Rising GOP support for the U.S. taking unilateral military action in Mexico against drug cartels is increasingly rattling people on both sides of the border who worry talk of an attack is getting normalized.

Wednesday’s Republican presidential primary debate featured high-stakes policy disagreements on a range of issues from abortion to the environment — but found near-unanimous consensus on the idea of using American military force to fight drug smuggling and migration.

But aren't drug cartels great for the Mexican economy? I read posts in the distant past they even provide social services, like building roads and such. Beats what the cia is doin' with their profits. If there's another war, I think Mexico is gonna win this one. Does the u.s. really wanna mess with a combination of the Mexican military and the cartels? Especially with the state of our military?
