And worse still, using a nerve agent would draw a lot of unpleasant international attention. Why risk pissing off your large northern neighbor when they’ve been trained to ignore more normal types of violence you commit every day?
Look at this forum, the delivery of explosives via drone is consider an interesting novelty, not something that any other country really should do something about. Narco-terrorism is the norm in that part of the world, and we’re clearly used to it.
The first time a cartel uses an honest to god weapon of mass destruction, the response would be very different, with some serious calls for America to invade and sort the issue out itself. While it’s far from obvious if America would (or should) do that, why risk it when they’ll just totally ignore everything else?
