Um, a secure border might help

Joe Biden is responding to the staggering uptick in fentanyl overdoses by cracking down on the synthetic opioid supply chain, most of which is entering the U.S. by way of the southern border.

The president's imposition of sanctions comes as Republicans are upping their calls for military action in Mexico – and even conducting bombings – to stop the drug cartels from continuing the flow of deadly fentanyl into the country.

  1. I'm still waiting for them to impeach Mayorkis like they promised before the mid-terms.

    1. Be patient, they won't let you down.
      And if they do, then vote harder next time!

    2. The mid-term elections five months ago is the 1st time I hadn't voted since I was of age to vote. That was when Carter lost.

  3. Not only should we drone the cartels, but we should also seize *all* of Mexico's northern border states as a buffer zone and place them under martial law. Then, resettle the 40M Mexican and other illegals into this area. The Mexican govt. doesn't control most their land anyway, and they and the cartels could still thieve in the southern Mexican states, so it's all good.
    This would be a better use for the US military than squandering them in some sand monkey shithole. (given we cannot use them against DC itself)

  4. Get rid of the border. Put crack vending machines on every street corner. Allow purchases as long as you have state-issued ID that says you are over 21. All the fentanyl users will be dead within a month and the problem solves itself. As a bonus, we don't have an insanely expensive tax-suck of a government agency doing a shitty job and wasting our money.

    Oh, and repeal all gun laws so that the good people of America can defend themselves against brain-damaged drug users.

    Problem solved, and it'll cost way less than the solution you're proposing.

  5. Illegal Mexican pot was 10 bucks a lid.
    (Paraquat drove the price up.)
    If careful, one could grow it for free.
    Now, domestic Super Skunk is sold by the gram. Legally.

  6. 30 or so years ago I read a book whose plot was exactly this. U.S. Army mechanized brigade, supported by a couple of Abrams battalions, (I might have those strength designators messed up. I was in the Navy) invades Mexico, chases down all of the cartel leaders, the ones who didn't abscond to China or other parts south, and kills them all. Took about a three months or so.

    Knowing the constitution at the top of today's Army the cartels would probably win.

    1. It's a nice fantasy but the fact of the matter is, those cartels are deeply entrenched in the United States, especially in the southwestern States. There will be blood running in the streets and it won't all be theirs.

  7. I'd go further than that and guess the cia and atf are the cartels.

  8. Some say 'nuke Peking'.
    Some think 'go to the source' instead of half-way messing with those mezcun middle-handlers.
    .
    An aside:
    Do cartels realize they are expendable after fUSA collapse.
    Relying on chinese promises is probably a poor business practice yielding surprising yet, with the benefits of hindsight, predictable results.
    A study of history may reduce the astonishment factor.
