I don’t get why people think this is a possibility lol

It’s such US jingoism to think that the US would go to war so easily, especially in what’s considered an ally country like Mexico.

Yes, they’ll likely escalate pressure on Mexico, and also push for joint efforts to tackle on cartel issues if it became an endemic problem where cartel war was spilling over the border. M

However, crimes happening IN Mexico to US citizens the response would be so muted to the point of seeming ineffective much like what we see now.
