Imperialism and illicit drugs commonly go together. However, with Taliban opium eradication efforts in full effect, heroin is in short supply, and experts fear that a new fentanyl crisis could be brewing in the US.

    Ha you were conclusively proven wrong and didn’t even blink. A brain so smooth no facts can get stuck on it.

    spoiler

    Post another 🤓 “I was on the debate team” graphic, that’s how discussions work

      oh, you mean here?

      the US didn’t give a shit about it at all

      ya got me there. they did care. still doesn’t prove that it’s why the US was there, and, in fact, several of the linked sources directly state to the contrary against claims that it was.

      too bad it’s meaningless and - like always - you’re wrong. lmao

        Lol so you initially ignore being wrong, then acknowledge you were wrong somewhere else, then say “well that was meaningless” when you go back to claim you were adult enough to say you missed on that one? …What?

        Go back to reddit if you’re going to be a debatelord
