There’s a lot of this going on.
There are theories that attacking Afghanistan had to do with getting the poppies flowing again.
Which they did.
How much was the heroin trade worth?

I think Assange was correct when he said years ago that the goal of the war in Afghanistan was not to win the war, but to launder money. How does that work, exactly? If I had to guess, I’d put poppies at the top of my list.
And what are the odds that we accidentally left $80 billion of military equipment to Afghanistan? Oops!! 🤪
And how many billions did Biden confiscate from the Afghani central bank? Could that have been part of the deal? It’s hard for me to imagine anything otherwise.
The problem is most citizens trust their government.
They completely lose sight of “trust but verify.”
Hard to verify anything when the pentagon has lost track of trillions of dollars.
Freedom technology is our only way out.
btw, I very highly recommend Narcos and Narcos:Mexico. They lay it all out, that the War on Drugs is nothing more than an excuse to prosecute endless war, weaken our frenemies (central and South America), keep our archrival the Russian Empire (formerly known as the Soviet Union) out of our hemisphere, and launder money. The most interesting observation to me is that the DEA agents seem to know this at some level, and yet they remain TRUE BELIEVERS to the cause, ie the war on drugs. Without the zeal of the True Believers, the entire scheme described above would fall apart.
Why do they Believe? That is the question.
In each of us is a bit of naivety
