Haven't we learned our lesson about unprovoked wars after watching East Europe for the past year and a half??

@emizeko - not sure if you're a Russian troll or a poor American doing the real fascists' work for them--but I'm sorry for you my friend and hope the best for you. If you missed it in my other comments, I'm currently serving in the US military and am very confident that Western media at large is on the money, and that a novice OSINTer could refute the fanfic you posted. Best wishes.

this is true, but not because people like these companies. it's because businesses control politics in this country, and if you go after a major company like Disney and don't let them do whatever they want, suddenly other businesses and donors start going "hey wait a second... we don't want to be next, we'll just support another guy"

The Mexican government has also responded to these proposals with scalding outrage. As Zach Beauchamp points out at Vox, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said at a press conference that “We won’t allow it. And not only are we not going to allow it, we’re denouncing it.” Even a single drone attack would seem highly likely to end up in a direct confrontation with the Mexican military.

That's the important part of the article. It may be worth discussing whether to use the US military against drug cartels, but doing it without the full consent of the Mexican government would be batshit crazy.

I'd still call bullshit. Done attacks will be useless. People desire drugs. They'll find a way.

The problem is supply and demand. If people want to use drugs, they're going to either way. We need to make the drugs ourselves and create harm reduction centers. Attack the problem at home.

For real, if I was buying FDA regulated MDMA at Walgreens, there would be a virtually 0 percent chance of me accidentally getting addicted to fentanyl.
