> It's always been about blaming drug cartels, smugglers, distributors etc.
As it should be.
Violent drug cartels have so much money they can raise private armies. Literally. They are known to hire actual soldiers. In my country they dominate over a quarter of our massive territory. They have created their own parallel governments, complete with laws and tribunals. They even collect taxes from their subjects. The sentence for tax evasion is death.
The only problem with the "war" on drugs is the fact it wasn't actually a war, it was just regular police work. Trump finally turned it into a war when he started ordering US ships to destroy drug boats on sight. That's how it's done.
Yes, that's how you deal with these barbarous and belligerent governments we call "drug cartels". You recognize their existence. You recognize their hostility. You recognize their barbarity, their daily human rights violations. You classify them as terrorist organizations. You actually go to war with them. You treat every single person employed by them as an enemy combatant. You order their total and unconditional surrender. You kill them if they don't comply. You nuke them out of existence if necessary.
Fail to do so and they will infiltrate and subvert every facet of society, every institution. In my country it's theorized that they control a significant amount of judges. The legal system has turned into a joke where drug traffickers are routinely released, they even give them their drug cash back. Entire movies are made about how police tends to form a peaceful coexistence equilibrium with drug traffickers, allowing it to continue.
Can you imagine what it's like to live in this narcostate shithole? Not a day goes by without news of some drug related atrocity being published. Can you imagine what it's like to try to raise a family here? Knowing that at any moment some drug gang can just decide to come to my home and spray paint a message saying I have 24 hours to get the fuck out or be killed?
The only thing that prevents these barbarians from taking over whatever country you live in is extreme violence. You have people on your side literally going to war with them on your behalf. Rejoice, for I do not.
