    A war on drugs never works.

    When the USA left the Taliban in power, one of the conditions was to stop the opium production (which is used for heroin). They stopped most of it and suddenly 80% of the worldwide supply was gone. This made people look for alternatives and fentanyl filled the hole the USA created. It’s extremely potent because that makes it much easier to traffic.

    The more illegal drugs are, the more dangerous they are.

      This war isn’t supposed to “work”. It will be to distract from his domestic failures including the deliberate destruction of the economy.
