Why is it that the US doesnt treat this like a viable threat?
There are many people in the U.S. -- businesses and politicians -- who make a lot of money bleeding Mexico and depend on keeping Mexico a third world country owned by a half-dozen powerful families. Unless the Mexican government directly asks for help (which will never happen), the U.S. can't just invade and take over -- like they were Afghanistan or something.

Well, it's a nice thought, but it's not proven by the evidence. Life on Earth since day one has been one of brutality and a struggle for tentative survival. Love sometimes balances that out a little bit. But watch Animal Planet. Kindness and love is not the rule.

No...maybe three Ranger battalions supported by a armor brigade and a combined arms brigade about tens of millions of dollars per week.SEALs are in and out they aren't for large missions,mostly single objective stuff.They aren't going to put the US Military in Mexico.WAY too much collateral damage that would aggravate the Mexican community,as well as kill a black income cash cow.They couldn't care less.
