That's just Mr. Osobampo-Armenta's, his cartel employer's and China's (fentanyl) way of showing their love for America.

Definitely a war story. We got all kinds of ways to fight wars. The Chinese even fight this kind of war a bit differently. In China Mr. Osobampo-Armenta would end up on his knees with his hands tied behind his back and a pistol at the back of his head. Maybe that's why they don't have quite the drug problem we do are not losing it the way we are.

Of course not. They export the components to other countries, and profit off them.

[DAWN] Bangladesh police on Monday night arrested the top leaders of the country's largest Islamist party, an official said, as the government appeared to have launched a crackdown on the main opposition parties.
Nine people were arrested after a raid on a house in Dhaka's northern neighbourhood of Uttara, including the top leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, Maqbul Ahmed, deputy leader Shafiqur Rahman and former member of parliament Golam Parwar.
“We learnt from a secret source they were holding a meeting at a secret place at a house in Uttara Sector Number Six. We have found some papers from that place,” Dhaka Police deputy commissioner Shaikh Nazmul Alam told AFP, adding they were investigating the documents.
He did not say what the Jamaat leaders were arrested for, but that “most of them were fugitive”.
Prothom Alo, the country's largest newspaper, said the leaders were arrested on charges of sabotage.
The arrests came as the government appeared to have launched a crackdown on the opposition parties after it came under heavy flak for its handling of the Rohingya crisis which has seen a massive influx of refugees fleeing violence in neighbouring Myanmar.
Earlier in the day, a court in the country's east issued an arrest warrant against main opposition leader Khaleda Zia after she failed to appear at a hearing over charges related to a 2015 fire-bombing of a bus that killed eight people.
Zia has been visiting her exiled son in London for the last two months and is expected to return home later this month.
The country's chief justice, who is widely seen as a major critic of the government, has also gone on a month-long leave, amid concerns that he was forcibly sent to vacation and might not return to duty.

As Fred described them at the time, "...a Zoomie, a Doggy, and some guy they knew." You can read about those long-ago excitements here and the following days, dear Reader.
A judicial official said Tuesday that the two were detained Monday on orders of the counterterrorism judge leading the probe. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... because the investigation is ongoing, would not provide further information.
French media reports said the two suspects are believed to have a link to detained attacker Ayoub El Khazzani, who was overpowered by Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,n passengers on the train from Amsterdam to Gay Paree. El Khazzani's lawyer says he acted on orders from the leader of the IS cell that later targeted Gay Paree in deadly attacks.

[TheLocal.fr] Swiss police on Tuesday announced the arrest of a Tunisian couple including the brother of the assailant who fatally stabbed two young women in the French city of Marseille this month.
The pair, both asylum seekers, were locked away ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... on Sunday in Chiasso, near the Italian border.
"The man is the brother of the presumed perpetrator of the attack in Marseille," a statement from Swiss federal police said, referring to Ahmed Hanachi, the 29-year-old who killed two women in the French coastal city on October 1st.
The man currently in Swiss custody is "known to foreign police services for his links to jihadist terrorist movements," the statement added.
"His role in the Marseille attack, if he had one, is not yet clear."
Federal police spokeswoman Cathy Maret separately told AFP that, in accordance with Swiss law, the detained husband and wife are due to be repatriated to Tunisia.
But that process will take several weeks at minimum and could be altered if another jurisdiction requests the couple's extradition.
Maret earlier said that police had information indicating the couple "could represent a threat to Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell... 's domestic security"
They were arrested at the migrant registration centre in Chiasso in Switzerland's Italian-speaking Ticino region, Maret added.
A French security source close to the investigation into the Marseille attack identified the man in Swiss custody as Anouar Hanachi.
The source said the arrests were requested by Tunisian authorities.
Swiss police would not confirm the identities of either the man or woman.
The news comes as one of Hanachi's other brothers, Anis, was arrested Saturday night in Italia, after French authorities issued an international arrest warrant.
Another one of his brothers and a sister were detained in Tunisia late last week and had been questioned by anti-terror Sherlocks there. They have since been released.
Tunisian security sources have said they suspect both Ahmed and Anour Hanachi of being "extremists".
Their father Noureddine has told AFP that he doubted his sons in Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... had been radicalized, adding that he had not heard from either for two months.

MOSCOW: A Sukhoi military jet crashed while trying to take off from Russia’s Hmeimim base in Syria on Tuesday, killing the crew, Russian news agencies quoted a military spokesman as saying.
“The Su-24 plane rolled off the runway and broke up while accelerating for takeoff... The plane’s crew did not have time to eject and died,” the spokesman said.
He did not clarify how many people died, but the Su-24 usually has a crew of two.
“According to a report from the scene of the accident, the reason could be a technical failure,” he added.
Russia has staged air strikes in Syria in support of the regime of President Bashar Assad since 2015.
On Tuesday, the defense ministry said Russian planes are currently carrying out 150 strikes per day in eastern Syria against Daesh terrorists.
The latest casualties put the toll of Russian servicemen officially reported killed in Syria at 37.
Last month a Russian general was killed near the eastern city of Deir Ezzor, where Russian special forces are participating in the regime’s ground offensive.
Deir Ezzor (Syria News) The Russian Ministry of Defense announced, on Tuesday, that its warplanes are carrying out 150 air strikes, on daily basis, on the Islamic State-held areas in Mayadin City, in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.
Spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, Igor Konashinkov, said in a statement that the ministry has observed attempts to move the Islamic State militants, including foreign fighters, from Iraq to Syria.
The air strikes are part of a military operation conducted by the Syrian regime forces, backed by the Russian Air Forces, to recapture the city of Mayadin and al-Omar oil field, located in eastern Deir Ezzor.
The Russian warplanes destroyed the funding resources of the Islamic State group, and now aiming at foiling the radical group attempts to extract oil from their-held areas, in the Syrian territory, Konashinkov added.
In addition, the ministry also accused the US-led coalition of lessening the number of its air strikes on the Islamic State headquarters in Iraq, after the Syrian army launched an offensive to liberate the city of Deir Ezzor in Syria.
It is noteworthy that the Islamic State militants are suffering due to the heavy strikes of the army troops and Syrian Democratic Forces, which are conducted on several areas, in the countryside of Deir Ezzor.
The Russian Aerospace Forces have destroyed an ISIL command center in Syria’s Deir Ezzor province and killed some 34 terrorists who entered the country from Iraq’s western regions, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
The Russian aircraft carried out 182 airstrikes against the positions of ISIL terrorists in Syria in the past 24 hours, the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday. A total of 70 ISIL terrorists, who were later identified as nationals of CIS states and Algeria, were eliminated, according to Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov.
The airstrikes were carried out after reconnaissance drones had discovered a large stronghold of ISIL terrorists on the eastern bank of the Euphrates river near the city of Mayadeen. The terrorists had an artillery and tank projectiles depot, as well as a ramified network of underground tunnels there.
“A ISIL command post and three groups of terrorists who arrived in the area from the territory of Iraq as a reinforcement were destroyed. The elimination of 34 militants, the destruction of 5 SUVs with large-caliber weapons, as well as 2 vehicles with ammunition has been confirmed,” Russian Konashenkov stated, commenting on one of the airstrikes near the village of Hatla in the province.
The spokesman went on by saying that a Russian Sukhoi Su-34 jet hit the same area 40 minutes later when ISIL militants arrived at the scene to evacuate wounded terrorists. As the result of that strike, 20 more militants were eliminated.
