Ping!
I read that the Norks poppy-growing operation began during Vietnam when the commies deliberately flooded South Vietnam with artificially cheap heroin to get our G.I.’s hooked.
I’m sure satellite photos can confirm how much they are growing but I would assume that is more bad news that the current administration, just like the one before it, would prefer never got widely circulated (because then they might be expected to do something about it).
Really? Supreme leader to sacrifice himself in a move reminiscent of Soylent Green?
