In his article, “Invading Mexico Will Not Solve the Cartel Problem," Brandan P. Buck, Research Fellow in Foreign Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, explains there are two schools of thought when it comes to dealing with the cartel problem in Mexico: the first, being a plan of “Shock & Awe” with a campaign of targeted airstrikes and special operations raids, used “selectively and thoughtfully, while the other takes a more mild and diplomatic route, using U.S. military forces partnered with their Mexican counterparts.
