The Cartels in 2020

Basically, without people grasping this....a 'war' is about to erupt.  At some point, probably around February of 2020....a 'front' will be established.  Cross-the-border raids?  Very likely, and to be condemned by Mexican political figures. 

Seizure of bank accounts?  Likely. 

Relocating cartel 'chiefs' to Gitmo?  Likely.

Reaction by the cartel in killing some regional political figures?  I would take a guess that bombings and murders will be an everyday occurrence by mid-2020 in the US.  There's law enforcement, mayors, and governors likely to face daily death threats.

Carrying of weapons by Americans?  It'll get hyped up and folks in Texas will make it an everyday act by the end of 2020. 

But here's the thing....drugs are going to be more difficult to deliver to distribution networks, and escalation of prices will start to occur (likely doubling and tripling cocaine prices).

US distribution networks?  If you are working with cartel members, you are helping a known terrorist, and there's likely to be serious jail-time for the distribution networks (no longer just three to five years....maybe you'd face a thirty-year sentence now....aiding a terrorist group).

All of this will be geared toward a public settling in for a war on US soil, and easily re-electing Trump to a second term.  For the Democrats to carry wins in the House and Senate....they will have to support the war, and it's entanglements, or face loss of seats.

If you got a serious coke-habit?  You might want to think about rehab because you won't be able to afford the habit by the end of 2020.
