--------
Former U.S. Army Ranger Nicolas Irving sheds light on the brutal reality of cartel violence and why drug trafficking is a never-ending war. Irving describes the intense, violent power struggles within cartels, noting that when one leader falls, another quickly rises to take their place. “In my whole career, you’d kill the number one guy here, and literally the next day, someone else pops up,” he says, emphasizing the endless cycle fueled by the unrelenting demand for drugs.
Irving argues that cartels will never disappear because drugs have always existed and people will always seek escapes. He also reveals the murky connections between cartels and corrupt officials, explaining how payoffs keep the system going. “They’re all in the same game together,” he says, highlighting the mercenary nature of those involved. According to Irving, this complex web ensures that the war on drugs will persist indefinitely.
