GOP talk of military action in Mexico sparks dire warnings

I'm sorry, but do you have the same position on gun laws (about nannies)?

Cause we are talking about heavy narcotics, that usually don't give you a second chance. Guns don't make you physically, medically dependent and unable to reconsider.

If that's your point of view on narcotics, then in it one should also be able to own an Abrams tank with all the weaponry, legally.

Now, light drugs are fine, but Mexican cartels don't deal in that.

So you're in favor of banning alcohol and sugar, right?

Mobs? What mobs? Cartels are not dynamic groups of temporary people. Cartels are organized institutions adept at dealing illegal goods. It would be trivial to harm their business by undercutting prices and making drug use safe in sanctioned areas. Reducing their cash flow is paramount to reducing their power. That can be easily done by legalizing and regulating drugs. It doesn't matter if the substances are dangerous. Would you do crack or heroine just because it is legal? I wouldn't. I know its unpopular, but legalizing drugs is the best way to harm the cartels. People are already doing theme at epidemic levels with them being illegal, I do not see legalization exacerbating that situation. Especially if sanctioned spaces are provided to keep them off the streets.

You are exactly correct. We can legalize and sell marijuana (and certain other drugs, probably psychadelics. That's for experts to decide.) like is already being done, but you simply cannot have recreational use of drugs like narcotics and cocaine.

They are simply too irresistible. It would lead to a massive public health crisis with phenomenal social consequences and so, so much death.

Now, I think drug abuse needs to be treated not criminally, but as the health issue that it is.

However, there will still be demand, and that will have to be fulfilled illicitly.

Have you experienced either? I didn't think so.

You forget an important component in Afghanistan though. The US heavily supporting the muhajjedins that later became the Taliban, to mess with the UDSSR. I think it was even in Rambo 2 or 3 were the dedicated the ending to the "brave fighters".

Now the CIA is on the same side. Unless they are still pulling some Contra style stuff in Mexico, which also wouldnt be too suprising.

A destabilized Mexico is what they want, they'll use it to annex Mexico and make Sam Houstons intent reality.

The US has military bases all around the world and strategically a hostile nuclear power winning a war in Eastern Europe is far more severe for the geopolitical position of the US, than Mexico being in its shape since decades. Its just that the GOP and Trump have some interesting ties and suprising cash flows with Russia.

They also want to normalize marrying that 13 year old.
