gun Trafficking and Human Trafficking? Those need to be taken-out too.

nah not until the CIA have finished arming them all so the Mexican government can no longer deal with them and they eventually call in the USA for some assistance , the US then turn mexico into a puppet state and mexico becomes US territory!

Let me see if I have this straight,
The US invaded Afghanistan which (somehow?) led to a huge increase in heroin production, and a huge increase in overdose deaths back on US soil, and your proposed solution is to invade Mexico?
I'm sure that one of us is being a tool here, I'm just wondering which one? 🤔

Also there was the incursion of the Mexican military disarming an American soldier in our territory.

Do you have any idea what the gov does to cartel members when they get busted in the US? They take their homes, cars, and anything they own that's not nailed down. Do you know what happens 99.9% of the time they get caught in Mexico? Nada damn thing.
Honestly, you suggested in the OP that the US should go to war against a country of 123 million people, to try and stop the cartels which probably only number in the low thousands.
What are you even talking about??? No where in this thread did I ever suggest or say that we should go to war with the cartel in Mexico. As matter of fact I suggested it's a really bad idea and always ends in fail. You've confused me with the OP or someone else.

Apologies, I was just so appalled that someone would suggest such a thing, that I didn't check who was posting what.
My bad. Please forgive me.

It is surprising to me that the majority of posters want to make drugs legal.
As far as knocking down the cartels, that would make sense. I see that. You would get rid of the cartels but you would bring the problem in-house so to speak.
It would also mean that drugs would be cheaper, more people would be taking them and more would be dying.
Each year 40,000 people die driving on US roads. Imagine how many more would die if drugs are legalized.
"The National Safety Council report calculates that the chance of dying from an opioid overdose has increased to one in 96, surpassing the odds of dying in a car accident., which is at 1 in 103." - Google
Heroin is a drug that kills. As long as you have it around people will die from it. That drug needs to be eradicated and unavailable.

You can't compare alcohol to coc aine. Cocaine was designed for rape. A lot of gangsters used it to rape women in bars by spiking the drinks, that is why it started to sell first place. Criminals used Cocaine to rape people and deliberately kill people. They do it by spiking food or drink.
Alcohol was there since forever. Almost every country had alcohol drinks. Cocaine though can kill you in an instant overdose. Ever heard of Drunk masters from China? You will never hear anything about white crack kung fu masters. Cocaine is basically poison that will either kill you instantly or slowly.
This is another cheat poison/drug the blinds the opponent used in fights for example in this movie call Bloodsport.
Coca is poison, it will never be legal. By spiking the masters drink. You have a chance to kill the person easier. If you watched Chinese kung fu movies, you'll understand what coc aine is would be mainly used for if it becomes legal. It is one of many poison, but not deadly enough to kill the person in an instant.
If non-drunk person dies from drinking a wine in an instant, it is not alcohol its the extra poison/drug added in the drink.
