The cartels aint stupid. They've founded legal chemical supply companies with int'l licensing and everything, chemical companies that have contracts with the Mexican gov't, Mexican military, and other nations' gov'ts, to import the meth and fent precursors. Its such a very complex well financed operation, that Im honestly kinda surprised how well the DEA has been able to penetrate as far as they have and the amount of intel they've gleaned. Even so, the cartel is so compartmentalized and operates more like a franchise, with many many different bosses, taking down the top dogs really dont do shit. They take an initial hit, retreat, regroup, learn from the previous slip ups, then bounce back smarter than before; like any international level billion dollar enterprise.
FWIW, China has instituted the death penalty for fentanyl manufacturers a couple years back, and has executed several death sentences before production there was stamped out.

Very impressive work by the feds here. Hats off to them, they're doing their job here quite effectively. Drug war is still absolutely hopeless however. The drugs win every time...IMO you'd have to either legalize most stuff and regulate it just like alcohol, or institute the death penalty for all involved... but I think the Chapitos are on borrowed time. The second team is never as good as the first, and sons are rarely as competent at something as their fathers. Just my opinion, but I dont see the offspring having a several-decades run like Chapo did. They're quite powerful right now, but theres so much heat on them its insane, and just aint a sustainable situation.
