Afghanistan is the world's #1 producer of poppy, which is the plant from which opiates and some opioids are derived: codeine, morphine, heroin and others.

Now that fentanyl has become very much worth synthesizing in labs, due to its potency, the need for a military presence in a country that produces most of the world's heroin, protecting and appropriating said production, has disappeared. "They" can just make fentanyl and get rich off even more U.S. misery.

In the Regan era, it was cocaine and crack, and the USA was involved in Latin America, where the stuff grows. Then it's been opioids. Next thing? Who knows... But probably just good old hot war for military money.

I understand. I remember hearing that the US was not trying to stop poppy farmers in Afghanistan, but it looked more like the soldiers were guarding the poppy farms. If Fentanyl can be made in a lab cheaper than growing a crop in a foreign land, then I can see why the soldiers would no longer be necessary there. This world is so corrupt.
