In one of the biggest actions the administration has taken against fentanyl trafficking, the U.S. on Tuesday announced a series of indictments and sanctions against 14 people and 14 firms across China and Canada related to the import of the drug to the United States.

    It is about fucking time the world takes China’s clandestine opium war seriously. The fact they have gotten away with this for so long is mind blowing. This has been a highly destructive and extremely successful campaign to destabilize western society.

    Bruh we know China allows it to be gray area. They’ll just spin up new companies and change ports.

    But let’s just pretend crackdowns will fix it when the cartels are literally synthesizing their own now with precursors in their own pro clandestine super labs.

    Why not just setup a federal emergency and supplement recovery/therapy/substitution/housing/safe sites/job training+guidance and actually address the root of the problem? It’s the inside of people where the real addiction to escaping their trauma lies.

    Hahahaha!

    Soft targets. Mostly meaningless.

    Take on the cartels, stop them invading the United States with their enslaved and indentured illegals carrying the lion’s share of drugs.

          “Funding Ukraine to beat russia’s ass into the stone age without the loss of a single us soldiers life is a WASTE OF MONEY and should be stopped immediately”

          Also “the US should personally invade one of our largest trading partners and neighbors to chase down cartels in the desert and murder them all until there’s nothing left. Cause history has shown how effective that is”…

          You’re an idiot.
