Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics. [ColonelCassad] After the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, opium production decreased by 95%.
The estimated volume of heroin exported this year is 24-38 tons, compared to 350-580 tons last year. But the UN is not happy about it: the organization says the sudden contraction of Afghanistan's opium economy will lead to potential "humanitarian consequences for many vulnerable rural communities" as producers are forced to turn to much less profitable alternative crops.
We don’t know how it is at the UN, but we at the editorial office know for sure: drugs are evil. https://t.me/pezdicide/3279 - zinc As soon as the Americans were removed, the production of heroin without the main beneficiaries of drug trafficking collapsed. It was exactly the same on the eve of the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, when the Taliban set records for reducing the production of narcotic raw materials.The Taliban have a plus in their karma - they basically keep one of their main promises.

#3 I find this difficult to believe. But no worries even if it's true. Now we have fentanyl. |

#2 Yes! Same "cut" that allowed Afgan warlord "security" to be contracted to man US Forward Operating base security towers and perimeters. |

#1 Tell me again why we didn't destroy it all when we had the opportunity? Someone is getting a 'cut'. |
