I don't trust trump, but he happens to be correct in this case.

Mexico really is ruled by cartels and anyone who opposes them routinely ends up murdered, often along with their family.

We can thank the Ronald Reagan generation for the War on Drugs. It continues to hurt and kill poor people while giving abusive scumbags another avenue of abuse.

    This won't solve that though, "strategic" bombing campaigns never work. The best they can do is occasionally knock out a leader which causes more immediate violence as the underlings fight for control afterward. This will only cause more chaos and violence.

    The only thing that will stop the cartels is getting rid of the constant flow of money and guns flowing south from the US for drugs. Until that happens there will always be someone willing to perpetrate violence if the money is good enough.
