actually, the only positive to come out of this will be that u.s. did not waste resources on any operation where mexico got custody.
possibly some intra-cartel clashes, but these settle before any significant 'business' is damaged.

the problem is so much bigger than these 2 symbolic figureheads arrested today.
first, the cartel infrastructure is such that sinaloa, or any of the other major half-dozen, can pick up operations as they have done resiliently over decades.

under the radar, but even worse news, is that china now has a major stake as a chemical supplier and a money launderer in the mexican drug trade. i absolutely would expect chinese groups to escalate if either side of their lucrative bookends were threatened, as both have protection via ties to the CCP.
in other words, this is a another non-military conflict with china, at least the scale of cybercrime, with a lot more dead citizens.

and yet people wonder why both parties want to be tough on china (unless there something in it for trump)
