It's too bad it isn't going to work. We are trashing our reputation world wide so Trump can make illusory points with his base. His base doesn't care if it will accomplish anything on the drug trade. And we've know for a couple of decades our big problem is Mexico. But bombing Mexico is also subject to the balloon effect.
"The "balloon effect" in the context of drugs refers to the phenomenon where drug eradication efforts in one area simply shift production to another, just as squeezing a balloon causes the air to move elsewhere. It is a criticism of drug policies that focus on eliminating production in specific regions, suggesting that these efforts are ineffective because the problem is displaced, not solved."
