If these strikes really are hitting drug gangs, I would expect the gangs to strike back, just as they do when they attack each other. They already have people in the USA, and they would have no problems with attacking civilians or politicians, they already do that. Maybe that's part of the plan behind using the military, create incidents in the US in order to impose martial law? On the other hand the War On Drugs has been around for a long time and I don't know of any attacks on the US because of it (except for the drugs themselves). Maybe the use of military force was what the drug gangs were afraid of, but now that restraint has been removed. Even if the real purpose of the strikes is regime change and taking over the oil industry, there may be side affects for US citizens due to pulling the gangs into it. Difficult to tell where this goes. There must be ongoing legal debates also, this seems clearly outside of international law.
