Why is nothing being done about the drug war in Mexico?
Things are being done. The drug war in Mexico, itself, is a consequence of things being done. The reason that more isn't being done is that this is a complex international problem.
It is generally accepted that it is mainly the responsibility of the government of Mexico to deal with its problems of organized crime, drug trafficking, and related violence in their own country. The government of Mexico is doing all that it can. And, while not asking any other country to intervene, they have accepted some aid from the US.
Many of Mexico's problems are intertwined with problems of the US, and will require full cooperation of both countries over an extended period of time, if meaningful changes are to be made. All the simplistic approaches have been tried and have failed. Following are a few of the reasons why:
The Mexican government lacks resources, especially trained man power, to effectively police its rural areas.
The Mexican government does not have a cooperative relationship with, and offers few alternatives to, its rural residents, many of whom depend on the drug industry to make a living.
The high rate of drug addiction and abuse by US citizens is a root cause, providing a ready market and almost unlimited funding for black market operations.
Token border enforcement by the US and several cooperative initiatives including intelligence sharing, weapons, and equipment, have been ineffective in reducing the flow of money or drugs. These have all been failed simplistic approaches.
Token cooperation to no cooperation between Mexican and American officials for controlling the border.
US political will is lacking. Criminalization/legalization are sticky issues for US politicians..
Both, the American People and the Mexican People, are ill-informed on the problems and issues involved in this situation.
Mexican/American diplomatic efforts have been weak and ineffective.
With the present view of criminalization, both by Mexico and the US, the black market for drugs will continue to thrive. Violence will increase, as the criminals with more violent capacities come to compete for a share of this illegal market.
There are currently fewer resources with which to confront these problems, given the prolonged feeble economic condition of most countries today, including the US and Mexico.
The only bright spot is that, wisely, no one has asked the UN to help.
The movie: Traffic (2000), seems to have a grasp of some issues.
Should the U.S. provide military assistance to defend Ukraine from Russia?
This is a question asking for a political opinion. As a result, there will be no perfect answer and any answer you read (including mine) should be taken with a grain of salt.
YES. The defense of Ukraine's territorial integrity is critical to restoring US allies' faith in strength of alliances with the US government. These alliances are what keep large portions of the world safe.
One of the hallmarks of the Obama presidency has been to ignore the needs of US allies in an attempt to have a rapprochement with US enemies. This has both weakened the strength and resilience of US alliances around the globe and emboldened the enemies of the United States. In every case where this has been implemented, such as negotiations with Iran that weakened the position of the Israelis, Jordanians, Saudis, and Emiratis or abandoning Syria to Russian support of the Assad Regime, this has caused the distrust of allies.
Ukraine is a country that wants to accede to NATO, Westernize, and escape the Russian sphere of influence. Defending Ukraine would show that the US intends to still maintain and strengthen its military commitments in NATO. A number of Eastern European countries look on uneasily as Russian forces effectively humiliate and weaken Ukraine, a country with many of the same intentions of becoming a stable Westernized country that motivated them to successfully join NATO. In particular, the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) are NATO members who were formerly part of the Soviet Union and border Russia. The possibility of Russia taking action against them is a scary prospect and the only serious deterrent is the guarantee that other NATO allies like the US will defend them. Failing to support Ukraine along with claims from Presidential Candidate Donald Trump that the alliance might not actually function to protect the Baltic States, makes the Baltic States worry about their future and whether trusting the US to defend their free and democratic governments is a wise decision.

How did the fear of another Vietnam affect foreign policy?
After Vietnam, for the US Military & the Commander in Chief it was keep a low profile and don't provoke something that would require the deployment of US military forces. And if & when it became necessary to deploy military forces...do it quickly, cleanly, and don't tell anybody (censor the news) unless or until it is a successful campaign. That time came when President Reagan commenced "Operation Urgent Fury" in Grenada in 1983. The first use of offensive US military force since Vietnam and it was a success; but the news people complained about not knowing about it before hand...which is possibly why it was so successful.
For some semi-factual entertainment on the campaign in Grenada see film: "Heartbreak Ridge" starring Clint Eastwood. This movie is about Operation Urgent Fury.

The question does not make any sense. If you buy food from poor countries, you are necessarily importing it from abroad. Therefore, there is no actual choice between the two options. If perhaps you meant to ask whether it would be more effective to import food from poor countries or produce it domestically, that would be a serious question, where we would weigh the economic implications of Ricardian equivalence and lower values of production vs. questions of "food security" and health and safety standards.
