Taliban's Massively Successful Opium Eradication Raises Questions About What US Was Doing All Along

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.

    It is artful. That is the point.

    artful trolling and disingenuousness is the point? and you proud of that? ew…

    Further, the only sexism I talked about is the internalized negative self image that would lead a person to think ‘whiskey pickle’ is anything other than a cringe attempt to develop a self identity by subverting the worst societie’s worst instincts.

    OR I like a drink called a pickleback, which is a shot of whiskey served with a pickle brine chaser, and you’ve decided to demonize me because of your own deep-seated insecurities that you’re projecting onto me.

    ut thanks for that revolting glimpse into your psyche…

      Yeah, you seem like the kind of guy who says “Well thanks for that mental image!”.

      No doubt you like a whisky drink, but why? Is it you are drawn to the stereotypically masculine drink because you feel your masculinity is threatened by some other aspect of your life? It just feels performative is all.

      I could be reading more into it that in there. However your completely uncritical regurgitating of western propaganda can only lead me to belive introspection is not a well developed skill in your life.

        yeah, you just told me a bunch of your insecurities.

        I just had this drink once and thought it was a goofy name, but, WOW… you ran with that….

          Yet am I wrong? You have not been able to refute any point I made. You are obviously a little emotional but I think you still have potential

            wrong about what? your weird insecurities you attribute to me or the strange imaginings you use to try to insult me?

            you’ll have to be more clear

              That you have no personality, no self worth, no critical thinking skills and you are defensive about it. All I see from you are projections and deflections. Honestly, it is a little underwhelming. You can do better as a person.

                sorry for your troubles. I recommend you seek medical or psychiatric help.
