I don't know who would win because the cartels are way better funded, equiped and trained; but they are way less psychotic and bloodthirsty than the yanks

In any case, nobody wants their employees fighting each other so HR is gonna cool down the situation

The cartels are fighting each other. The US would be taking on a group of warlords busy with minor squabbles. On top of that these warlords are mainly engaged in suppressing local populations, bribing the police and so on. They're not some elite military unit.

You'd just see another Afghanistan basically.

What could be an "interesting" turn of events is if the national cause/pride and common enemy unites the cartels. However if that's the turn of events I'm going to say it was all an op to create an insurrectionary military in Mexico that can topple Claudia.

Or maybe I'm missing out on some vital information about cartels. It just seems to me they're getting hyped by scaremongering politicians in the us. I've got family living over there and none of them talk about cartels, (I could really stop the sentence here, it's not a big topic,) like they're some massive military threat.
