What's happening in Mexico

[RoseTrellis]

Horrible scenes coming out of Mexico as their Military engages the well-armed and funded Cartels..
How does this end? It seems for years that was a balance where government corruption and an unwillingness to take on the drug cartels led to them having some significant power and influence.
What I’m wondering is how does this end?
Will there be a return to the status quo, or is this the start of an ernest efforts to end their influence?
What role (if any) should the US play, especially considering the current administration has stated they want to return to the Monroe doctrine to control what happens in the hemisphere?
Will President Sheinbaum publicly ask for assistance from the US?
