The Golden Triangle really picked up when the US was at war in Vietnam, and the CIA's Air America was running drugs. By some estimates, 10 to 15% of US servicemen became heroin addicts while "in country."<br /><br />As for Afghanistan, "<a href="https://www.rt.com/usa/245877-afghanistan-pentagon-blackwater-opium/" rel="nofollow">since the US toppled the Taliban in 2002, opium production in the country has tripled</a>. Afghanistan accounted for over 90 percent of the world’s heroin market in 2014." This is despite (or more likely because of) the US spending $7 billion in "counter-narcotics" programs. It should come as no surprise that more than half a billion of that ended up in the hands of Blackwater, run by Erik Prince, brother of Trump's Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.<br /><br />Strange how the drug trade seems to flourish is places where the US gives "military support."<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
