Maybe the Chicoms are trying to corner the market to deliver fentanyl to the USA for revenge and payback for the opium wars. Buthe the Chinese are setting up shop in Afghanistan - I'm sure they will get the deliveries going again for the hard cash.

The parallels are pretty interesting. That's probably why China has such a harsh stance on drugs. Their country was literally destroyed in the past by malevolent foreign countries poisoning their people with narcotics.

Meanwhile, us morons in the US are trying to liberalize drugs laws and make access to narcotics "safe and affordable"...

When China becomes the defacto ruler of the world, I hope they do a better job than we did

This is not news, American forces allowed farmers to grow poppies at rates never seen before. This was because a lot of heroin made its way inside Iran. There are a lot of junkies in Iran, the American government liked that. A country full of junkies is a less stable country. Let Iran waste resources combating the importation and use of drugs in their border.

Heroin is also no longer needed in same amounts as in the past in North America because of fentanyl. Fentanyl is easier to make and import than heroin.

The CIA was doing the same thing to America, apparently. This should be exposed at every opportunity until all the corrupt clandestine operators are brought to justice.

I commented this a while ago, that the opiate crisis and the cutdown on prescribing drugs derived from opium was us weaning ourselves off the teat of our need for Afghanistan.

Not that "we" didn't benefit in other ways. Oil rights. Funneling money to the military industrial complex. We dumped out old stock of munitions that would have cost more to properly dispose of. Gave the military something to do because they cost a lot whether they're doing something or not, and there's no experience like hands on experience.

But there's a scary correlation to our dependence on opiate drugs, our securing the source, and the subsequent end of the love affair.

Which the US has gone through before, after every big war we have an opiate crisis.

Don't the Taliban execute people for making narcotics?

This article says they're the ones who make/sell the heroin, but the same website posted another article that says they force heroin addicts to go to rehab, because it's against Islam. Couldn't find anything about executions, tho.

Side note: the second article tries to paint rehab as a bad thing, but they contradict themselves a lot, probably throw a few lies in, and still manage to make me agree with the Taliban. They're literally giving these people free food, a roof over their heads, and even medicine to wean them off heroin — how is that a bad thing? The worst thing they can come up with is that they're running out of supplies, which obviously ain't the Taliban's fault.

Yeah. Between hostilities making accurate reporting difficult, to our own media being garbage, who knows what the truth is.

It's funny though, because allowing drug production but forcing addicts into rehab is basically the direction the US political left is leaning. In most US cities, that's basically the status quo. Drugs are being legalized. "Safe injection sites" are being setup. Never in nice neighborhoods though, of course. But anyone found to be an addict is strongly encouraged to go to rehab.

But if the Taliban does it, that's terrible and horrible...

They don't even want to force people to go to rehab. They want everyone addicted to meth and heroin, so the populace is easier to control. Also, the left's form of rehab doesn't work — it wasn't designed to — it's just supposed to make rehab centers rich.

But if the Taliban does it, that's terrible and horrible...

They spent all these years bowing down to Islamic extremists before realizing they're ultra-conservative. The military industrial complex wants back in Afghanistan, so the fake news media cries about all these culture war issues. Meanwhile, the right tries to use anti-Muslim xenophobia and fearmongering about terrorism to get us back in Afghanistan. Both parties are controlled by the same people.

Agreed. Another reason why I miss Trump. Although he never had any love for the Taliban, and was willing to let the military bomb away for a time, he always seemed to see that the war was a waste of resources, and initiated the withdrawal.

I wonder how long until we invade someone else. After our 20 year stay in Afghanistan, I imagine they'll have to wait for at least a decade for the public to be forget the last clusterfuck and be numb enough to go again.

But the CIA would never act against law-abiding citizen's interests (or a recent president)! Biden will make all that better!
