    Nobody pushes drugs.

    Americans gobble up drugs like Hungry Hippos and the cartels are just violent psychopaths that want to be the distributors.

        They are.

        If you look up who consumes the most drugs I think you’ll find some really fun facts. Not only do more people in the US consume drugs but the quantity is also noticeably higher than anyone else.

        The pusher theory is bs. Nobody is out there handing out free drugs to get people hooked.

          well…not free, but big pharma has been caught many times bribing doctors to over-perscribe addictive medications to their patients

    Not that the 20 year occupation of Afghanistan wasn’t an absolute clusterfuck, but the Taliban were harbouring Al-Qaida leadership. To say otherwise is just denying historical facts.

    And the CIA had a hand in the Opium trade in Afghanistan while we were there.

    The US is comically evil abroad, and getting worse domestically every day.

      Fascism is imperialism turned inward. The US fears losing its grip on power so it’s begun to cannibalize itself in a desperate bid to restore its dominance.

    Afghanistan

    Nothing to do with Al Qaeda

    Maybe /pol/ isn’t the best source for deep thoughts.

      Yeah that’s like, a very basic fact to mess up so badly. Noone seriously disputes that Al-Qaeda did 9/11 (not just “in partnership with” as though they were along for the ride) and the country the US invaded that had nothing to do with 9/11 was Iraq, not Afghanistan.

      Americans have a collective memory that lasts more than 3 years challenge (impossible difficulty)
