I implied the fentanyl crisis mysteriously started to gain momentum once the Taliban started to gain control over more of the countryside in North Afghanistan.

Not so much implied as stated outright it seems, but you're right, I should read more carefully. :doh:

fent’s synthetic

more likely is that the supply of heroin to the US was made more difficult from Afghanistan because of the military withdrawal

fent just replaced the supply

People were very much still high with bloodlust, even if there were dissenters.

Well yeah, 100% of the media and political establishment were droning on 24/7 about how deserved and just and amazing a war would be. No different than the way the survivors will be looking back in twenty years saying "wow people really wanted to get COVID 3x a year for some reason".

Yeah, that’s my point, the synthetics mysteriously started to flood the US when the heroin supply was cut off and the US government was “helpless” to stop it.

fentanyl had already been a problem in the US, it just reached a point that it wasn't something you were paying attention to/reached the critical mass to be a news story around then.

The 2020s is when it probably got on your radar since that's when drugs not associated with opioid use were increasingly cut with it, and also cops started blaming their panic attacks on it. Not to mentioned we got to point to bad actors like insys and their rapping fentanyl mascot.

Way easier to scapegoat a bad actor rather than the sickness of the system grinding up people while also looking for new products to sell workers who had been mangled as productivity had been squeezed out of them.

The ramping up of the US war on drugs during the presidency of two demented grampas also shifted the calculus around smuggling and distribution; why risk a cargo container of one substance imported from warzones when a briefcase from a lab could do the trick?

the thing is english men will never advocate for socialism, which is maybe why they are implicitly trusted

Yeah and that is why there was suddenly such a flood of it pushed into the market at the exact time as heroin supplies started to dry up.

(Heroin overdoses have dropped like a rock btw.)

Bush paid them $43 million to do so just months before the bombing started, which is a lot more than it sounds like considering their economy at the time.

yah this is what I was thinking of. the taliban really wanted to avoid the eye of sauron (USA) looking in their direction when they were about to win the civil war. oops the gaze fell upon them, 20 more years of suffering

it is part of understanding why the taliban were guilty by association at best. They were not looking to support attacks on the USA it is strategically the worse thing they could do. they wanted to win their civil war.

if you've never talked about aghanistan with americans we think they are arabs who did 9/11 so I get a little nuts about it & its illegality
