Re: California Has Seized Nearly 7 Million Fentanyl Pills Since January
Fentanyl dealers should be treated as foreign agents working on behalf of China and executed.
I'm all about freedom to choose what you put in your body.
Legalize drugs even (to some extent) to get rid of the black market.
But there are some drugs, like Fentanyl, that should not be considered drugs. They should be considered chemical weapons.
In high school I learned about how drugs were used in the boxer rebellion. A 3 minute video about it didn’t mention drugs so this makes me wonder if they were deployed in later conflicts.
High spy, is there something you are looking for here? I have read WWII German troops were given Methamphetamine. From Wikipedia on opium wars which you are probably remembering, The Boxer rebellion was a bit later. Even in longer discussions I do not read of opium being an important consideration then. That might explain the 3 minute video not considering it.
The First Opium War was fought from 1839 to 1842 between China and Britain. It was triggered by the Chinese government's campaign to enforce its prohibition of opium, which included destroying opium stocks owned by British merchants and the British East India Company. The British government responded by sending a naval expedition to force the Chinese government to pay reparations and allow the opium trade.[1] The Second Opium War was waged by Britain and France against China from 1856 to 1860, and consequently resulted in China being forced to legalise opium.[2]
The matter is an interesting background for foreign relationships and cultural attitudes.
Adding I am not remembering a case of drugs being used as weapons of war. Perhaps somebody might think of opiates harming US troops in Vietnam. I have not heard that seen as organized enemy action but that may have been unnecessary. I may also not know all the details.
From 2011 through 2018, both fatal overdoses associated with abuse of clandestinely produced fentanyl and fentanyl analogues, and law enforcement encounters increased markedly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fentanyl analouges were involved in roughly 2,600 drug overdose deaths each year in 2011 and 2012, but from 2012 through 2018, the number of drug overdose deaths involving fentanyl and other synthetic opioid increased dramatically each year. More recently, there has been a re-emergence of trafficking, distribution, and abuse of illicitly produced fentanyl and fentanyl analogues with an associated dramatic increase in overdose
Whaaaa??? You mean Trumpty Dumpty didn’t solve the problem?

Yeah, he isn’t fooling anybody. If he is not the devil, he nevertheless does the devil’s work.

If we go after the drug dealers too aggressively they’ll get pissed off and wreak havoc. It will make them win.
