Military Action Against Cartels.

Despite frequent rhetoric regarding potential military action against cartels, such an intervention is widely viewed as improbable due to the deep economic and political ties within North America. Analysts argue that Mexico’s situation is unique because of its democratic legitimacy and its role as a vital trading partner, making any unilateral strike logistically costly and damaging to essential international partnerships. Instead, these threats are often seen as a strategic negotiation tool used to secure concessions in trade and migration, especially as a high level of cooperation in security and extraditions already exists. While the possibility of a sudden shift in policy remains a concern for some, the consensus suggests that the risks to economic stability and regional diplomacy make a cross-border strike highly unlikely.
