I don't know who would win because the cartels are way better funded, equiped and trained; but they are way less psychotic and bloodthirsty than the yanks

In any case, nobody wants their employees fighting each other so HR is gonna cool down the situation

I think the Cartels would decimate the US military. There is a 0% chance that fight stays south of the border. The Cartels would be hitting targets on American soil, and those soldiers would be getting kidnapped, and held for ransom. It would be a disaster. You'd have US politicians going into hiding out of fear. The Americans do NOT want that smoke.

The Mexican cartels going rogue and actually invading the US thus bringing war to US soil for the first time in hundreds of years was not on the 2025 bingo card. That would be some hilarious and immediate blowback.

Although, I think it would lead to even more severe racism.

Nah, the cartel threat is overblown imo, even with CIA funding.

I'd love to be proven wrong though, I do know that some have managed to get anti-tank weaponry from the US military

I think it'll be Vietnam 2.0 but right on the border. Plus they already have networks of armed operatives INSIDE the US. Experienced ones. It would be a disaster in more ways than 1.

They most definitely are already stateside, they just lay low.
