Why has the US allowed Afghanistan to produce most of the world’s heroin while we’ve been there.
If the hammer fits...
1. Afghans have historically produced ~90% of the world's heroin, so reducing them to #2 status would be no small thing.
2. Cutting the heroin crop (their #1 cash crop) would be counterproductive to winning over the population against the Taliban. i.e. it falls outside of our military strategy.
3. When you say "allow" you assert a condition that doesn't exist. It presumes we could easily stop it, which is a fallacy. We can't stop the cocaine and MJ trade inside our own borders, and you assert that we are "allowing it" in a foreign land.
4. We would need at least a million troops in country to police the agricultural endeavors of 30 million rural Afghans over 252,000 sq mi.
But you think its a conspiracy. Are we also allowing NK to play their games, the Somalis to pirate, ISIS to rampage, and the Russians to kill Ukrainians? Oops, I forgot, you think none of that stuff is happening, and its all a ruse by powerful American elites. So I'm curious, if the elites are feeding false information about a major verifiable war in the Ukraine, why are they allowing you to hear that Afghanistan is still producing the majority of the world's heroin? Wouldn't that war be easier to sell if people thought it had better results?
