If you take the drug war directly to the cartels, they will have no choice but to back down.The biggest problem with using this method is that by involving the U.S. military, we are basically declaring war and using force that will no doubt create international outrage against the U.S. We would be violating international law by using force against sovereign nations that we aren’t at war with.

This creates a major problem because these foreign governments would rather take money from drug lords instead of our government.Realistically, without the complete cooperation of these foreign governments, we can’t diminish the supply unless we go in and use force ourselves.
