The Trump administration is considering launching drone strikes on drug cartels in Mexico as part of an ambitious effort to combat criminal gangs trafficking narcotics across the southern border, according to six current and former U.S. military, law enforcement and intelligence officials with knowledge of the matter.
in some cases, on the power of the “fuck that other other guy” school of geopolitics, this can be avoided. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Iran–Pakistan_border_skirmishes “you see, we actually targeted separatists” “yeah we also targeted separatists let’s call it even” it also requires certain degree of diplomatic finesse that trump lacks, and there’s no good reason for strikes in the first place considering that dea coordinated with mexican police (?) previously, so they could just continue doing that
