That sounds like an authoritarian nightmare. Its bad enough with US stormtroopers imposing US will around the world. We do not need a supranational entity raiding sovereigns for what they perceive as a problem.
- Nasrudith 6y agoPlus economically it is certifiably insane - destroying competitors and reducing the supply for a relatively fixed demand is subsidizing the same problem they are fighting against. If stability was the number one priority the proper thing would be to have the government provide the supply for too cheap to compete with. Fill the power vacuum to prevent the reincarnation of organized crime. It turns out economic fungibility also includes criminals.

But far better than the status quo. CJNG for example lost all respect and now they have an army, with uniforms, vehicles, military grade weapons and all. They do not hide who they are anymore. It is a joke. Under normal conditions, you can deal with an infection with an antibiotic. But when left untreated long enough, you have to amputate. That is what is needed here. A complete amputation of those clowns from reality. That is what the US would do if an organization dared to pull off 1% of what these clowns do every day. Blitz war on cartels with army, navy and air force, missiles, bombs, napalm, tanks, helicopters, armored personal carriers... leave no trace of them. The prohibition era analogy argument stops working when you realize cartels traffic people too.
