Mexico has all the ingredients to be a top 5 player in the geopolitical arena. All they need is to clean up their government and from there, disband the cartels.

It needs a strong judicial system before all

I genuinely feel so sorry for Mexico. The world's biggest companies are looking to move manufacturing out of China and Mexico is right fucking there. It has so much going for it as the next hub of manufacturing but it won't happen due to the cartels/political system.

That's a lot of ifs

That requires a full civil war unfortunately. I think it’ll come in the next couple decades, and hopefully a really good democratic Mexico rises from it.

The end of the war against drugs will help with that. Make trade legal and cartels will stop having money to pay for its currently well funded criminals.

Poor Mexico. So far from god, so close to the United States.

you make it sounds like it’s a walk in the park. The cartels are hyper-militarized, extremely wealthy, extremely violent, and have absolute power in the areas they control. If it was as easy as simply “disbanding” then it would have been done a long time ago.

Pretty sure I just summarized the high altitude way point, not give a detailed over view of the tasks needed to make it happen.
