The US should support The Peruvian government because If They have the capability to shoot down airplanes the less the drug smuggling airplanes will try to transport drugs into the United states of America. Currently in Peru they one of the highest drug trafficking ports in all of the world, where do the drugs go?
History of Peru
Well they are mainly transported by small plane into the US virgin islands, Puerto Rico and finally Florida. Drug related deaths here in the united states have gone from 9,000 deaths in 2001 to 25,000 deaths in 2014. This has caused the government to begin to worry and ultimately wanting to bring this cause to a stop. As far as actually supporting the Peruvian government I believe …show more content…
First we would give all of these small planes that are registering a radar system so than any time there is an plane on route to the US without a flight plan that has been passed can be shot down by ether the Peruvian government or the united states. Not only will this help stop drug transport, but it will help the drug intake here in America. Although all solutions have a bad side to them and this bad side is the cost of all of the radars. Overall i think that this is the only option If we actually want to be effective. My reason for thinking this way is because if we just gain the ability to shoot down planes it would be very hard to judge which planes to are smuggling drugs. But if we have radars in all of the planes we know whether or not these planes have flight plans and have been cleared to come to the united states. if they haven 't that give us a valuable reason to have them turn around or be shot down. Since both presidents from America and Peru want to stop this issue I think that it will happen, but it will take a lot of pushing not just because president Obama is closing in on his departure, of the white house, but the president of Peru has also ended his term very soon so if we want this to end we will have to do it very quickly or wait till we have new people in the office. The main causes for this drug problem would be the fact that there is a lot of money in the drug dealing business. This means that people in the states will pay a lot of money for the exported drugs. the reason they are coming from Peru is because it is very hard to produce the drugs here in the states so they do it in Peru where there is little to no law enforcement. Although this also means they have to get the drugs into the US which is very hard to do. after trying many ways they discovered the best way to do this was by small plane, which brings us to we are now. “Officials in Peru say about half of the cocaine
