Russia’s Federal Drug Control Service (FSKN) believes ISIS could make £33bn ($50bn) through the sale of heroin in Europe. The United Nations (UN) said that the “magnitude of the numbers involved” makes the relationship between terrorists and drug traffickers “worrisome”.

Around half of all Europe’s heroin is moved through ISIS controlled territory in Iraq. Criminal gangs who pay ISIS a commission do much of the work, but the terrorists are rapidly expanding their own operations.

Speaking to Daily Star Online, Tom Keatinge, a terror finance expert from the Royal United Services Insitute, said: “ISIS is a group which makes money out of other people’s endeavour.

The bulk of the heroin traveling to the UK and other European countries is coming out of Iraq, while most of the poppies are grown in Afghanistan. What a waste of American lives.... I guess this is part of Hillary’s democratization of Islam, ISIS Spring. Are there still leaders in Western civilization who know better than to believe that nonsense?

I think we should seriously consider no longer officially protecting the poppy crops in Afghanistan. /

Is there any reason to believe that the European heroin market is not already saturated?

The US also has a heroin problem with cheap drugs coming in over the Mexican border.

Heck with firebombing. Use highy carcinogenic defolients. Get the flowers and the farmers at the same time.

Heroin is not particularly fungible. That is, just because you have a large amount of heroin, it doesn’t mean its fixed market will expand to buy it. It also requires an extensive retail network to get it to users, and to get the profits back to the suppliers.
