The USA and drugs

This is a Tucker Carlson interview and is worth watching to get an up-to-date view on the real drug problem in the USofA.  Our Mr P mentions short vignettes now and again in the open thread in the Hearty Salon, but not enough to see the scope of the problem.

Tucker Carlson is not a favorite in these climes, and in his first soliloquy, you will undoubtedly have your knee-jerk moments.   When he interviews Col Douglas Macgregor, you will soon see those knee-jerk moments were set up to open the conversation with Doug Macgregor.

An interesting issue, that went under the radar, is mentioned:  the planned meeting of the five Central Asia Stans with the US.  (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan).  Doug Macgregor explains why both Russia and China are concerned about this meeting.

The final part of the interview is with a previous drug addict, Ginny Burden (sp?).  The videos featured give a vivid view of what it actually looks like and why regime-changing Maduro is like Viagra to Lindsey Graham, but unfortunately, it won’t prevent a single fentanyl death.

Ginny steps into the finances and the economics of the drug problem.  As we suspected, it is all within the USA and the NGO’s exist because they exacerbate the problem in order to stay in business.  The Tucker Carlson soliloquy and series of interviews expose the drug problem, and for that, it is worth watching, as it is an aspect of a declining empire.

You will know with certainty that the USofA’s government is completely complicit in terms of financial support, and why the abject jingoism that outsiders cause the drug problem is fake news, hiding the appetite in the USofA to maintain its so-called empire and consistently blame someone else.

China solved the two opium wars against them.  It took decades.  China did not start shooting at other countries but solved it internally, while negotiating with Britain and Portugal, confiscating and destroying opium that came into their harbors and waters, and closing opium dens.

The lesson that Chinese students learn today about the Opium Wars is that China should never again let itself become weak, ‘backward,’ and vulnerable to other countries. As one British historian says, “If you talk to many Chinese about the Opium War, a phrase you will quickly hear is ‘luo hou jiu yao ai da,’ which literally means that if you are backward, you will take a beating.”

The issue of drugs will make the declining empire take yet another beating of their own making, as it is taking beatings in other vectors.

The USofA does not seem to have the internal ability or will to solve its own drug use.  Unlike the Chinese opium wars, I do not buy that it is a ‘war against them’.  It is their own war against themselves.  China closed opium dens.  As you will see from the video, the USofA keeps them open and, in reality, builds new ones.  China confiscated and destroyed opium deliveries in its own waters and ports, actively dealing with its own problem.  The USofA tries to shoot little boats in the Caribbean and in the East Pacific and jingoistically makes its own problem someone else’s.  This is typical of these times of a declining empire.  It is always someone else’s fault.   As Russia says continually, the issue with Ukraine must be solved at the level of root causes.  Somehow, there is no empirical will to understand this drug problem within the USofA, and it is again not being solved at the level of root causes.  I would propose that one of those root causes is an utter desperation among the American population because they have been so propagandised and so polarized.  In the age of the Demented Donald, this has now increased to a deafening level.

[Bear in mind, I have friends on our site who have experienced the loss of family members to drugs.  I have no Schadenfreude in this instance. My heart breaks for them in those circumstances as they are victims.]
