So you don't see any benefit to society of getting rid of drug cartels, because others will always appear? I humbly disagree and would say that fighting gangs, not just because of their drugs, but their robberies, extortion, human trafficking and other despicable behaviors can help limit this kind of shenanigans.
Further, its more than just the USA that has drugs, Canada, Haiti, the UK, India, every nation around has people getting loaded on drugs.
Your question isn't a good question.
The US has been going after the cartels for a LONG LONG TIME. Remember Pablo Escobar?
The US got rid of him in 1993. Did that get rid of the cartels? Did it stop drugs getting into the US? Did it stop drug production?
No, because in 2023 in Ecuador, formerly not that violent, violence has been rising and a presidential candidate got assassinated by a cartel...
So... you have a plan to do something, it might have a temporary effect, but it won't have a permanent effect at all.
And I doubt the Mexicans would let the US invade their country anyway. Who trusts the US? Mexico certainly does not.
Yes, countries all over are getting high on drugs.
But you don't send drugs THROUGH MEXICO to get someone high in the UK... do you?
