RE:Mikitary action against Mexico’s drug cartelsThe subject should read 'Military' action: The goal is to crush cartel networks with full military force, a report has stated. In March, Republicans introduced legislation to designate nine cartel groups as foreign terrorist organisations, a distinction that would enhance a presidents ability to launch the US military against them. Were not going to allow any foreign government to intervene, much less the armed forces of a foreign government, the Mexican president has said. A unilateral attack on Mexico would not be seen in the same way as a surgical counterterror strike on the Islamic State group overseas. Its an act of war, and its a violation of international law."
