Too late. Heroin is no longer the drug on the streets. It’s now Fentanyl. And that is just chemicals from China

invent a fungus that kills the optimum poppys And the next thing you know is that a slight mutation occured and wheat is also wiped out around the world. The possibility of the unintended consquences is large here since the government is involved. Think mongoose in Hawaii.

Should have done this on Sept 12, 2001. See the post before yours for an explanation as to why not.

Well of course! Professional courtesy extended by our Washington leaders. For all we know, there might be a mutual trade agreement going on between the two parties.

"The Taliban have never had to face a sustained targeting campaign focused on disrupting their illicit revenue activities
its not over. In fact, its only just begun. And this will be a very long winter for the Taliban, as we will continue to disrupt their revenue sources again and again and again."
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

The taliban successfully curtailed opium production in 2001. It was easy: Get caught growing poppy and you are dead. There's a lesson there which our government refuses to learn.
But the taliban were shrewd economists. They had warehouses full of the stuff which multiplied in value as supply was reduced.
The lying statement "the gloves are off" should mean death to growers, not destruction of production.

I’ll be impressed when the supply of heroin actually drops. Far as I know supplies are unaffected so far. If this campaign is effective heroin street prices should skyrocket.

Interesting why the USA lets Afghanistan produce a single poppy, there are tens of thousands of American citizens dying of overdoses.
Probably using the cash the get back from the EITC to buy their bindles.
All of this could be solved by a nuke strike on DC.
