    Wishing does not make it so. This is so obviously fake. Why should the cartels give the US reason to go to open war on them?

      And also the cartels employ many of those law enforcement officers, because of course they do, because it’s much easier to smuggle dope when you own the cops. And they’re probably not going to want to gun down their own employees, unless there’s some good reason to do so.

        I would not bet on the US winning it, but I can easily imagine the current US regime starting the big “South American War”.
