Would appreciate pointers to scenario analysis of potential US-cartel conflicts.
You're more familiar with this blog than I am (this being the second time you've brought it up here). Is there some qualification they have on this issue that I didn't know about? I'm happy to stop bringing this up if there's some particular reason to take them seriously.

Pointers to better material would be greatly appreciated, on the topic of potential US-cartel conflict in the context of US election debates, https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/10/gop-bomb-mexico-fen...
> Republicans suggest everything from terrorist labels to an invasion to decimate drug cartels in Mexico ... U.S. Northern Command assesses that 30 to 35 percent of Mexican territory is ungoverned, giving space for the drug cartels to roam free. Should the U.S. launch military operations in Mexico, a crush of people would find their way to U.S. ports of entry seeking asylum and their claims would be stronger by fleeing an active war zone involving U.S.-labeled terrorists ... There are other complications, such as what the terrorist label would mean for people selling drugs online or shipping them — would a FedEx delivery person be jailed?
Leaving aside election debates on hypothetical conflicts, NYC Central Park is being considered for housing asylum seekers, flowing today into NYC from the US southern border. More and better analysis is needed. https://www.axios.com/2023/08/03/new-york-city-central-park-...
I don't have a better source! If this source is actually good, rather than someone, again, doing the thing Orson Scott Card so notoriously did, of fanfic'ing international politics and military conflicts, that'd be a good thing to point out! Is it?
