Afghanistan didn’t have poppy production till it was allowed by the Bush administration. Their primary exports were food stuffs but it was easy to spoil the Iranians and Russians with cheap drugs that ruin society. This was patterned after the british opium wars but done at a funky scale. Now our chickens have come to roost now that pill based pain medication has gotten so hard… life finds a way.

America's biggest export is blowback. Our search tree doesn't go that deep.

The primary flows of fent into the USA are from Mexico and China [1]. India is emerging as a source for finished fentanyl
powder and fentanyl precursor chemicals.

...dealing fentanyl?

Same threat actors associated with the same regional intel organization offices. Certain but plenty of countries conduct these operations in a subnational and public-private manner, but a certain nuclear power has done so intimately to degree that most others didn't.
Also the fact that you reply to me on multiple occasions within 5 minutes is intruiging, as it is drastically anomalous.
Khayr, you aren't the only account like that.

If you have more information, don't just vaguely suggest it. I'm genuinely asking you for more details, it's a strange claim to make.

It's wild. Accounts drop genuinely insightful takes on niche threads and submit a lot of interesting topics, you barely register them, then one random thread reveals they're absolutely batshit crazy. That's why I still love the web.

I thought the same about this account until I read multiple completely wrong takes on topics I actually know well and realised they were just making up plausible sounding nonsense. After that, I started disregarding or outright ignoring their comments altogether. Almost like the of reverse Gell-Mann amnesia.
> one random thread reveals they're absolutely batshit crazy
I still can't tell whether this is continued LARPing or a genuinely tenuous grasp on reality.
