Kidnapping in Mexico is still relatively rare, and especially for tourists. The biggest risk is to Green Card holders that are living in high risk areas.
Total guess, but I would bet that it's less than 0.01%.
Mexico overall is overwhelmingly safe. We're heading to Merida Mexico for 2 months in April. It's currently the second safest city in North America behind Quebec City.
We spend months there away from the touristy beach towns. The middle of the country is full of beautiful Unesco Word Heritage sites. The wife and I walk everywhere and have never felt unsafe. That said, we'd never visit cities/states on the do not travel advisory list and we wouldn't hang out after dark.

I wasn't advocating mere encouragement. And the dealers will be replaced faster than you can take them out, as they have for decades.
obviously not- but focusing on demand by making drug use penalties truly draconian
it will never happen because we lack the will
You can buy anything you want - including forms of hashish - at a dispensary in FL w/ a MMJ card. Drug use isn't going away.
Our Federal Gubmint is simply targeting the bad guys with the bad drugs - China and Mexico. And rightfully so.
The situation will never get better, but efforts to keep it from getting worse are welcomed.
But practical. Which we don't get from our Federal Gubmint very often. They can start drone bombing Cartel leaders/houses/etc. tomorrow. No skin off my apple. Sorry, not sorry.
Sure, do nothing about the real problem and spend more money bombing. And China? Are we bombing them too? Didn't think so.
China's drug syndicate's entrance to the US is being shut off at the southern border. Unless FedEx and UPS is asleep on the job.
That is funny coming from you.
You are the dumass that in one thread was crying that Franklin dwould not take risks and then one page later you were crying the team lost because Franklin took a a risk.
Get your shine box.
Ehhhhh, unfortunately, once the internal Cartel war in Mexico crowns a new king, shipments will be as regular as ever. New routes, new methods, new addictions, new combinations of drugs, etc. etc. Wash, rinse, repeat. The Chinese are always looking at new routes as well, just visit Viet Nam.
Pardoning a drug kingpin like the president of Honduras ( 4000 tons of Blow was it? ) sends the message that the pharmacy is always open if you can pay the tax.
War on drugs. Everybody snicker. We would be better off focusing on getting folks in Texas, South Carolina, and elsewhere to get their kids vaccinated against measles.

Delta Force was the leading force and part of the killing of that animal Mencho. You can expect a big uptick in American Military in Mexico. It has quickly become more than Mexico can handle. Just put American Military Bases in Mexico and take care of the problem.
You're clueless. Delta Force has been in Mexico working with the Mexican forces for 4 months. The CIA found the Munchkin helping arrange taking him down. The CIA via Trump have also pledged to keep her Mexican Majesty protected from the Cartel while this war proceeds.
To put a consultant in prison is comical. A few of the Sacklers should have been convicted but they have powerful allies on both sides. I doubt anyone will see a fraction of that $7b from the civil suit
