A large swathe of US defence infrastructure in Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico hasn't recently had its defences upgraded and would got hammered in a drone strike campaign

Drone defense systems have small coverage areas. Good for defending an airport or mayhaps a city (if you have enough of them). But there's no defending a hundred thousand square kilometers.

one part of me wonders if what the cartels really want is to make a deal with Trump in the same way the main druglord's henchman in Clear and Present offers to the NSA www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt1V...

I continue to wonder if the Administration understands, in its racist wisdom, that unleashing the American military on the cartels is not likely to be the kind of one-way process we see in e.g. Somalia. Al-Shabaab doesn't have thousands of active members either side of the US border.

Speaking of Somalia, despite decades of US droning, Al Shabab is only getting stronger. Make of it what you want 😉

Also a scenario in which cartel submarines and naval drones obliterate oil production in the Gulf (of America 🤡) or knock out few navy ships

The border wall should stop drones right?
